This was my old setup
You got the idea?
Left one is normal led bulb, see it's like facing at 45 degree, not 90 down straight

rossv1

Thanks a lot Meko!

I'll run by Autozone and see if they have them. If they don't then I think I may go with the ones that EkSoni posted or some LED boards like you posted.

MEKO

You are welcome
That would be a clean job.

For glove box and armrest, I have 1 led from superrbrightled.cm since the first day, they still work fine.
But, I had lot of problems with their 15led bulbs for interior+doors..

rossv1

I've already got LEDs in the dome lights and doors so I'm good there. I may put LEDs in the vanity lights though.

EkSoni

Ghetto job on those boards haha but damn they look bright!

rossv1

So I went with the LEDs from Autozone and have them plugged in but I can't get the lens cover to connect with the gray bulb housing (?) for the life of me. Any tricks to get it connected? I've been fooling with it for the better part of an hour.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

What lens cover? Which ones

rossv1

The clear cover that attaches to the trunk, and then you plug the bulb fixture thing into that?

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Ok, another old picture

This?
You just push it in



Edit: ooh you disconnected that gray power soruce thing? Just insert it back
I think i didn't get you

Fuck those covers

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Double F the ones under the visors

rossv1

Holy shit that was nearly impossible. Turns out i was trying to out them in upside down.

Gotta say they do look damn good though. I'll get some pictures later on to igut when it's darker.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

So how did you pop them out?

Only real way I've seen is this....

Wow I never saw that thread when I was trying to take em out.
I still suck at searching on this website and google doesn't bring up everything

anyways, that's the only way. Unless you want to rip off that metal frame from the surface

ohhh thread is created long after I was searching about it haha

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Haha, want me to bump it?

rossv1

I did this for the license plate lights and not the vanity lights.


But for the license plate light covers, you just push to the right and it pops right out.





This was a pain in the ass mod. Mostly on my part though.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Oh! Whoops.

I had my dad help me with that, he got it in like 10 seconds

Reverse lights were much easier.

The vanity and trunk lights are assholes though.

And I need to install my trunk one, I still have the ugly halogen bulb in there, it's beyond dull.

EkSoni

iTrader: (2)

Curious to see how bright the bulbs look. And haha the license plate bulb covers for 3g tl and accord are a pain at first but once you realize that you need to angle them back in, then its a piece of cake lol.

rossv1

What LED reverse lights are people going with? And what size bulb is it?



I'll go snap a picture of them now during the day and one later tonight so you can compare how they look.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Haha bump it, may be some skipped replacing those to leds because they couldn't take it out

Wow are you guys serious about the trunk? That's was the mosssst easy one, even easier than the interior.
If you look at it, there is actually a spot for tiny screw driver to go in, unlike the interior ones

Undying Dreams

It's a 921 bulb.

I just got them in the mail yesterday, plan on installing this weekend.

Lol I ordered the same ones yesterday hope they are bright.. Cause the cree ones I have are blinding but horrible with the camera.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Yeah I hope they are. The ones I currently have suck. (No reverse cam here though)

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

They look nice, good choice

rossv1

Damn. $40 for reverse lights? haha

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Coupon codes ftw!

EkSoni

iTrader: (2)

I'll sell you my crees! Those bitches were like $60 or 80

rossv1

Here's a couple of shots of the new bulbs. They're pretty damn bright, but the color is almost spot on with the color of the license plate lights on my mom's Lexus.

EkSoni

iTrader: (2)

That's pretty bright & its a nice cool white color! I must get a pair and compare them to vleds lol.

You peer pressured me into it.

iTrader: (3)

I don't regret it. Your car looks mean as fawk now.

Now I need to pressure you to park your car between the lines, not on top of them

rossv1

Haha. I parked like that so we'd have enough room to work.







I'll wash it up and get better pics tonight or tomorrow.

I'm glad I gave in, this shit looks fantastic.

Looks good, Ross!

Redsand353

a-spec ftw! welcome to the club. You need to plastidip your grill now to match the back.

rossv1

Thanks guys.

I'm planning on Plastidipping the grille, I just can't decide if I want to do the whole thing, or just the center bar.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Oooo looks nice

Redsand353

Do the whole thing! I wanna see what it looks like as i am on the fence also
