quick led question

[the big blue bus]

im about to order the leds for my interior. 6 blue for guages 1 blue for 4wd and red for when its locked in 4wd. 8 cool white ( 4 in doors 2 under dash the the license plate lights). will the regular wled ones work and still be bright enough and with thr 120 light angle. dont want to spend a lot on ligts but dont want to put dim ones in or ones that wont light it up enough.

I know these pics are crap but I won't have new ones for a day or so. I used the same bulb. The color was cool white.and am satisfied with the exception of the two under the dash. Since those are open sockets get a brighter bulb for those two. I will upgrade those soon. Judge for yourself. Once again sorry for the bad photos.

sweet those look good are they pretty bright? do you think they would work good in the doors and 4wd thing as well? im going to get cool white for the interior besided guages. also going o change the dome lights for the 4211 ones i think they are. which would you recomend for the under dash ones? im going to put a strip of blue leds on a switch i can turn on when i want

I will get back to later tonight with some more info and better pictures hopefully.

Subbed the thread.

These picture are bad to but not shakey will try again tomorrow night with a different camera if you want, this one is crappy. At any rate all interior and exterior marker were superbrightleds

Here was my order:

Qty | Product / Options | Price/ea | ============================================================ 2 | 4210-xHP6: 6 High Power LED Festoon Bulb | $ 14.95 | 4210-CWHP6: Cool White ------------------------------------------------------------ 20 | WLED-x-x: 1 LED Wedge Base Bulb | $ 1.39 | WLED-W-120: Cool White 120 Degree ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 | EP29L: LED Bulb Flasher Unit | $ 12.95 | ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 | WLED-x-x: 1 LED Wedge Base Bulb | $ 0.79 | WLED-A-120: Amber 120 Degree ------------------------------------------------------------ 6 | 74-x: Wedge Base LED bulb | $ 1.19 | 74-W: Cool White


the 74 wedgies were installed in the hvac head for illumination and a/c-recirculate indication (polarity sensitive)

WLED-A-120 were installed as the front corner makers


4210-CWHP6 were used as the dome lights. the second set of pictues were with the cover lens removed(I like better) They are the brightest festoons they have.

WLED-W-120 were used in dash for instruments, rear plate, doors, pivoting reading and front floor. I was in a hurry to get a different look but will make some changes in the near future.

For floor will do WLED-WHP18-SP $15each. being open sockets they should fit and make the front floor look like a bomb flash

reading lights WLED-NWLX #10each bright but still directional for less distraction to others.

front markers WLED-AHP9-T $12each I think the lens has an internal reflector to take advantage of a 360 bulb

doors and rear plate don't seem to have reflector and are installed from front pointing to the rear the only on side lighting bulb that would be perfect are WLED-xHP6-RAC

unfurtunately only in blue or amber and maybe to long for rear plate enclosures and the socket terminal would have to be one above the other and not side to side because of bulb orientation.360 would work but seems like wasted light.

Also I installed anzo tails and parking led conversions but the backups in tails were still a regular bulb so most likely will convert to 3157-W45-T $25 each. I think hids for reverse take to long to became really effective for short reverse trips. To much?

more: BTW those tails are without depressing the brake pedal

dash will probably stay the same to avoid to much distraction while driving but eventually when I am finished and you open the doors... Yeah buddy.


I have a reverse camera too which will work well together with those really bright 3156 reverse lights.

Like the idea of color coding. wanted to do the same with separate window control, door locks but on the driver door mirror is to difficult to replace lamp, windows and door and window lock may cross leak the bulb color. I wanted to do green for windows, amber for windows lock out and red for door locks. Always exploring though.

Wow I cant believe how bright it is inside your truck!! Those lights really look good and I will have to swap out all of mine before long! Thank you so much for all the info on which bulbs you used where!

You had to use blue bulbs on the door panels and license plate? Otherwise everything else is cool white correct?

 

[SunlitComet]

No only if I upgrade to a side facing only bulb. for doors and plate. maybe they might make them in cool-white soon until then they are all forward facing cool-white at 120 degrees for doors and plate. you will see what i mean when you remove a door light about wanting a side facing for maximum light output.
