thanks Rev, bulb swapped out.
Can't believe it's taken me this long to swap out that damn light, especially considering I've changed every single light on my car. (at least once)



I really wish I'd have remembered about this thread before ordering 4 sets of LED's last week. Oh well, still worth the money.
I just changed out my driver's lights (little round guys up front) again and this time I went with the SMT Hi Power 194's

think I'm going to take your recommendation on the clear corner bulbs: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p5768086.html

but the map lights you have in the 1st post are sold out.
suggestions?

The Reverend

I hope you make it to the next meet Jedi with the new bulbs, I have been *this* close to ordering the Hi Power SMTs for parking lights and sides.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Rev: the parking lights are on the car already, I might order the high power for the clears but I don't think I'll have them by Saturday's meet.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

anyone have any good recommendations / experience for map lights?
I've got a set of random 194's in there now but they're not all that great.

These are listed in the 1st post as what Aipex is using but they are no longer available.

Ordered a pair of parking lights and fog bulbs like 3 days ago. Just received them. I love the fast ship.

I'm still on this LED kick (again) and was about to order new side marker bulbs, map light bulbs, and a dome light but the dome lights are out of stock.

CarAndDriver

I clicked on the link a couple days ago and out of stock. Hope its not permanent.

Jedi54

the biggest problem with that bulb being out of stock is that now I"m looking at MORE led's.
Now I want to replace the vanity mirror bulbs. Why?! no clue, I never use them but because so 'everything will match'

The Reverend

iTrader: (1)

Just take the vanity mirror bulbs out and tell your passengers to use the map light!!! Problem solved!!!

Btw V-leds got me pulled over tonight. Cop said that the WHITE strip light leds that I rigged up above the license plate are blue. He let me off but just a word of warning, especially if you drive a blue 8

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

get rid of the strip, I always thought it was a bit 'ricey'. Just get a good LED bulb in there and you're good.

The Reverend

iTrader: (1)

Aw really? =/

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

yeah, sorry.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

still undecided on what to use for map lights.

Well let us know when you decide. The original bulbs in the map light is about as bright as a brithday candle. Tired of using a flashlight to look for things on the floor when it's dark out.

These two pictures were taken with the following inside a pitch black garage:

I will try to snap a couple better ones with my little tripod later on to reduce blurriness

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

nice Rev!
how happy are you with those map lights?

The Reverend

iTrader: (1)

Very happy with them although I do notice that they flicker ever so slightly as they shut off. I only notice this when looking directly at them, there is no apparent strobing effect going on in the car though

SNTP I'll snap a couple for you showing the brightness on the front and rear floors

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Rev: can you take a pic with only the map lights on?
maybe one pic with just ONE light on, and then with both map lights? (no dome light)

thanks bro

iTrader: (2)

i've been meaning to change out my parking lights. just might have to do these and then possibly change out my map and dome lights to LEDs.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

do it CT, the bulbs are awesome.
I'll try to get some decent night pics this week. Or I might wait a week or so till I replace the corners as well.

1 map



2 map



2 map & hi power dome (tried to get the floor for you SNTP)



all interior leds, this one to show that these are pretty darn bright if you look straight into them

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Rev: that looks pretty good!

The Reverend

iTrader: (1)

Thanks man, I always roll with the dome light on with the other lights so it's plenty bright, if anything it's a teensy bit brighter than the pics show irl.

but regarding your pm you may be onto something

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

I'm half tempted to go with what I PM'd you.
decisions, decisions.
