Colorful Light's
Hey I have some questions on lights. I know you guys can help me out :fingersx:
Has anyone changed the dome lights, center counsel lights, door lights or floor board lights? If so what bulbs did you use and do they last long? Where can I find them? Thank you! |
Do you mean similar to this : https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/interior-lights-l-e-d-85272/

Over 3000 posts and you don't know how to SEARCH??!!! :rollingla
Codes for everything but headlights are the same, but in case you were considering the headlights, below are both links. Also, I threw in a set of cheap-o (ashamed to say) Pep Boys red bulbs in my doors, b/c I just did the OEM reds under the dash, and turned off the dome light. I want to keep the dome white for when I actually need it, so didn't change that one. The door courtesy lights were a little difficult for me, b/c it's a small space. I had my GF pull the clear bulbs cuz her fingers fit in there better. Overall, the red is not very bright all around, so I would recommend going with aftermkt LED's like the members here if you want bright, flashy colors. NOTE: the 2825 code baffles me. I didn't see that number in stores (online and brick stores), and somewhere else on the forum I saw 194 in place of this number. The door lights I replaced with 194, and it works. :doh: the links did not work right. Try this one |
Dmc,
pulling off the door lights is super easy. Just take a small flat head screwdriver and there is a groove on the bottom of the lens. Insert screwdriver and slowly pull towards you. Lots of people put a bit of electrical tape on screwdriver just to make sure they dont' scratch the lens but it's not necessary. |
^ Thanks, but I only had trouble getting a grip on the bulb to remove it. That's were the GF's magic fingers came in handy. :FIREdevil

Try this one but if you going to replace with LED, it doesn't matter http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...nal_bulbs.html |
194 from superbrightleds.com is the code for the 2 maplights and courtesy lights. The dome light took me a while but I found it. 3022 is the code for the festoon bulb in the dome light. I got the x9 led in it because it was the brightest (its on page 2 below the wled series 6 led bulbs for the map and courtesy lights.). Im glad I did, it is a little less bright than the 6 led in my map lights and courtesy lights.

If your eyes are sensitive you may want to steer away from interior LEDs. You know how the stock incandescents dim a bit when you shut the door and then fade out after a few seconds? Well, LEDs are able to replicate that, but the result is a nasty flicker (much like a monitor with its refresh rate set too low). I felt like I was having a seizure, so I took them out. I have a couple sets of LEDs lying around, so I was able to try a couple different bulbs and they all have the same effect. Too bad, you just can't get a nice vibrant color out of tinted incandescent bulbs.

i used a red led in the glove box, i believe it keeps my night vision during night missions lol
i think it looks quite standard. i put red bulbs in the door courtesy lights, i heard that bulbs fade a lot better than led's so thats why i used them there. i wan't to change out my puddle lights to red bulbs as well as they fade in and out. As i have a velocity red i don't think it will look to rice, just got to work out how ot get the white bulbs out? |
