My interior LED Install **PICS**

[BlizzardX23]

Yup! Finally got $100 worth of LEDs in the mail today!

Pop off clear cover (look close at the side of the cover for a little notch to put a knife tip in)

With the metal shield still in place

Use a knife to pop off the shields

Both metal shields removed

very nice. I want to get some red ones for my red hoe. What do you think? Should I just leave the red for the cluster lights and HVAC lights. and then get blue or clear or whatever for the dome lights?

Looks good, now just gotta see how the blue lights are at illuminating the cab at night. Where'd you order em from/ what size is needed?
$100 isn't too bad compared to the $150-$175 for the Putco kit I tried ordering from stylintrucks but it was backordered and I just cancelled the order eventually.

I saw you should do red through the whole truck!

Red would look pretty cool, especialy when your walking up to it at night and unlock it with the remote and the inside just lights up lookin a little evil, maybe sum red puddle lights if you can swing it. I was thinkin of just a pure white but sum color might not be a bad idea, maybe just keep the overhead lights you can position white incase I need em to be useful instead of just looks

I put mine in and then the wife and kiddo went to dinner the night of. She text'd me and said WTF!! These damn things are so bright I feel like a spot light from a cop car was shining up the car.

Hah, what color were/are you running, i could see where pure whites might be a little obnoxious sum of the time but the regular stock bulbs aren't doin it for me

nite pics??

 

[BlizzardX23]

Its not night time yet...I will though! soon enough....the sun is going down right now

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

I dont think you can do red puddle lights. or atleast the thread that Blizz linked doesnt say there are any. plus one side was fallin out so I super glued it up in there so it would prolly be a ***** to get it out of there now. and now the other side is fallin out... damn sub is makin my truck fall apart!! aahhhh! but Ill prolly never ride without subs. (right now just bumpin my single 12W7-beats like a mofo)

I'll be doing the interior LED upgrade soon.. I need to do dome lights, door lights, and HVAC controls and the column on the left side of the steering wheel.

LED's ftw.

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

although I think heard of someone on hear coloring their bulbs with a marker or somethin to givem a different color.... can you do that?
and one more thing... is there any way to change the color of the green wording for your odometer?

 

[BlizzardX23]

For your puddle lights...they probly werent falling out...it takes a lot of pressure to put them in..I put them in and they held just fine...but actually, if you get underneath, you can see if the clip is expanded all the way for a tight lock or not...you might wanna check...

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

I think it was broken. plus its already glued on one of them

 

[brndns_hoe]

$100??? how much was each one? the last time I looked up prices, it only came out to about half of that

 

[BlizzardX23]

4 of the bulbs were $15 a piece...the rest were fairly cheap

 

[brndns_hoe]

damn in this link they are 4 bucks http://www.ledlight.com/festoon-super-bright-led-light-1-3-4-inches-41-mm.aspx and on superbrightleds.com i think maybe even cheaper...you coulda bought enough for you AND me! hahaha

 

[BlizzardX23]
