Complete Lighting/LED List

[mikeykey]

Nah, I stayed with the LED's but upgraded to the better ones:

I wouldn't waste my money on the cheaper ones I bought first. While I think they look better, they don't compare to how bright these new ones are.

Kool, the IPCW ones right? LoL I had linked you tto hose in your parking lamp thread. Same route I was going to go but decided to go with the dual, color changing LED bulbs instead.

Yep...that's were I first saw them, through your link. I also am going to steal your idea for all white LED gauge lights with white needles. So that makes at least three things (including the lighted top reflector) I stole from you.

For a grown man, I sure do follow you around like a lil kid..............Great minds think alike

Got my LED's in the mail today and started putting them in. The corners look awesome, as do the interior ones.

Couple questions:

1. Is there a way to tell if all the LED's in the gauge cluster are on? These lights are so bright, I'm not sure they are all on.

2. I marked the gauge needles with a piece tape when i removed them. When doing so, I tried to pull them off in the exact same position but think i might have not got the speedo exact. Is there a way to put the gauges back on if you didn't have reference points.

3. What type of 211 dome light bulb would you guys recommend or have used. I'd like to use one of the multi-LED boards, but am not sure if it will fit.

Thanks for any help guys...

p.s. i might have accidentally ordered too many of these: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/White-LED/V-LEDS-HID-WHITE-6-LED-p5168709-1-2.html
If I can't find a use for them, i'd sell them to someone on here for a good deal.

Also, if any one is looking at doing this project, I would HIGHLY recommend using these: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/...LED/2-HID-WHITE-6-LED-LIGHT-p4481033-1-2.html in the door lights instead of these: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/White-LED/V-LEDS-HID-WHITE-6-LED-p5168709-1-2.html

IMO, the panel ones don't disperse the light evenly through the housing, making it look kinda ******.

Also, I would recommend these for the corner lights, due to the multi-angle projection they put out. http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/...te-LED/2-HID-6K-WHITE-SMT-5-p4481039-1-2.html

Just my two cents

Just make sure you don't have any dark spots. I put in two LEDs on different ends of the circuit board then made sure the polarity was correct, then worked my way in.

Once you take the needles off they will never be exact when you put them back on. Would be even harder trying to do it without a reference point. Tape was a good idea. Taking pictures of the gaugewith the engine off and with it at normal operating temp is also a tood idea.

Those circuit boards would be super broght. I am running the ones that have 6 SMT LEDs and they are plenty bright. I would give you the link but I am on my phone at the moment.

Well, i sanded my needles down today and then cleaned the up with acetone. While giving them a final "wipe off", two needles tips broke off. I guess the acetone makes the plastic brittle. Sooooo, its to the junk yard for some needles......

whammeee that sucks man, sorry to hear about your needles, but while your there pick up some denali or escalade ones

 

[mikeykey]

Are they different.....I was wondering if the new ones would fit.....

hey!!! haks 310 what l.e.d did you use for the hvac i only have

3 in mine and does this small bulb comes out the holder?

the t 1.5 l.e.d is too big

 

[haks310]

The T1.5s will fit. Sometimes the bulb and holder wont come out together so you will have to take the bulb out the holder and just replace the bulb. Superbrightleds sells the T1.5s bulbs by themselves, they're 74s
