Is the trunk light the same?

 

Trunk light is a festoon style bulb similar to the license plate bulbs, not a 194.

 

36 mm Festoon, I believe.

 

The lights have been solid and I have not noticed any issues with heat as the LEDs should be using less wattage compared to a regular bulb. As long as you get the right base for the LEDs, you should not have any kind of issue with flickering.

 

Itsky, very nice writeup.
I swapped mine out for a pair of 12 SMD white panels. When I did, I found that if I removed (pulled stright down on) the little diffusers inside, it revealed the lamps and I did not have to remove the whole fixture.
Just an observation.

 

I just ordered mine.

 

Mine Too

 

I just ordered two of the blue domelight LEDS to match my radio and illuminated door sills.


I couldn't find these on the site, however. Which ones are these?


Quantity: 2
Product: Twist-Lock T10S-TW $1.19 (each)

If you are using SuperbrightLEDs.com you will figure out which connection style you would like (ie 194) and then figure out how many LEDs you want and find the corresponding model, then in the drop down box, you can select colors such as the blue you are looking for.

I had 6 LED bulbs in each of my map lights and I just replaced them with 'cool' white, which is very similar in color to a 6K HID bulb - nice, clean light. I thought the blue looked good lighting up the silver accents, but think the white bulbs are much more classy looking. Unless it is something like Frank's roadster. I put blue bulbs in his maps and changed the license bulbs to cool white and it looks GREAT, but his blue lighting accents are everywhere, including lit sills and windscreen.....

 

Max, I tired that the first go around and I couldn't get the light bulbs out through the hole. They were lost on top until I figured out how to remove the fixture.

If you can get the lights out just right, then you won't have to take the whole assembly out, but I have big fat fingers!

 

Gotcha' bud. Mine aren't exactly "Surgeon Quality" either. I wrapped a layer of electrical tape around the tips of a pair of hemostats and just yanked!

 

Nothing like a simple install of map lights to make me feel totally idiotic. The first bulb and base went in fine, the second one wouldnt twist in correctly. I ended up just for the hell of it trying to use the stock bulb base w/ the LED and it worked; just slipped right in and everything is working fine. Was this a good idea? I dont really know what bad could happen, just wondering if I should have stuck w/the new twit-loc bases.

Thanks 'yall

 

I think you will be fine. If it doesn't flicker, all is well.

 

Such an easy mod w/ big Impact. The blue looks great w/ the silver trim and SSB exteior! Crappy cell pictures, but it gets across the look.

 

I got the black lights I think it looks good with the instrument lights on.

Looking great guys!

 

The overhead interior lights fade out when the door closes. How do the LED's react to this? I know LED's are either all the way on or all the way off..

 

The ones I have fade out just like the original lights.

 

Mine fade out just the same as the standard bulbs and dim a bit when the car is initially started.

 

Same here...
