I finally got the dome led's. Here are the pics.

Oh wow, that looks great - I've been thinking of doing the same with my car. Did you replace the reading lights with the red LEDs as well? If so, can you still actually use them to read at all?

I was just thinking about this the other day. who what when how? I got why, no probs with why ;)

seriously, how much and by whom? I'm going to assume streetglow?

Yes I changed the map lights and yes you can actually use then to read. I was worried but I can still read with them.

For the maplights, dome light and door lights probably about $25.

Where'd you buy from and what sizes do you need? $25 sounds like a price I can live with.

I got them off ebay. For the map lights and door lights you need 194 and its DE3175 for the dome light. Make sure they are LED's or else its not gonna be as dark as mine.

Yeah, I was defintiely planning on getting LEDs, I hear they're fade-resistant where coated bulbs will turn pink over time. Thanks for the help! I'll get some pics of my own up once I actually manage to get it done.

I did mine shortly after getting the car. If you add the footwell lights it looks even better. I think that it cost me like $15 bucks for the bulbs. I think I got them from autoillumination.com.

i have all blue LED's in mine but it looks like your dome is alot brighter then mine...can't remember...haven't seen my car in about a month!

How do you wire the footwell?

for the map light, did you use the wide angle ones, or the focused ones?

nice and cheap, I'm even replacing the trunk bulb. going with super white back there, the OEM bulb is just too weak

Who was the seller on eBay?

I got the wide angle.

For the map lights u have to be very careful on what led's to buy cuz they might not fit. Make sure they are the same dimension as the regular bulbs.

I was just about to ask if anyone had done it in blue. I bet that would be a cool color scheme. If you have any pics, please post :)

I have all my map lights in blue. Looks pretty cool.

how easy is it to replace the map lights?

i'll get some pics as soon as i get my car back from the body shop this week-end.

It's easy but you have to be very careful. PLEASE use a an id card or credit to push on the metal clips. I'll post pictures when I get home.

I'd love to do a blue interior light job as well. (just wish I could turh the speedo and console lights blue...)

just thinking, I may stick with super white bulbs for the map lights..., how bright is the red dome? brite enough by itself or does it NEED the help of the maps? thanks, sorry for being a pest, but that looks really good on ur car.

You want to use the dome light to read? But the dome is bright enough for the inside of the car. But if you want to read with the dome light might be hard. The map lights is better to read since it has clear lenses and its focused down.

Yeah i just got them too(red). so far i like. Got the bulb ones from pepboys at first and hated the color. I then ordered the LED's off ebay and there much better. I would suggest these to anyone who is looking for a cheep upgrade, only spent like 16.00 for the set of three. (did not do the map lights)

Red looks fresh, thats what i have.

omg what a blast from the past....

nice, i got white LED's and man are they bright.

haha a resurrected thread from 2005! nice!

anyways, i recently replaced all my interior lights to red leds except for the license plate light, trunk light, and vanity mirror lights which are white leds instead.

here are the pics i posted in the other L.E.D. interior thread in the interior section of the forum

the reflection of the lights off the leather looks so much better then it does with my cloth seats.

Red light District look lol

I was thinking about doing my dome and door lights in blue and the map lights in green :)

yeah i did all of my interior lights in super red. looks great at night. i'll try to take pics and put up a link tonight since i have to update my before and after stuff anyway.

installing is very easy for all lights... the door lights and dome light covers just pop out and you can push and pull replacement lights right in. the reading lights you just need a screwdriver and you can get to the access in the sunglass holder. easy as pie. :)
