opboarding

I had it on mine for a few months and didn't notice. Then when it started peeling a little I realized it was just a protective layer and was supposed to come off.

They took it off mine before I got it too, otherwise I'd have left it on. Looks cool + protection.

I also installed my exLED! They are awesome. Like 'em so much I now look forward to night time! Lol

Couldn't be happier with the results an ease of installation...

Don't know about the other brands but these are definitely a great set !!!!

Just did my LED install this afternoon. Did the domes and doors. Black interior.










Tell me what you guys think.
Got the LEDs from superbrightleds.com

Colorwise I think a nice white would've looked nicer! But to each their own! The blue is pretty bright that's for sure! But doesn't really do anything when it comes to giving off useful light lol

I just use the mirror lights if I need the white light.

FYI get 20% discount from exLEDusa

About to order the exled 5000k setup but was wondering if anyone got the clear lens and what is the purpose? Diffuse the light? And this is only for the map light? Should I get the lens cover or don't bother.

I have 5K and didn't bother w/lens cover crap and they look great

TSXy Luster

Ditto.

ejongjin

It magnifies the lights?

advaivce

Does anyone know where I can see a comparison of the 5k vs 6k license plate from exLED?

Seems like a lot of members here have bought the 5k pure white.
Anyone have pictures of the 6k cool white for the license plate?

advaivce

Would this be most similar to 5k or 6k from exLED?

5000k
But mine have a slight blue tint to them. Cheapo China stuff lol. exLED ones should be pure white.

aLittleFavour

you can buy a kit with everything you need (minus the mirror vanity lights) for about $22 shipped on ebay

ejongjin

That looks like 6000K

I seem to have to change my license plate LEDs every 3-6 months. I got them from the same batch as all the other interior LEDs (which haven't needed a single replacement)..

Can anyone recommend some long-lasting LEDs to use for the license plate?

soupi

It seems my driver curiosity light dosn't work, any suggestions?

Also looking for a really bright license plate light... Can you guys post some pics please...

Thanks

cu2wagon

What's a "curiosity" light?

soupi

I meant driver side door "courtesy" light.

cu2wagon

Ah!, that makes much more sense.

But I have no idea. I'd start at the bulb and then work back up the harness. Obvious possibility is burnt out bulb. It's credible that the wires going through the door are chafed or broken.

Do you have incandescent bulbs or LEDs? LEDs are sensitive to which direction they're installed. Flip them and see if it works.

Otherwise, it's just going to be a troubleshooting crap shoot.

I used these Sylvania bulbs in my TSX and RDX. Not cheap but haven't changed them in 2 years.

alexbenz

do they sell led's that aren't as bright for the interior? i have the 6 led ones but there still bright...I like the color but the brightness is too much for me

Harper

^ your only options are blue incandescent bulbs(dunno if they exist), or wiring in some resistors like opboarding did.

opboarding

Yep, I wired in a small resistor (120kohm or 470kohm I cant remember) that came with some random individual LEDs I bought. Worked like a charm.

alexbenz

did that dim them?

opboarding

Yeah. The larger the resistor the more they will dim.

alexbenz

do you have a picture of how it looks? did you have to solder it?

opboarding

I don't have any pictures. I wrapped it up in electrical tape once I was finished so it'll be too hard to show you now. Yeah I soldered it. Just pick one of the two wires coming out of the LED board and cut it, and solder a resistor between the cut. Then wrap it up with electrical tape afterwards. A generic example is shown below.

alexbenz

so the diode and the wires just go to the bulb not the wiring of the car? sorry but i need to be careful with wiring...i've been shocked in the pass with some projects i've done, lol

opboarding

Assuming you got the board type like I did then there should be wires coming out of the board. If there aren't there you cant dim it. See picture below, cut one of the wires and solder on the resistor.

alexbenz

i have these

opboarding

Welp, you can't dim those. Just put some electrical tape over a few of the diodes to dim it.

alexbenz

then i might just get the ones you have the smd board...i have a 48 smd board for the trunk and it's bright which i did on purpose.

V-tecAc

Has anyone done a foot well / courtesy light mod?

I was thinknig of doing led strips that have 12 leds in each
so drawing more current, i was thinking the 7.5 amp circuit could handle it

iCrap

yeah a bunch of people have done it.
For me, the blue light is bright enough after removing the plastic lens thing
