Im thinking to get some bulbs for interior and exterior . I do have cleared headlights and i will need some turn signal bulbs and parking lts. Im thinking to get PIAA or Polarg .

Any idea what the part's # . Any one have a list of what bulbs should i get or pics . I did my search already any additional help ?

 

screw piaa and polarg, get LEDs, im doing a full LED all around the car. I have them inside and im doing the tailights this week.

 

oh for interior i recommend these...
http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm

scroll down to the bottom, there is a 9LED wedge for all 4 interior lights, and right below it is a 9LED festoon bulb for the dome, you wont be disappointed, everyone compliments the lighting.

 

cool how about otside

 

I tried buying it and got this website:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...9.7013&next=50


For the 4 interior one is this the right one?

921 Wedge Base LED bulb
921 Type with 9 LEDs, replaces 194/168 wedge base car bulbs
Available in White, Blue, Green, Red and Amber LED
measures 1.25 inch long by 0.60 inch diameter

For the Dome one which one is the right one?

 

Thanks

 

yes, the 921 wedges are for the 4 interiors, for the dome, on that same page you linked, it is the 4410 festoon

as for outside, i will post more info about that when i get the leds, ive been experimenting with different kinds

 

do they happen to make those angled ones for the dome? i mean if its not angled for the dome, won't it look all funny?

 

nah it lights up nicely, but the wedges in the map lights will light it up even better

 

You're absolutely right. The dome one isn't much of an improvement and looks a tad ricey, but the map lights are the sh!t. I just put mine in last night and I was like DAMN!

 

Yes, they light up real bright.

As for LEDs on the exterior, not worth it. I tried a lot. My next mission is to find better bulbs that will last longer, my brake bulbs tend to go out quickly. I'm looking into PIAAs and a certain line of polarg that is only sold in japan. I'll make a post if i find anything interesting.

 

Full LED upgrade (maps, dome, doors, and L.Plate) from superbrightLEDs....so to answer your question, yes the are VERY BRIGHT.

Looks realy cool. I like your trunk. You have more pics of it? Daytime ones?

 

There has got to be a better place to purchase these locally I would think. Seems a bit pricey for some bulbs once you calculate shipping into it. Doesn't Radio Shack or somewhere sell stuff like this?

 

02cls - what size did you go with, 921 - 9LED? These seem to be the brightest for me.

chriskh - eh its not really something you will find locally, they require built in resistors. plus if you do your research on these kinds of bulbs, superbrightleds.com actually is quite cheap compared to others.

 

Interesting...


LED's me.

 

i'm waiting on a set of wedge LEDs for the 921 socket from japan..

here is a before and after on a lexus gs...

stock


LEDs

 

the maps, l.p., door are 168 (5 led) the festoon has 6 led's and the trunk has 24 leds with a retrofit 168 socket.

 

its really nothing special.

 

Looks real clean, man!

 

where did you get the 168 retrofit w/ 24 LEDs? also, you should try the 4410 LED Festoon bulb, it had 9 LEDs and lit up a lot better than the one with 6.

 

superbright's got 'em...go to the page where you order bulbs, search for 168's..should be the top bulb

 

yup, thanks. i may try fabricating this into the map light.

 

its a very close fit, you could def. make it fit in there.

 

Looks great.

 

this interior's looking real sharp! i would do it, but then i really don't spend much time IN my car, much less at night.

the lights for my gauge cluster need a little help though.

 

could somebody cut and paste the info for the retrofits and 24 led bulb, cuz my dumbass can't find either

And how many bulbs does the license plate thingy hold

 

l.p. is one 168/194 bulb, and the 24 bulb one is at......superbrightleds.com--->type in 168/194 in the search field, its the first match

 

using all the information in this thread I bought new interior bulbs and one for my license plate from superbrightleds.com (I think thats the site, just too lazy to go back and double check while im typing this out).

they are sitting in my room... cant wait to install soon!

 

You actually have to search "194/168" for it to show up, and the product name/number is T10-PCB-W24 White LED Lamp. What exactly does "retrofit" mean? I'm ready to order it, but I'm not sure how i'd go about installing it in the dome. Is there a DIY out there somewhere? Right now I have the 4410 LED Festoon bulb in the dome - it's cleaner looking than the OEM bulb, but a lot dimmer. I want mine bright like yours! I'm sure I'm not the only that's wondering how that 24 bulb circuit board is going to work in the dome light that take a festoon bulb.
