I have a 2006 TL and want to put LEDs for my interior lighting. I checked Ebay but there are so many and I want to get the right ones. I don't want ones that are weak and that have a floodlight look to them. I want bright and nice coverage. Hope you guys can help.

Thanks,
Anthony

 

I use V-LEDs for all of my LED needs. I recommend the panel type bulbs---very nice and bright and shine exactly where you need the light. Check out their Facebook site for coupon codes.



Here are the 30LED panels in blue:

 

Those look good. how much did you pay and was that w/ or w/o the coupons. And did you only get them for the front or also the rear.

 

I can't remember what I paid---it was over a year ago! I guess that speaks to reliability.
I used superbrightleds.com for the 9LED bulbs in the doors and rear. I'm noticing flickering in the rear domes, so I will probably replace with the 30LED panels. BTW, they are $16.99 on V-LEDs website now.

 

Thanks, they look good. How was the install with the panel type?

 

You want to keep the panels up off of the plastic diffusers. The fronts have a cutout in the chrome reflector and I just jammed the panels into there. They have held well.
To get the OEM bulbs out of the front domes, make a loop of scotch tape and slide it over the bulb. Press it down to get a good grip on the bulb and then pull it out using the end of the loop.

 

These is what I use

I used v LEDs too, I think it was $70 for all the bulbs minus the vanity and glove box. The code is acurazine, basicly free shipping. If you search there is a thread with all the links for the right bulbs. I used 6 led flanks for the overhead lights and the 30 led panel for the trunk. The doors and back seat overhead lights were 5 sided.

 

V-LED's for the win. Love the stuff I got from there. Had them a year and so far no problems.

 

V-LED it is. I checked out there website and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful future.

 

what about ebay ones? has anyone has problems with those? im planning to get some myself and ebay is significantly cheaper than v-leds and superbrightleds

 

Just wondering also... When you switch to LEDS does it still fade on an off or is it just on/off... all about the ambient you know

 

superbrightleds and vleds are okay... they are expensive for you what you get.

i got these for the door and dome lights

cheap, easy to replace.. they've lasted 4 months so far and not flickering yet. free shipping to if you're in canada/us. just order a bunch of them.

but i haven't had time to retro them into the trunk yet.

 

i just installed a set of EBAY 12LED in super white for my TL. I also ordered reverse light and license plate bulbs in LED. The ebay seller I used was the Power seller from canada. The only issue I am having is I cant get the center console bulb to fit.

 

Here are my LEDs

 

taking pictures of LED in car is very very misleading.

They appear brighter than they look because of the exposure the camera automatically adjusts to take the picture properly.

It is infact brighter and whiter than the stock incandecent lights. Pictures don't really mean anything. other than, what colour it is. You cannot tell the difference between VLED 194 bulb to a superbright led vs deal extreme led just by pictures. the boarded leds will cover more area and will shine brighter due to the fact that there's a lot more leds and it's directional down.
