someone said to me recently, how do you find anything with these blacklights
my response, make sure what your looking for is WHITE. or turn on the map lights dumbass. lol

[haks310]

haha that reminds me! I finally ended up doing the map lights....PITA. The bulbs I got from V-LEDs were to wide to fit in, took some drilling to make the holes bigger. I used like 3 different bulbs and all had the same problem.

[AtomicHoe094]

looks sweet.. can any one agree to these specs i have below for light bulb numbers and such??
ashtray- 194
maplight-168 or 211-2

[TahoeGoBoom]

+1 on Haks. lol
oh, and if you get the 5-leds for the doors, they need slight trimming.
which reminds me, i wanna do the rest of my little bs lights. turn sigs, etc, so thanks for those bulb types. lol.
did the map lights all fit in after drilling or did you have to make em fit? like, glued? lol.

all my stuffs from superbrightleds.com btw

[haks310]

Yeah, cluster is 194 for the gauges and all the indicator lights are T1.5s, don't recall how many there is.

They'll fit fine, you'll just have to get a bit wide enough, don't remember what size I used. It's the width that is the problem not how long they are. I would have soldered the lights in though....but I don't know how.

[AtomicHoe094]

tranny 161, isnt that for like the orange light when it tells you what gear your in.?? idk i found it off line.. lol

Whats wrong with your volt meter gauge??

[blueflamed03]

diggin the blue interior pics...

[96ProCompTahoe]

RT- trucks not running so the volt meter is on the bottom.

You should make a thread with high quality pics of the after product and all the Numbers, lock it, and make it a sticky.

even if its not running, if the key is on (which it seems to be since all the other gauges work) the volt meter should read the battery volts. Well atleast mine do. I dont recall on the GMT 400s

[96ProCompTahoe]

when you shut the truck off the oil, water, and fuel guage don't move for awhile. or thats how it is on mine atleast. all he had to do was turn on the parking lights

[TahoeGoBoom]

my issue isnt the voltage, my question is wtf is goin on with my oil pressure. lmao. i thought it zero'd out, guess not. lol.
i need to get better pics. every bulb looks like an off white. really annoying. they look nothing like that... :emotions122:

[haks310]

I'll do a list or at least a partial list of all the interior and exterior bulbs and a quantity of everything tomorrow, on my phone right now so it would be a hassle. See if I can can take some nice pics this weekend also.

Depends what color you wanna go with. A white LED will make the teal pop and shows it's actual color the blue LED will make it a darker teal. I would go with the white LEDs if it were me.

The gear indicator should be a T1.5 but dont quote me. Take a picture of the back of the gauges if you can and I'll let you know.

[AtomicHoe094]

Heres a couple. front and backs to everything.. And the gear indicator has built in LEDs into the circuit board, i can take a pic if anyone wants to see. so no worries on the gear indicator.. idk why i put tranny then??? weird

Hey, now since i have the original HVAc controls in my truck and those are like white face, should i put Blue leds in those??? bucz then it would be a waste is my leds weren't all the same color

[TahoeGoBoom]

I got you with the list haks..
Gaugues- (6) 194s
Hvac- (4) T1.5
Light switch- Neo 4
door lights- (4) 194
floor lights- (2) 194
window/lock switches- (3) neo3, (2) neo4
dome light- (2) festoon 4410 x 9
glove box- (1) 194

i think that covers the interior. minus the individual dash indicators which all tend to be T1.5.

Haks, double check all that for me. thanks. lol

[DJTricky]

lit-up dashes, ceilings, doors and sub enclosures here

lol i was showing the outside bulbs are all 194's in the headlights and stuff, then there is the sub box and such, i can get more pics of JUST the stuff you listed, sorry lol

[haks310]

Wow that looks more blue than teal. I think you can sand it down until you get them clear, that "white face" look. You'll be able to get all your blue LEDs and have them all match.

[foreverfalcon40]

Questions...where are the floor coutesy lights? When I got my only the door panel lights work.

I like to Keep my HAV orange too. To show Contrast in color (from hot to cold), plus when I hit the A/C button I'd like to keep the indicator that the A/C on is Orange. But I want the rest blue. Which one's do I replace to Make the HVAC light up Blue but keep the indicators orange/red?

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

I have an esky clip...What LED can I put in my turn signals to make them BLUE or Red (not sure what I wanna do yet)

[mikeykey]

Whew....take a breath in between questions.....!

I'll tackle one question for you.

Questions...where are the floor courtesy lights? When I got my only the door panel lights work.

