changed my vanity lights to 6 high power LEDs and figured Id post the pics. It hasnt been -that- much harder to take the vanity lights off, now that I think i loosened the clear cover enough after all those times where I couldnt get the darn thing off.

here is the LED replacement unit Im using for the vanity:



and some actual unadjusted pics:








I was thinking of fitting a 24-LED version of these bigger LEDs for my four domes, but they dont fit. So I put them on my brother's Evo X.

Here is a comparo between the 15-LED unit I bought for $45 from Super Autobacs and the 24-LED unit (it has bigger LEDs than the four 24-LED units I currently have in my domes). notice the puny yellow LED modules on the 15-LED one, versus the bigger LED modules on the 24-LED.



and a pic where I did an actual comparison of a filament, the 15-LED and the 24 LED in the Evo:




does someone have extra sunblock?

 

Wow, those are sweet. Nice mod........

 

Bright! eh I don't know how to take off the vanity light cover. It seems like I'm going to rip the headliner off. I gave up trying. You and your interior led fetish.

 

oh boy, he's at it again

 

lol blinding..

 

Nice Patrick! They're bright as heck!

 

Holy crap man... That's awesome!
With all that lighting in your car I bet we can roast some marshmellows.

 

Looks really good. Those LEDs look like they're from Lumimicro.

 

thanks guys!

hopefully i can make it to some upcoming local meets so i can show these in person

 

i hate the vanity lights, but like i said, i think ive bent the plastic already to the point it just comes off easy now. must be after all those years of trying and cramming it with a big flathead screwdriver

 

nice mod...looks real good

 

How the heck do you get these off I was trying to do mine and it feels like the headliner is gonna rip off, I swear I hear stuff ripping in there lol

 

Ok so there is like headliner | metal sheet | plastic do I put the screwdriver in between the metal sheet and plastic?

I assume so right I did this and the metal sheet just starts bending. I am using what I think would be the perfect tool it is like a miniature crowbar that is like 5 inches long.

I dunno goin back out to mess with it some more. These things are a real PITA.

 

oh damn those are bright...

 

Girls who use my vanities say my 12LED vanities are already too harsh and bright.....those must be insane at night, lol. It'll paralyze your pupils lol.

 

Forget the light upgrade, where did you get that crazy rearview mirror?

 

How did you mount the panel in the fixture? I'm going to put a 30-led panel in my trunk an I would think the mounting would be similar. Thanks!
