I have been trying to figure out a way to get rid of the yellow vanity festoon, and finally it has arrived at autolumination.com for 8.00/each

I love them. I hope this will help some of you to complete your interior LED conversion.

Here are some pictures I took with factory festoon comparison.

Wow!!! That is a major improvement. I love them. What year is your car. I don't recall them being that yellow in mine...I guess I will have to go and take a look.

Again that is a drastic change.

Looks good. But in terms of brightness, are they look bright but NOT as bright as those yellow stock bulb???

jwood_06TSX

nice, i am going to get these as well as the ones for the map lights, btw anyone know the number of the bulb for the map lights, i forget? I have the blue ones in the doors and for the map lights but they aren't bright enough when you need to read something....lol.


EDIT: Nevermind, i found it, 3022.

jwood_06TSX

Which number of LED bulbs do you have in your map lights, 6 or 9??

Anyone know whats the led in the rear I have to replace it its too dim.

Im going buy all three at once =)

jwood_06TSX

The rear dome light and the map lights are the same 3022 bulb!

TSXHunter05

do these come in blue or just white

relik2004

Where did you get them from and do they get hotter than the reg lights? I assume they don't because they are LEDs. I changed my map lights in another car and the bulbs melted the plastice casue they got so hot! I think that looks great but let me know where you bought them!

TSXHunter05

here ya go!

MTLer

Sweet!! i was gonna try and make my own but this is easier!

tuoncan

Don't get the 9 LEDs one for the map or dome light, get these

They are way much brighter.

will the 6 led fit the vanity's and map lights? which size do you order (31,39,44)?

T-Mac

With the new LED's, do they still fade in and out when you turn the car off? Or do they just come on at the full brightness???

Thanks for the great find, I just ordered mine.

Hey what's goin' on peoples...

I'm brand spankin' new to this forum and to the TSX world. I use to drive a 95 300zx TT and recently got rid of it. So now I drive a 06 Dark blue TSX.

I do miss riding out with the Z car club (www.sfzcc.com) but I still keep in touch.

So anyway...

I had a few questions about the LEDs and the term/vocabulary lol... The "map lights" is the lights above in the center that you have to push to turn on? or is that the Vanity lights? Also to replace those bulbs do you all know the size?

oh and btw, good find on the LEDs, they look great!

Audioserf

Ordered two of these today. Thanks for the heads-up!

I just put these in (white, "6 LED Super High Flux" festoons).

Love the color, and they are insanely bright. When I open the doors, they light up the ground so much that they make my puddle lights (still stock) useless.

But...they are TOO bright! If you or your passenger turn one on to read something at night, you will be momentarily blinded until your eyes readjust. If your passenger is using his/her maplight while you're driving at night, you will get a ton of reflections on your windshield, plus your eyes will adapt to your superbright interior, making it even harder to see outside while your trying to drive.

I'm thinking that I should have gotten the 9 small LED, or the one big LED "SuperStar" festoons instead. But then, I think the 9 LED bulbs have the problem of never quite turning off? (My 6 LED "Super Flux" at least ARE completely off when they're supposed to be off.)

Also, I can confirm that the fade-in/fade-out function still works with these LED bulbs. However, not as nicely as it used to. The LEDs only seem capable of being at half brightness or more. Whereas the original bulbs faded from full brightness gradually to off and vice versa, the LEDs go from full brightness to half brightness then off within a second. Fade-in starts at half bright and goes to full brightness within a second, instead of gradual full off to full on.

^^^ i'm about to order these for my map lights and rear dome...just to make sure though...it's the same bulb for all 3 right? i want to replace my 9LED's from tec-toyz

tuoncan

31 is the size for the map and dome light

TSX420J

You da man!!!!!!!!!

moda_way

I have them now and they are FANTASTIC. I'm now 100% LED except for the turn signals.

jwood_06TSX

Hey Ryan,

Which ones do you have in your doors, maps, and dome? Like which # LED, 6 or 9?



Does anyone else know anywhere that has these because the other 6 super bright LED's are a little pricey compared to other sites?

Audioserf

I put mine in yesterday, looking good. No more yellow incandescant bulbs for me inside the car!

I was away when this thread was first opened, thanks for the bump guys! Ordering a set now.

moda_way

I have my old 168/192 6LEDs in the doors (got a long time ago from superbrightleds.com). Maps and dome are the large 9LED 3012 Festoons from this same place where I got the vanity lights.

AFAIK, these guys are the only ones carrying the vanity light 3LED bulbs. I think these guys are also the only ones carrying the 9LED map and dome bulbs too. I don't think Superbrightleds.com has this stuff. Its worth it here. Quality is top notch.

sonnyg80

just put these in yesterday, look sooo nice now with the entire interior in leds

Jeff The Pianist

Do these actually work at night when you need them, or do they just look really cool?

moda_way

They aren't as good, per the wife's feedback at dusk. They do work perfectly fine at night. The only issue your significant other would have is that the light is so white, that they'll start reapplying makeup. The regular bulb is more like natural light, but these are simply worth having if you'd done the LED conversion inside and out.

drigo

got my 6 LED dome/map lights in yesterday....wow...they're bright!!
anybody buy the license plate LED's from them? i'd like to find one thats as bright...if so...which bulbs did you order?

moda_way

I got the 194 Superstar Bulbs from autolumination.com. They are fantastic.

drigo

great...thanks...i was wondering..would these bulbs fit good without any problems? cause the 6LED's i bought from them for my map & dome lights didn't fit right...i had to trim some plastic piece off inside the light casing to get the bulb straight in there...

drigo

i found them...but quick question before i order...
are these the ones you have?


i found another which is a "wide angle"..would these work? basically i'm looking for the brightest white...



thanks

pnoylicious

Is there a specific size of vanity lights for the TSX or they're all the same size (31mm)?

moda_way

Yes.

moda_way

They are 31mm x 5mm, but autolumination.com lists them as: Vanity Mini 3 Led SMT Festoon
