Dome light question..
Dome light question..
I gave a pretty extensive search of the forum before I resorted to starting the post just so you guys know... I am searching for a red replacement for the dome light in our cars... I found a few posts about the size and style but I just can't figure out if the ones I found are right or not... I found these http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481 If there are any other ones that are better or cheaper feel free to point me in that direction. And what do you guys think LED or filament bulbs? I read that LED isnt as bright but has some advantages. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Dome light question..
I just las tweek installed 12 SMD LED panels in my dome lights and really like the extra brightness.
I first used light very similar to those, only white. Looked great, but went for 12 LED panels. They will do fine, I think!
I got thumbs-up from everyone that saw them.
If you csn wait 10 days, I've been dealing with this guy, working out of his house in Hong Kong, and have been very happy with his service:

Re: Dome light question..
Thanks for the quick response, but now you got me interested in the 12 LED panels you were talking about hah. Did that require any modifications to the dome light or was it an easy install? Oh and if so can you point me in the right direction to buy some. Also, since i got your attention are the trunk lights the same as the glove box lights? I just bought some red led's for the trunk and it looked like it was the same as the glove box, just wanted to make sure.
Thanks again,
Brandon

Re: Dome light question..
Sorry bud, I did a bit of shopping and couldn't find a single one! I bought these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=320313924537
And just replaced the 194 bulbs with them. No mods. As for the glove and hatch lights, you'll have to do a search on the forum for the proper lengths. I think it can be confusing, but the correct lengths are on here. Somewhere.
Email this "kenneth" guy and ask when more will be available.

Re: Dome light question..
Thanks man those would be perfect if I could find them in red but for some reason nobody sells red led panels. I even emailed that kenneth guy and he said he doesnt sell red led panels because not enough people buy them. Looks like I'm SOL on the LED panel front but those first ones you showed me look like they'd do the trick just fine so I guess I'll go with those. If you could, keep your eyes out for me for any red led panels that you might find, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help.
