really there a light in the ignition ?? i guess mind doesnt work..

 

There has to be because every time you open your door, it is suppose to illuminate. You can't see it at all during the day unless you put your hand over the ignition and cover it up but at night you can see it. The light is like a greenish color.

 

Well I finally got the time to put in the 74s that I got. Here are some pics for all of you. Sorry for the horrific quality, but you guys will get my point. ENJOY!

Cluster now with the 74s throwing light on the it:

yea i think its not just u i think its who ever put leds in there gauges has that problem . i have it..i got white leds and looks awsome.. i also bought the overhead leds ,once i put it in ,it wasnt that bright enuff..so what i did was take the over head cover and cut the blue part of lil by lilttle just to make it right.i'll post picture later

 

Does anyone know the size of the bulb in the glove box? or is it the same size as the ones that are in the doors?

 

Same. I have a 10W bulb in there right now. Bright as hell (stock is 5W) and I can find EVERYTHING that I throw in there, haha.

LED's use way less energy, so if you accidentally leave the Dome light on, the battery should hold foR HOURS! Right?

 

I know that it has been a month since i posted something up with the conversion and I got my reverse lights in today and once the snow stops today or tomorrow.

 

Yes and no. If the LED was directly connected to your battery, then yes, it will last a long time. No, because the relays to power that light to take some power as well. In my old Accord, after damaging my alternator and battery, I was only able to start it with a jump box while holding the door switch closed. Even with no bulbs in ANY socket, it would still take power. That's why if you're jump starting someone's car, have the receiving car keep its doors shut while you're charging their battery. It'll go faster.

Interesting. thanks for the info.

I have LED reverse lights, they really aren't any better.

 

what're the bulb sizes for the shifted and cigarette lighter?

 

^ They're T5 74s.

Depends on the brand and type you get. What I want to do is find one of those new Cadillac sedans and take their reverse lights. Bright as hell and factory, too.

~Cheers~

 

where did you get the lights for your gauge.

 

Pepboys and v-leds.com

 

I'm think about super white LEDs for all the ones you replaced with blue. What do you think? Could it maybe be...too...bright? :p

 

Super white would be fine. I did blue only because I have blue LEDs in my doors and it went with the rest of the color scheme that I was doing, but white would be fine.

 

i just bought a set already for the led lighting for my car ,mine use to be blue now its white...the bright is perfect..your best of going for the bright and not fade..now the lights are classic..

i got 4 leds on the door,2 dome leds,and one 36 leds in the trunk very sexy bright i went thur v-leds.com

 

Thanks to you, and Big Ballas comment. I'm definitely going to replace the 4 doors, dome and map lights, and trunk. As for the gauges, I'm just keeping those the same since I got the reverse glow gauges. For the other such as the lights to the left of the steering wheel and the climate control and what not...I'm not sure yet.
