The dome light in my 98 isn't working right anymore. I was going to make an LED one but I want to see what other people are installing and how they install it.

 

I think Buggman and jp7 are both into LED's. You can do a search and look for LED domelights to start. There are also bulbs you can buy off of site like superbrightleds.com.

 

Buggman makes excellent LED's that fit right into your dome light with Zero modification.
I have a set in my truck and they are super bright and excellent!

 

Well the light that's in there isn't working right. That's why I want led so new led bulbs wouldn't help. I was thinking of rewiring the light But I'm not sure where I can get 5v from to run my LEDs. I tested the dome light and it wasn't even reading. And I'm not sure how to take down the head liner.

 

Search my threads - I am a professional LED retrofitter, I build a 48 surface mount PCB board that fits the ranger dome light, makes plug-n-play LEDs look like a joke. These are for order in you want one.

 

I looked at tht 60 led one and it's pretty sweet but I like to make alot of my own stuff. I think I'm going to order up some 12v LEDs unless I can find some around the house and I'm gonna tear down the headliner and re wire my dome light and cargo light. I'll post some pics if I remember

 

How much, I'm interested!

 

You may have a bad connection in the dome or the bulb may be shot.
Unscrew the dome & check the terminals & screws for corrosion, then check the black plastic screw blocks in the roof to make sure they're not busted.

A "Mustang" dome light is always an option too. Pretty easy to install.

I have plug-in led's that fit all different types of domes & I have led panels for even more light... but it sounds like you're kinda a do it yourself person, so I'd say to do a little experimenting with some pcb's & led's to see what you come up with.

 

I've done an LED retrofit myself in my dome light. I used two LED boards I got from superbrightleds.com and just wired them together then directly wired them into the dome light wiring

Nothing like the quality of Buggman and Jp7, but it works for me
