Just another satisfied customer! I have been wanting to do this for about 3 years..... Man Im an idiot for waiting sooo long.

One of things I did not realize is all of the light assy's were hot as a mofo with the old bulbs in there.
So Im doubly happy with this mod ( all interior ) done.

FYI, I received two bunk LEDs from autolumination.com. I'm assuming they will replace them, but I did have to pay for shipping for thier return.:confused:

They were replaced and I upgraded my two domes to 48 light arrays (like treerootco), and kept the map light the 36 light array. I also swapped out my door lights.
 
Furthering the addiction to new lighting after finishing all the interior lights and HIR's in the H and L beams, Ive ordered LED brake/turn 32 light arrays, and LED marker lights.

If I would of known the benefits and value (to me) of improved lighting, I wouldve done this sooner.

Going through the catalog and seeing all the monster upgrade arrays like the previous poster mentioned (48 light array!) really makes you think about it. That big array should not only light the truck up but maybe the surrounding area! :D
 
Replaced 2 dome light with the LEDs from ebay motors from OP recommend and map light from superbrightleds.com. No door lights on my '94. They definitely produce less heat while on which says they're drawing less from batt. - Could be brighter, but I'm happy with the reduced current draw and peace of mind when door doesn't close or I forget and leave map light on.
 
Hey I picked up one of these from autolumination

Bayonet
Item# 48 Led SMT Array , Color: Cool White , Lens: Square Ba9s

However whenever I put it into my map light slot, it fails to light. The light bulb I took out will still work though.

Trying to find a 12v source to see if the LEDs would light, I used my cig lighter :D blew a fuse but the LEDs lit for a second.

Any easy way to test to see if the LEDs still work using a 12v source other than going to school and hooking up a DC power source?

Also, any thoughts on why they didn't work in the map light socket?

I'm pretty sure that they are polarity sensitive. You might have had it turned the wrong way the first time.

x2. They definitely require the proper polarity. I also had two arrive DOA.

Murf, which tail lights did you go with? Did you replace the entire housing or just the bulbs?

The arrays are nice. They do light up the neighborhood, but still have a negligible draw. A buddy installed the festoons, and they just didn't put out enough light for me. The arrays are great for finding something the kids dropped/lost, or just finding a piece of gear during a camping trip.

I must be blind as I don't see the WLED-X6 series bulbs on superbrightleds.com anymore.

SUBER BRIGHT LEDS

Anyone?

I went ahead and ordered the dome lights & map light bulb. I went with the warm white ranges for best output. I also picked up second map light bulb in amber to try out for comparison. Stage rally navigation has shown that red lights don't upset the driver as much at night. I'll try and take comparison pics.

You are correct the listing is a little different for the door lights.

You will find it under the Mini-wedge automotive light listing under "WLED-R6". Hit the drop down screen for options. I picked the cool white "WLED-CW6".

Hope that helps!
 
just wanted to chime in that I received bulbs. Sadly the warm white bulb for the map light didn't work. :( but the extra amber one I ordered to try for that spot does work. :)

I'm pleased w/ the output and color of the warm white.

The amber is nice in the dark, but during dusk, etc it's a little lacking. Here's to hoping they'll send me out a replacement free of charge, but they are cheap enough.

Of course after all this, one of my door switches decided to die tonight :(


I'm planning to order some bulbs for the doors (in warm white) now and think I'll pick up bulbs for my E36 as well.

Thanks - Jon

Might try some contact cleaner and a little cleaning for the door switch.
 
I bought some of the WLED ones from superbright and they were not that impressive. So I ended up getting one of these for my dome light and it is stupid bright.

Up side is they are cheap and bright, they fit well with double stick tape and come with an adapter for the OEM bulb. Down side is you have to wait 10 days for them to arrive from china.

White 12 SMD LED Car Interior Dome Door Light Lamp Bulb:eBay Motors (item 160327046895 end time Nov-04-09 00:10:13 PST)
