Ordered LEDs :)

[Ninety5PoloZ]

I ordered as follows......

6-120* white 194-gauges
6-90* white 74-HVAC
6-90* white 4 LED 194-doors and floor lights

I still have to get all of the map lights and the switches, but this will hold my over for now. But I need a new lanse cover for my passengers side rear door. Anyone know where to get one? I found some on ebay a while ago, but can't seem to find anything anymore

This, just the lense cover...

[haks310]

For the HVAC you got the LEDs in the holders correct? Should be T1.5s and they are only four of them. The lens cover you can go and pick up at your junkyard for free, pocket item.

I have a 97 tahoe and it has the twist locks and the type 74 bulb. And there are 6 if I include the circulation button and the AC button. I don't know what the T1.5s are, but I had the HVAC apart already and looked at the bulbs :dunno:

LOL that never happens :stealth: I just wish there was a junk yard with a tahoe or surburban in there. I'll just have to keep looking, but ckresto has them for $25+15 for shipping :( I'm not paying that

Thanks for the reply

[haks310]

Yeah the 74 bulbs are the same as T1.5s...the T1.5s just come in the twist lock socket you are talking about and the 74s are the bulbs themselves. Where did you order your LEDs from?

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Heres a guide to go by that I use alot for all of my cars, but it doesn't include the HVAC :(

Ok I got ya, I ordered everything from superbrightleds I have always ordered from them and always had good luck with them.

[haks310]

LoL I like this list a lot better:

So I am guessing you got the T15.s, you are set then.

LOL yours is shorter, mabye I'll have to edit mine. But I got the type 74 bulbs and I'll reuse the stock twistlocks

[haks310]

Yeah, that Sylvania one is to complicated and mine still covers all of them.

Where are those under on superbrightleds? 12 Volt LED Car Bulbs?

Yeah, heres a link. I got the top ones in white.

[haks310]

Oh okay, got'cha. And you checked the bulbs on the HVAC already correct? Sometimes you will have to replace the whole assembly, bulb and socket together and sometimes you are able to take the bulb out of the socket and replace them like that.

Like my gauge bulbs, they were a whole assembly that had to be replaced so I had to pry and break the bulb out of the holder and bend the wires on the LEDs so they would work. Same thing with the HVAC.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Nope all of the HVAC bulbs are out right now and I have some extra twist locks for my dash lights, I just have to find them LOL And I checked everything out already, just waiting for the LEDs now

Thanks for looking out though, I appreciate it

[TahoeGoBoom]

waiting sux dont it? lol
I was lazy i guess, i just ordered the t1.5s. lol. screw replacing bulbs in the twists. that takes too long.

the waiting is the worst part. thats why i havent ordered anything lately. I'm makin sure my next call to superbright is my last.

Well my twist locks the bulbs just pulled out in my HVAC, they weren't soldered. And 3 of the dash lights were replaced and have twistlocks that the bulb isn't soldered either.

So are you having problems with superbright or just ordering enough so you don't have to wait for more LOL

[TahoeGoBoom]

i've never had problems. one time i didnt get my confirmation email, but i called them and they cleared it up right away.
I'm not sure where you are, but i'm in S FL, so it takes 4-5 days to get here. I'm just sick of waiting. all i've got left is the map lights and 2 of my switch bulbs i apparently neglected to order when i did my switches.
oh, and my license plate bulbs..
see, as you can tell, i keep remembering more. that woulda been 2 orders cuz i cant remember. lol

HAHA I did the same thing, after I ordered them I remembered the liscense plate lights, but I'll be ordering more. Right now all of the lights in the interior are out except the dash lights and the map lights LOL so I need everything, but can't afford to spend $200 on lighting so I'll just do bits and pieces as I can afford it

I'm really not looking foward to doing the door switch lights though, I have a feeling that will be a pita

[haks310]

Those are peice of cake compared to the map lights lmao

Just make sure you do not force them out because they will break......and as you know, they are not easy or cheap to come by.

[TahoeGoBoom]

I looked into the map lights and they didnt seem too bad. I blew my parking lights fuse when i did my window switches. lol. the neo3 didnt wanna go in the drivers lock switch... its still not in. lol. I'll get around to it with the next light batch. lol

[haks310]

The new SMT NEO3 bulb will fit, I am thinking of changing all my NEO bulbs for the new ones they have.

I blew my fuse 3 times doing the map lights lmao

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Why are you blowing fuses?

How are the door switches done? Do you just pull out the bulbs and replace them or do they have to be soldered?

[haks310]

Made bad contact when installing the LEDs lol

No soldering, just twist out the socket and replace it.

[TahoeGoBoom]

I just blew it once. then i didnt realize it blew.. spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the bulb wouldnt work before i realized my parking lights weren't coming on. I got so tired of em i havent ordered my bulbs yet. lol. its been 4-5 months.

[AtomicHoe094]

love how its just the 3 of you involved in this thread.. show offss haah

[mikeykey]

ohh but im following it closely!!!! I breaking down and making the phone call tomorrow to order some too

[AtomicHoe094]

ive been following to, but i dont have enough money to do my whole truck.. and i cant just buy like 6 here and 5 there, i would have to install it in one day : /

[roadrageror]

haha im also keeping a close eye on this too! im waiting on too many things in the mail right now tho..soon enough tho.

[AtomicHoe094]

You still haven't gotten any of that yet? damn id be pissed!

[roadrageror]

very pissed. summers arn't very long here in northern alberta...show and shines are few and far between too...

[AtomicHoe094]

yea i dont blame ya.. its probably taking extra long since your up there right?

[roadrageror]

2357a is what I do need to order tho. Need 8 for the truck and suv. That's the right # just gotta make sure they look clear but shine amber. ..for signal lights/Marker light. Correct?

