Hi Moda_way,

I was wondering if you saw these lights:

the matrix 25- LED lights. I know they are not the same code as the ones you mentioned but they also come in wedge and was wondering if you know that if it could fit in the rear lights since they are also wedge based. These look nice. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!

So is this the right bulb to buy from superbrightleds.com for the doors?

WLED-B4 Blue LED bulb
12VDC Blue 4-LED Wedge Base Bulb (194/168 type)

or this one?

WLED-6 LED bulb
12 VDC 6-LED Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
Our brightest bulb of this type
Non Polarized
Select White, Blue or Red LED color
$ 2.99

for some reason i cannot get led lights to work properly in my front dome lights. when i install them they don't turnoff. but when tried xenon bulbs in there they workedfine. also led bulbs work fine in my rear domelight. can anyone explain this phenomenom?

i used the t1-3 bulb. it's a 6 led but a few cents cheaper than the wled-6 bulb.

T13-B6 Blue LED bulb
12VDC Blue 6-LED Wedge Base bulb

Thanks a lot, I'll try and find that one...

you know what this happened to me as well. But i switched the front dome lights by putting the left in right, and right in left. that fixed the problem, although i have no idea how or why it would matter which side the lights are on. hope that works for you.

jiggaman

ok well that makes absolutely no sense. but i'll give it a try.

RogerPodacter

I do concur with the insanity, but for some reason it worked. Maybe it was dumb luck.

If you put the lights in one way they don't work correctly. All you have to do is turn them around. That's what worked for me.

and bondgirl is correct the...
T13-B6 Blue LED bulb
12VDC Blue 6-LED Wedge Base bulb
measure 1 1/8 long by 1/2 inch maximum diameter (194/168 type)
$ 2.99
...is the correct bulb.

jiggaman

holy shit. that worked! haha. i'm psyched. thanks guys.

moda_way

All, this has nothing to do with craziness. LEDs have polarity and do require to be installed in a correct position. That's all.

i ordered the exact model number from superbright leds as posted in this topic above for the door lights, yet they dont seem to work. when i put the stock ones back in they work fine. is there some special trick to installing the bulb or does it have to be inserted in a special way.

ortiz

If you plug it in and it does not work, unplug it turn it 180 degrees and plug it back in.

Thanks for all the pointers guys.

I just ordered Xenon for the Domes and also Blue LEDs for the domes and doors. Still undecided so I will try both, they are cheap enough. Let you know when I receive and install. Will try to get some pics too!

Before I install though, I was looking at the rear dome, and just curious how you open this fixture as I did not see the tabs holding the lense?

ortiz

I used the screwdriver for meant for my glasses. Just cover it with something so you don't scratch anything.

I just got my blue LEDs. Put in the ones above the passenger and driver's seats. So far I'm undecided. Do all the lenses just pop out with a screwdriver?

ortiz

Yes. But be carefull when you do the back one (scratches).

Jay are you realy going to put these in your car? RICE!

jiggaman

after popping my dome light covers off and putting them back on a couple times one of them got a little play in it. Not enough that you would ever notice unless you have some major bass in your car from subwoofers. That was an annoying rattle boy, let me tell ya. But after i replaced it with a new one it was tight as can be and no rattles.

dailo

Could someone give me the sizes I need or recomendations. I want to replace all the bulbs in the interior to super white. I know I need the 31mm festoon xenons for the front domes, but I was wondering what sizes I would need for the side and rear domes. Thanks.

tai

nice definitly putting those in my car.... Looks really good, thanks for the idea!!!!

TSX Cman

wow.... i forgot about this thread. lol. i had a post in the first page saying my domes have burnt out. and.... months later, i still dont have interior lights..
im definately gonna get into action now. i have the indigo blue car.
hwo do you think some pure white dome lights, the blue door lights would look. or is it better to stick with just white or just blue?

ortiz

It is all personal preference. But the any of the combos you mentioned would look fine.

I have a SSM and I did the Blue Int. Lights and I love them. I did the 6 Led in the Doors and 3 led is the domes.
