Need help with interior led lights

[Gary crouch]

Can anyone point me to someone/someplace that could convert my 2000 LC interior lights to LED? I probably could figure out the cabin lights but have no clue about the dash lights. Don't have the talent, but have the $$$
I'm in San Diego area
Thanks
Gary

Pfran LEDs sells a package of dome and other interior lights. Check the vendor forum for his info.

You'll have to search a bit for dash light details. There were posts as recently as yesterday on the topic.

You can order the kit from Pfran, and read on here how to do it. It takes less than an hour with only the most very basic of hand tools required.

This was my extensive list for doing the gauge cluster, hvac, and all the lights by the shifter/heated seats what and what not.

The red 4mm is for the hazard light!

I ordered off of super bright LEDs

There are a couple threads on how to do the dash lights yourself. It's so easy even I can do it! And I did for the HVAC lights, gonna wait a bit before I do the speedo/tach cluster only because I'm too lazy to do it right now.

Thanks guys for the help..... I'll try to find the best post on how to change the light out... You have to pop the dash off???
I'll give it a go and hope I don't f it up! Lol

The bulbs list i gave you is comprehensive!

Thanks Chris
I'll check it out.... The dash looks pretty hard to take apart, hate to break something

Does anyone have a complete list of led lights needed to replace every bulb on the dash, radio, heater controls and all on the console? Want to do them all at the same time to get a uniform appearance. A few don't work including the infamous D light, mirror control, antenna and side windows.

Your educated suggestions would be appreciated. May be a list on a web site I haven't found yet.

Can anyone point me to ...

I recommend you get everything you can from @pfran42 , including the LED reverse lights.

When we changed out the bulbs on my son's 2000 TLC, we made a list based on these 2 threads:

LED instrument panel/gauge cluster
AC Illumination​

Unfortunately we didn't save the list after we placed our order.

I replaced my interior lighting with LEDs as one of my first upgrades. The LEDs are almost too bright. I only use 1 to light the interior. I've heard people complain about the brightness of the LED gauge lights. I think it would be over-powering, and unless they are dimmable (no idea), you couldn't dial down the brightness. And personally, I prefer not having the "D" light stare me in the face. YMMV.

 

[DirtDawg]

The LEDs dim with the standard gauge dimmer.

Anyone have before and after pics?

So I recently started replacing all my dash and component lights with LED's (including heat warmers, shifter etc) as many had burnt out. Due to the polarity I tested each as they were installed to make sure they were in the correct orientation. I accidentally arc'd out one of them and I thought blew a fuse. For the life of me I (or my mechanic) can't find a burnt out fuse in any of the panels (2 kick panels and the engine fuse box). Can anyone suggest where I can look next. I know COMPLETELY dumb move but I'm hoping someone on here can help.

 

[djernie]

sometimes fuses blow and it's hard to tell so just change out the dome fuse and see what happens.

Someone had asked for a "consolidated" list of all LEDs in the UZJ100. From my experience updating the dash in my 2000 LC, here is my parts list, with each bulb/part number. All items were sourced from SuperBrightLEDS.com

** I had issues finding polarity for some of the dash lamps and gave up on LED. In those places I reinstalled new 74-LL incandescent bulbs.
** I also kept the D light mod, so you really only need 5 lamps for PRND2L indicator in the dash

Finally, I found it infinitely easier to remove/install the cluster by removing the steering wheel. YMMV
