I replaced my dash lights to 24v t10 LEDs with 5 LEDs on them. I converted others to LED when I was in there.
Just ordered a 24led panel and two 48 led smd panels for the dome and map lights. All in 24v
I may look at getting some bright ass reverse lifts soon too. I have my eye on some 50W bulbs.
Also looking at some 20" led bars for the top of the bullbar. My options are
- 12 x 10w single row LEDs
- 24 x 10w double row LEDs
- 24 x 5w double row LEDs
Decisions... I think I am going to get other stuff done before I pull the trigger on that so I can be fully set up to bolt and wire it on. Need another bracket for the top of my ARB bar
I am currently running LED tail/brake lights reverse lights and front parking lights. The most impressive ones are the reverse lights and the front parking lights. I also have the dome light converted (very bright! Came in handy in the recent hunting trip!) and ordered the rear cargo light as well at the same time, but the vendor sent me the wrong one. They're sending the correct (smaller one) to me FOC.
One must be careful about LEDs IMO because they sometimes say they're for 24v when they're not. I bought a set for the front blinkers. They blinked a total of 6 flashes and promptly died. I was refunded my (small) money. When they flashed tough, I can tell you these buggers were bright!! Almost like strobe lights!
The reverse light bulbs are extremely powerful...imagine, if you have it, like a Fenix LD10 at full power. Its still not enough in the bush (for me), and that's only because I've tinted my rear glasses to be almost full blackout.
For flashers, you need the electronic flasher module, which I found for only $6.00 or so. The pinouts are revered, so you can't just plug it in, but they are the correct pinouts, so all one needs to do is rig a couple of wires. When I finally get my LED turn signals, at least I will be ready for them.
As a side story.... I also run the Trailer logic circuit, and whilst I had misgivings that the electronic flasher and LED taillight might cause problems, all these vanished. In fact, what was interesting was that the trailer I was pulling, which belonged to my buddy, had a really hokey setup where the ground was a spring clip that had to be attached to the trailer tongue. It apparently grounded on the hitch ball. Well, after coming over the nightmare Lilooet-Pemberton highway and reaching home, I realized that the clip had long lost its spring, and yet the trailer lights were working fine.
Thanks Ih8mud lol