If you don't know what your looking for, you could miss them. They are just under the bottom corner of each side of the dash. The mounting plate is almost visible without bending over. The bulbs don't actually go into any type of lense, rather just plug into the socket. I'll snap a pic if you still can't find um.

[Whippled2dr]

It will look like this if you use white LEDs with the 120mph escalade/denali cluster.

thats sick!!! what did you do with the HVAC cluster as well?? blue or white?? do u like your gauges how they are with the white im em?

[TahoeGoBoom]

i have blue in my HVAC and you can still tell the contrast change from hot to cold.

[haks310]

If you have ever opened up you gauges completely you'll see that every indicator is painted a different color...battery is red, turn signals are green and so on. They did this so they would not have to use different colored bulbs for each application and just use white bulbs for everything.

Noooooow, if you wanted to switch the color of something you would be able to. Like FF40 mentioned making the turn signals blue or red. You would have to take your gauges completely apart, remove the lens, needles...blah blah blah. Then you would pry the backing off, the backing is what all the numbers and so are printed on, you would have to turn it over and you will see that the turn signals are green, just sand them down until they are see through, now you can put in blue or red LEDs and you will now have blue or red turn signals.

Yeah, confusing I know. I'll see if I pry mine apart and take some pictures. Is not as complicated as it sounds.

[AtomicHoe094]

i got some pics of mine if you want em, bcuz i know its a pain in the ass to just go out an do for no reason.. but what a waste. lol.. i want the blue flow in my hoe.. i have that blue pioneer headunit so it would all go nice together..

[haks310]

Yeah like on your cluster you have that teal color, you can sand that down till you get it clear and get some blue LEDs and you would be set. You can throw blue LEDs in there but the teal would wash them out a bit

[AtomicHoe094]

no no im keeping mine teal.. lol thats waaay to much work for my gauges.. lol.. and possibly could be a lootttt of trouble.. yikes no thanks!>. haha

[the big blue bus]

looking to do this to mine since about half of the lights are burnt out. i only want to do the guages heater controls and 4wd indicator since thats burnt out, and its dark down there at night. i want to do blue ones and from reading this should i do the blues for the guages or white to get the blue look? also whats the size for the 4wd indicator? i say thats all i want to do now but im sure down the road id do doors and other lights too. radios half burnt out but im getting a alpine headunit so not worried about that.

heres my list. does it look right?
T1.5 Instrument LED bulb x4
WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb x6
what else do i need for the 4wd on floor

[haks310]

Lol damn, way to bring back an one year old thread.

haha sorry didnt want to start a new thread for it. how much did it cost yall to do just dash and heater, cart shows around 30 right now not with 4wd light.

so the 4wd is just 2 194's should i just get same ones as im gettin for guages? they are kinda spendy at 3.74 per bulb.

[haks310]

I don't even remember to tell you the truth.

Yup, same bulbs, 194s

[the big blue bus]

allright thanks. does 37 seem bout right for all of them? dont know when im going to do this project but when i do i want to get all the ones i need at one time and do it right.

[AtomicHoe094]

haha damn, this was an old thread, i was trying to remember if i even made it back in the day lol

haha damn, this was an old thread, i was trying to remember if i even made it back in the day lol

haha i know guys but would you rather me start a new thread :p

[xX Mavr1ck Xx]

I thought that the 4wd had to be soldered correct?

[AtomicHoe094]

haha i know guys but would you rather me start a new thread :p

true true, you a good noob! lol and i thought it had to be soldered too :/ beats me, i dont have 4wheel drive :)

true true, you a good noob! lol and i thought it had to be soldered too :/ beats me, i dont have 4wheel drive :)

well crap then. ill have to take it off one day and check it out, wish it was plug and play but me or my dad could solder a new one in there if neccessary

[haks310]

i only want to do the guages heater controls and 4wd indicator since thats burnt out, and its dark down there at night.

He has a floor shifter, those use two 194 bulbs.

Push button 4x4s have to be soldered in.

[the big blue bus]

yes i do so then its just a plug and play deal? thats what i want to hear

[haks310]

Yes sir.

[the big blue bus]

thank you haks310

[the big blue bus]

apon looking at it today seems im missing the drivers side courtesy light but i have the passenger. so from the thread posted a lil while back those 4 bulbs should be the same ones? and should i get the wled-x5s with 220 degree or would i be good with say the wled-x with 120 degree light or even the 90 degree ones? im not woried about hot spots there so i guess i dont need the wide angle ones and the 120 ones are cheaper by a lot. im going to order new ones of those and 4wd thing for now. will do guages when i do new radio

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Hey Haks what type of bulb is the 4x4 push button???

