how do you install the license plate lights?

From behind the plate... Just twist to unlock... SUPER easy...

How do you pull off the covers for the puddle lights? I started to pop one off and it seemed like pushing in the tab toward the front of the vehicle wasn't enough to release tension on the housing, or should I just force it all the way off from that side? Anyone have pics of the drl led bulbs at night? I'm just wondering how ricey it will look I may just leave my amber bulbs in to prevent a possible traffic stop.

they should come out with a little bit of twisting. i pushed mine all the way in and kinda pryed down at the same time. Then you have to wiggle it out. IIRC the bulb housing is too big to pull straight out

I have a question about converting tail lights to LED's

will changing the regular bulbs for LED's in the stop tail light and turn signal make a difference if the Led's are not as bright?

Also for the turn signal do I need to install a resistor as well?

and finally which are the best LED bulbs to use? the 360 degree light ones or the straight one's?

Thanks in advance

should of checked the forum first, i just spent last hour taking out lights measuring and trying to figure out which ones to get and here it all is layed out perfect for me even from the same site, great write up!

Thanks for the write up. Those of you that have bought all 10-14 LED bulbs how much did it cost you? And I think I'm gonna do the complete interior in UV blacklight. I think it'll look pretty sick...

I just installed cool white LED interior lights in my wifes Denali tonight. I bought the ones listed in this thread and it worked out great. I have a yukon denali xl so I had to buy 1 extra 37mm 3710-xHP6 festoon bulb for the rear dome light in the hatch area. My truck has 3 dome lights. You might want to add that to the sticky.
Here are some pics:

does anyone have pictures of red or uv blacklight ? im trying to decide if the 90ish dollars is worth doing this ...

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Another light I havent seen anyone talk about replacing is the vanity light in the visors, has anyone considered doing this?

 

[brucebly]

I replaced the vanity lights to blue and I love them. Just do a search for vanity. They look like the tube like fuses.

Ahh decisions decisions....all black interior now, what color to go with ....prolly just plain ol' bright white

What did u guys use for the footwell lights???
Any ideas?

 

[Big Motion]

For the doors, all you have to do is pop the plastic light itself out. No need to tear apart the door. Takes 2 seconds.

For the map lights, you should see s little sliver of plastic missing where you can put a flathead screwdriver and pop it out.

on the map lights, after you pop out the lens whats the best/safest way to remove the bulb?? pliers?? i definitely can't grab it with my fingers!

NathanJax .. excellent writeup, however, need to do a correct .. the size of the festoon bulbs are not 37mm .. they are 42mm .. that is what was installed in my 2002 Tahoe.

Great write up, helped me out alot. Thanks. But I am with Lordgeek here, I followed your instruction and got the 37...wish i had got the correct size and went with the 42.

First off the 37 is way too small, i had to mash the connectors together or else the bulb moves around. I have an 01 suburban so I had to get more lights than listed but my dome all the way in the back....I am having to pop that cover off every other day to get the light to come on. IMO people should stick to the 42's and not the 37's....but thats just my .02.

Thanks again for the write up.

Also has anyone had problems with there dash Led's? I installed some a month or so ago and already had to replace one.
