Stupid question guys, but the reverse lights are the lights located to the right and left of the rear plate, correct?

 

^^^ lol...yes

 

Thanks. So your really running 12 ohms on each switchback, correct?

Okay, I might be confused or might be right, but please help me out...
here is what i'm ordering...

2825 - Qty 4 - for Ceiling Dome, Trunk, and Vanity Mirrors
168/194 - Qty 3 - for License Plate, and Doors
921 - Qty 1 - for Reverse Lights
H8 - Qty 1 - Fog Lights
D2S 5K - 1 - Headlights

I haven't ordered them yet, they are on my cart, is this correct or am i off on the qty?

 

can you fit 36 led boards in? i have heard of 30's i really want to get 36's

 

In the domes? I am sure you could the 30s fit with tons of room to spare.

 

Why are you ordering 3 for the license plate and doors? I believe they come in pairs, and the license plate requires 2 bulbs as well as the doors. Unless you want an extra pair?

 

ok, so i only need 2 for it? what about everything else?

 

I made a post back on page 3 with my current setup, refer to that:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=116

Also you can substitute some items like say 30 LED panels for dome and map if you want a crazy bright setup like Trew. Mine is a more conservative interior setup.

 

hey guys i was wondering if i can get some help here, i ordered 2 v-leds 6 led m-smt flank bulbs 194 168 158 2825 to be exact... i dont know where i can place these cus i tried all the domes, vanity, trunk light etc. i was wondering if these flank bulbs fit? and also i have the 74 smt for the center console and glove compartment, i was thinking i needed the bulbs -_-

 

The flanks will fit in your map lights. As for the 74 bulbs not sure what you are asking I have the same ones in my center console and glove compartment.

 

how do you get the bulb open for the armrest compartment and what bulb size is it, i pulled it out but dont see how to open it

 

Bulb size is a 74 and once you pop the white cover and pull it out just twist the side where it goes in like 1/4 rotation and the bulb/socket/wire part will come out.

 

What led should you get for rear turn signals?

 

anyone like the H8 Leds with stock lows??? I want to order brighter fogs and lows down the road...

 

I just got out of work and extremely to lazy to read the whole thread but what kind of lights do I need to put on the inside bottom of my doors. I wanna light up the ground when I open the door.

thats what i have

 

Thanks for the help. You got any pics of how the look at night ?

 

I do not...not yet at least

 

I have the same ones as woot. Here are some pics, not at night though. I can tell you at night are when they really shine. No pun intended.

After:


You can see all the LED swaps I did in this thread:

Hope that helps!

 

Yea man that was a huge help. I love how the light is white now instead of yellow. I ordered them last night.

Thanks.

 

Might be a little late but, a word of advice on the lower door bulbs. Get the smallest/shortest bulb you can. If the bulb is longer you'll get a more pronounced "hot spot" through the lense.

Tried to link the ones I used but the site isn't loading right. You'll still get a hot spot but the shallower the bulb, the less it will be.

 

Yeah for the door bulbs I like the ones I am using, they disperse the light pretty well. Here is the link to them:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...81039-1-2.html

You still get somewhat of a hot spot but it is less pronounced than the ones that fire straight forward only.

 

^ Those are what I should have went with.

I have these. I like the idea of having the led's firing in different directions for that location though. The bulbs I have work well but I think the ones you got would be a little better.

 

Ok guys, I got my lights today and installed all of them except for the vanity lights because I could take the plate off.

Any tips on how to remove the damn plate? I looked in the DIY section and came up empty.

Thanks

I ended up removing the metal plate and light box out of the headliner by accident. Was able to get everything back in luckily.

 

I just installed leds throughout my car last weekend. Only tool I used was a standard butter knife. Just slip it in from the right side of the light (on drivers light) between the cover and metal braket and pop it out. Only light that really gave me some trouble was the trunk light, which I needed to pry open with a flat-head.

 

Received some leds today and installed them earlier.

I got these for the doors

And I got these for the reverse lights

Sorry for the cellphone pics. They look more blue in the pics and I was also under a street light but in person they are white.

I wish the door lights where brighter so I may be changing them in the future.

 

I gave up on the vanity lights. I tried everything and was only damaging the lens and metal bracket in doing so. I'll just use the the lights for back-ups.

 

Try COMMANDER15, it always works for 15% off. You guys who can't google a discount code are schmucks!!!! An extra 5 minutes gets you an extra 5%....

 

Can't believe you'd ask that.

 

how good is the life of thse LED's?

my license plate lights i put them in i think it was august last yr and one of them is out(not sure how long its been out)

2 HID WHITE HIGH POWER LICENSE PLATE LED BULBS 194 168 158

these are what i used...

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481133.html

 

I started replacing my stock wedge bulbs with V-LEDs. Here's the difference between the stock and 30 LED board light.

 

You can do it man just pop the whole metal bracket out. I bent the crap out of my metal bracket when I took my first one out but you can fix it with some pliers and put it back in and it looks perfect. I thought I was destroying my visor the first time I tried it haha, but it turns out fine once you pop the metal bracket out you can get it back in no problem just adjust the tabs until it slides in easy but still stays in.

And are there any code I can save more??

 

OK, so which bulbs are good for signal lights?

I'm deciding which of them are good for rear turn signal. [thanks]