[haks310]

It is soldered in so you can use whatever bulb fits in there.

[Devious_Tahoe96]

so 194 would be the best bet since their small right??

[haks310]

T1.5 or NEO wedge bulbs are smaller.

But I am sure you can just go to Radioshack and pickup a couple of LEDs from there and they would work.

[jpaeltz]

Nice.

[Devious_Tahoe96]

How do you replace the license plate bulbs?? do you have to remove the bumper??? Thinking of putting WLED-x-x LED bulb UV Blacklight bulb since my license plates are white im thinking it'll stand out. Any opinions on that or should i just use a white led instead??

[haks310]

White.

Crawl your ass under there and check it out. Getting dirty is not a bad thing.

LoL and GM isn't dumb enough to make you remove the whole bumper to replace two light bulbs. Get under there behind the plate..you'll see the two sockets on each side...twist those out and you'll be able to get at the bulbs, simple plug and play.

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Well eventually i'll have to crawl under to replace the bulbs lol but thanks for the help haks

[drowndindreams]

re-did mine just now. i had a breakthrough while doing it lol. some of the bulbs werent working so i had to sacrifice some out of the doors. anyway i also threw in a 8-led light that is used for the dome but can be hardwired into a 194 bulb. before and after pics!

[the big blue bus]

looks much better man! im so glad half of the interior bulbs are the same. i was missing a courtesy light on drivers side and i used one of the corner light bulbs since i switched to clear corners also put the other in the 4wd indicator for now. will do leds eventually once i get exterior the way i want. would like a blue coated 194 bulb look good instead of a led for now?

[drowndindreams]

eh thats more like a bluish white sort of bulb, i remember i bought two of those for my dome lights thinking they would be the same as leds but theyre nowhere near as bright

[the big blue bus]

yea i got them to try em and they arent that bright well i cant ge the bulb on the passenger side out but got the drivers side in. just seeing that lil blue color makes me want to replace all of the lights in the doors too and roof lights now. i want to do the doors with white leds along with the other interior lights besides guages and ac controls. which leds to yall recomend for the doors and everything

[the big blue bus]

would the regualr wled 120 degree bulbs from superbright led work allright for the doors 4wd and under dash? also what bulbs did yall get for the dome lights?

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Yeah the ones in th cluster will fit the ones on the doors, which are the 194 bulbs. The bulb number is 211.

[the big blue bus]

i know they are same size as cluster. im going to get nicer ones for the cluster to avoid hot spots but i was thinking just the basic ones for the spots i mentioned. which bulbs did yall use there

[the big blue bus]

would these bulbs work for under dash doors and 4wd? http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FWLED-x.htm

i want to order them soon and need to know. dont know if i need to buy the wled5s to get a better look. wil the ones posted above look good in doors? they wil only cost me like 12 for all 8 or should i go for the better ones? if i should do better should i get cool white or natural? and would it look good with blue in doors and underdash too? or should i just stick em under dash and do white everywhere else besides in dash?

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Im doing a blue cluster & hvac. The rest are gunna be bright white. If you want to see how it looks i know haks posted up his pics and it looks really good

yeah these will work

[the big blue bus]

are they going to be bright enough? hey are rated at 3 lumens while others are like 10 . dont know if i should buy the cheaper ones for like 11 bucks or the 5 led ones for like 30

[haks310]

Ones you posted will work, no worries.

[the big blue bus]

allright i might go ahead and do em all in the cool white color i have 2 blue bulbs under dash right now and they arent bright but idk if i like that look. it does give it a lil custom touch. also going to order the license plate ones too while im at it i guess

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Ok so im in the hoe right now with my laptop swapping out the lights from the cluster, but how are they supposed to illuminate if the wire from the light doesn't touch the light holder?? i thought it was a plug and play???

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Well i figured it out lol so no need to worry. I got the HVAC lights in, the floor and the license plates. Need to finish up the cluster. Post pic's later tonight since its still sunny here in el paso.

[the big blue bus]

nice man! lookin forward to pics

[foreverfalcon40]

What size for the HVAC? I want to keep the HEAT/Red and the rest blue.

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Ok well here are the pic's of my dash and hvac. Although i thought the middle bulbs in the hvac would show a lil brighter since the outter ones do, im still happy how it came out :imo:



Oh and foreverfalcon40 its the T1.5 for the HVAC