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Well I got back from my little vacation and had a few things waiting for me.....

LEDs from superbrightleds, testors transparent blue paint for my needles, gauge overlay from APC, and an aluminum overlay for the white gauges.

I'm going to go out and pull the dash apart this afternoon and I'll post some pics up later tonight.

But what bulbs do I need for the door switches and how many are in each one? None of my door switches light up and that has bugged me for a while LOL

[TahoeGoBoom]

3 neo3 and 2 neo4
may wanna get a few extra neo3's as they can be a pain in the ass.

[haks310]

Daaamn, why did I make that LED/Lighting list if you guys are not going to look at it lol

Will be expecting pictures tonight.

[TahoeGoBoom]

same reason i made the DRL bypass that no one uses. they need to be sticky'd. lol

[Ninety5PoloZ]

haha I look at it, but just happened to think of it when I was typing the post.

But the overlay is done and the needles just received their first coat of blue :D

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Ok heres some to hold you guys over until I get them back in the tahoe and make sure all of the lights are in working order. But I think the needles turned out awesome!!! And the aluminum overlay still has the plastic protectant tape on it until I reinstall the needles where they are suppost to be, but I set the needles on to show how they will look.

Here they are

[Ninety5PoloZ]

The rest of the LEDs for the interior will get ordered over the next few weeks and I'll try to do a little write up on the installs if anyone is interested in it. Tomorrow I will be installing the liscense plate, glove box, ash tray, and floor light LEDs as well as the HVAC lights. Then next will be the map lights, door lights, dome lights, headlight switch light, and all of the door switch lights :D

[AtomicHoe094]

looks pretty cool, cant wait to see it lit!

[roadrageror]

Damn nice..cant wait to see more!!

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Thanks guys, it probably won't be until wednesday, I'll be really busy the next few days. But I'll get some pics of the hoe up and the gauges lit

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Ok sorry for the delay guys, I had to replace the ball joints before my guy could align it, but I will probably get it back tomorrow afternoon. So tomorrow I plan on knocking off the roof rack and then cleaning it up and getting some pics for you guys finally.

I got a little climpse of the dash lights tonight when I dropped it off at the alignment shop and they look sick. I actually really impressed with my work this time LOL Now I just need to make another $50 order from superbrightleds and I'll have all of my interior lights finished up :)

[TahoeGoBoom]

welcome to the addiction. lol. soon you'll realize that you'll want more than 50 bucks worth of lights. lol

[haks310]

LMAO yeah, $50 is nothing.

Lookin' good so far.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Oh I know $50 is nothing LOL, but I'm just starting to get into the interior thing, before it was 95% exterior mods and 5% interior mods. Now I'm realizing that I spend more time inside so I like to make that nice too.

But I'm going to start piecing together a system here and there. I'd like to do 2 12" Eclipse aluminums in a custom box with amps mounted under the rear seat where I had it before. And do all Infinity mids and highs, but I don't think I have the funds for that unfortunately :( But for now I'll see how everything goes, and the Camaro needs some attention first so she can come back on the road.

[AtomicHoe094]

lets see some pics!!!!!!!

[Ninety5PoloZ]

lets see some pics!!!!!!!

I'm still waiting on the phone call so I can go and pick it up :( Its taking longer than normal, but the guy is pretty busy and hes doing mine without an appointment. It will be done today though so I will have pics today, plus its really nice here so I'd love to wash the dirty pig LOL

[AtomicHoe094]

bout time. damn.. haha im pumped..

[Ninety5PoloZ]

bout time. damn.. haha im pumped..

Dude these past few weeks have been nothing but problems....first I can't get my torsion keys out which screwed up my first alignment attempt, then I broke a torsion bar crossmember mount and had to order that, then I drop it off and he calls me the next day to say the ball joints are all shot, then I spent 8 hours fighting to get them changed, and now I'm just waiting for it to be finished

Sorry for the rambling post, but the only thing that went good was my LED install LOL

[AtomicHoe094]

ooh boy.. thats no good. hopefully everything works out for ya..

[Ninety5PoloZ]

ooh boy.. thats no good. hopefully everything works out for ya..

Should be good now :D

[Ninety5PoloZ]

Well the gauges look sweet during the day.........but at night not so much :( The over lay fit like crap and hardly any of the numbers line up, and the needles don't light up at all.

So I'm holding off on the pics until I order some 4 LEDs for the cluster and see if that helps. I have the single wide angle bulbs right now and they just aren't bright enough. So I'm going to put the wide angle bulbs in my map lights and get a bunch more LEDs for everything else in the interior.


But does anyone know what LEDs the 4wd switch takes??? It looks kinda stupid right now being yellow and everything else on the dash is blue

[haks310]

Where are you getting your LEDs? from? Get the 5 LED bulbs superbrightleds has, one points upwards and the others radially.

The 4x4 switch will require soldering, so not plug and play, it is a 74 bulb though.

Well I have used the single LED with the 120* veiwing angle in the past and it worked really well, but I need something brighter with the overlay.

Next week when everything settles down I'll order the rest of my LEDs and just get it done.

But the 4wd switch takes just 1 74 bulb? I don't care if it needs soldering LOL its gotta change :D

[TahoeGoBoom]

4x4 is 4 bulbs iirc

[AtomicHoe094]

what the hell does iirc stay for?? freaking see that damn word too many times on here..

[haks310]

IIRC: If I Remember Correctly

Yeah, should be 74s, and it is 5 of them. 2 of them light up when you turn the parking/interior lights on and the other 3 turn on when you activate the 4x4.

Ok so the 3 are for what its in, 2wd, 4wd, and 4 low and the other 2 are just for then the lights are on.

I'm going to leave the orange indicators and just swap out to while bulbs for the others.

Thanks guys
