Installed Blue LED interior lights

Just got these installed the other day the pictures kinda look like crap. ill get some better ones soon but these will suffice.


they are the 9 LED's per bulb. very bright even though the pictures dont look so. (bad camera settings) i have them in all 5 sockets in the car. very bright. i can see them clearly through 20% tint when i unlock the car. they are blinding when you try to drive but they look awesome. Tec-Toyz.com Brian is very willing to work with you and responds to emails very quick and easy to work with

im thinking of going with the white LED's in my map light and keeping the rest how they are. the super bright blue hurts my girls eyes so im thinking of maybe just the passangers side with the white.

i think that the blue dome light is a must but the map lights and the door lights are just for show. but the blue dome light looks incredible.

No you can not buy these types of led's at circuit city or BB or autobarn. Your best bet is the internet.....My advise to you is w/ led's don't go cheap....You get what you pay for in my opinon. LED's are funny they sometimes burn out or flicker. But at www.Tec-Toyz.com from my experience if you have any problems you can send them back to him and he will replace them free of charge lifetime warranty..Other companys which may be cheaper give you a hard time about replacing the bulbs.

VVV this one is taken from under the open drivers door facing the back of the car didnt come out good. looks really dim but it really lights up the whole side of the car. (camera focused on the brightest part right under the door)

Thanks...I'm thinking of getting:

2 White LED's for the Map Lights.
3 Blue LED's for the Doors & The Dome Light.

(Maybe 1 More Blue LED for the License Plate)


What do you think of this combination?

i think that would look good im thinking of changing out one or both of my map lights to the white. sometimes its just too blue. but ya i think that would be real nice looking the liscense plate light and the trunk light would look good IMO.

Just make sure that blue is ok on the license plate for your state because you could get pulled over for it. Also did you see they have UV lights to! but only in 6 led form factor.

I wouldn't do blue led for your license plate. Especially if you have tints or something....your just screaming for Police attention. Try the hyper white 9led...not illegal and still has a slight blue tint

ok now im getting a little confused. I was looking at the other thread about brightness and now have new ?'s...

ok so the dome bulb in the 99 tl is that 39 mm or 31 mm....tec toys only has 39 mm w/ 6led so i thought it was 39 mm but then i went to the little compatibility chart site and it says D3175 is the model, and on another site..i think superlumination.com shows that the 3175 is under 31 mm....what is it? 31 or 39?

also in regards to brightness i want a blue dome light but im thinkin the 6LED wont be bright enough and ppl in the other forum were leaning towards just a blue bulb from superlumination..what do u think Rpappi? dont u have the 6LED in the dome?

thanks, NICK

I installed the blue LED lights and all of them work except the front passenger door side. I replaced the fuse, but still no luck. Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help will be appreciated.

the dome light is the one in the center of the car on the ceiling. and the map lights are the lights inbetween the visors infront of the sunglasses holder.
