Dome light that is

I just got my leds in from superbrightleds.com to convert mine from incandescent to LED. I went with the replacement bulb route since I didn't really feel like taking my dome light apart and hacking it up. I have the map light version so I would have been hard to go the LED array route anyways.

For the maps I used 2xWLED-WHP9-T 194 type plugins


Then for the center light i used a 4210-xWHP12 festoon type plugin.



Before:


The LEDS:



After:


It doesn't seem to be much brighter(but of course haven't seen it at night yet). At least it accomplishes not having to worry about killing my battery if I leave my doors open for a long period of time which is one of the reasons for the conversion.

 

My dome goes off after 30 min... so it wont kill the battery anyway.

 

one more picture and at night:

 

yeah i think mine will too. I should have said it wont have a very large pull on the battery anymore when the door is open with the truck off.

Next up is the 3rd brake/cargo lights got my component leds in today

 

soooo... much.... light....

 

looks great man

 

Now - I did swap to LED's in mine - but it was for the main focus of having it be just bright enough for my passenger to read a book/map, and not near bright enough to bug me while Im driving - Incandescants were just a tad too bright to be on if your driving.. but I went with soem wedge style LED's with a main one pointing forward and like 3 or 4 to the sides.. alot smaller than stock - the light output is jsut right though!

 

i have the same maplights, they are bright stock... looks good man!

 

thats almost too bright lol....nice though

seems like we're kinda local to eachother too! cool!

 

Hah that reminds me - I never did show what my own LED mod is for the dome light

Here.. uno momento - I honestly think only Shane, and Tre have actually seen it.. one moment.. need to nab a picture outside of it :-D

@Mike, like that mod man, these things can be a lil bit too bright sometimes...

 

ain't it rad? It was probably the best bang for your buck mod I've done.
I got the 921x12's for my dome:

$5.95 for each one and they are plenty bright. I don't have the center light tho
