I crawled into the footwell today and low-N-behold you can use the same 194 bulb that you would put in the door lights.
Almost done with my interior LED conversion,all that I have left is the cluster.

I just ordered mine, the only difference I found was that I couldn't find the "Festoon 42mm 4210-xHP6 High powered bulbs" for the puddle and domes, but did order the 4210-CWHP6; so I assume they are the same.

Here is the breakdown of the cost:

WLED-x-x LED bulb Options: 120 Degree Cool White WLED-W-x 0.60 $ 1.39 X4 = $ 5.56

WLED-x6 LED bulb Options: Cool White WLED-CW6 0.95 $ 3.74 X 4 = $ 7.48

4410-x9 LED Festoon bulb Options: Cool White 4410-CW9 2.25 $ 4.74 X 4 = $ 18.96


4210 High Power LED Festoon bulb Options: Cool White 4210-CWHP6 7.00 $ 14.95 X 4 = $ 59.80

Merchandise sub-total: $ 91.80
S&H (priority mail): $8.15

Grand total: $99.95

I decided to go ahead and order 2 additional of the 194 WLED in case I wanted to do under the dash, so add $3.00.

I'll post when I get them to let everyone know actual handling and delivery time.

Recieved my lights yesterday, so from time to order to arrival was 4 days. Took me less than 10 minutes to put everything in. Here are a couple tips (some of these may be repeats of earlier posts)

Cargo lights: for the middle light use a flat tip on the driver side, there is a small slot to insert the screw driver that then opens the plastic covering and it will actually hang on its own. Replace all three lights there then snap cover back in place. For the rear cargo light, the slot is on the passenger side.

Map lights: I used a very small flat tip to pop off the plastic light cover; then gently pulled out the metallic cone around the bulb. I found that when installing the LED, put it in the metallic cone and insert as one; then pop plastic cover back on.

Door lights (4): use a small flat tip to pry them out starting on the red part of the light housing (nearest to the outside of the door). Pop it out starting near the red and then once that is out slide the fixture toward the outside of the door; light replacement is then simple. You will see that when re-installing, put the end with the light in the door first, then snap the rest in.

Puddle lights: these are the lights under the outside rear mirrors. They snap out, starting with the release (located toward the front of the vehicle) and then I used a small flat tip to pop out the rest of the light. The light is connected via two wires that easily unplug. From there unscrew the two phillips screws and the light pulls out. Now the tricky part. The bulbs that will go in there have a rectangular shape to the "light" portion of them. This rectangular portion is wider than the opening of the light housing. So, you have to tilt the light a little bit to get back in the housing, and then once it's in I used a bent paperclib to re-align the bulb so that it faces down (and therefore not tilted). Put the screws back in, re-attach the wires, the snap back in starting with the rear of the housing first and your done.

Overall - a MUCH cleaner look with the cool white on the inside of the vehicle. The biggest difference though is the puddle lights. They are freaking bright and really look great.

I also put two bulbs in under the footwells, which took all of 2 seconds.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.

LEDs not bright all the time..

yeah they are 194 bulbs.


anyone know why when i open the door the front map lights are bright. at night when you turn them on pushing the button they are so dim you cant barely see. same thing happends to all the map lights. but when i have the stock bulb in the middle map light. i turn that on and the front map light goes bright again. weird. any ideas?

Mine do this too. Anyone have clue why it does that? If I open my vanity mirror, they brighten immediately and don't dim any more.

when i put the leds in my cluster, my service engine soon light doesnt appear anymore.. And help with that? I didn't bump the conector or take them out.. Now sometimes it does come on, however for the most part it stays off.

I was wondering if you guys think these http://www.jcwhitney.com/back-up-bulb-50-watt/p2003659.jcwx?filterid=c2834d773y2001j1 would be bright or if leds would be brighter for backup lights thanks

which LED bulbs to get if I want to replace the cluster/dashboard/gauge lights for an 03 tahoe?

 

[markesq]

Changed them all out. They look great.

Any idea of what bulbs to use for the DRLs and the reverse lights?

I was thinking the 3157 LEDs here, http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-...ispPage&Page2Disp=/tail-brake-turn.html#a3156, but can't decide which ones for the DRL.

You can't replace the bulbs in the 03+ clusters or any of the dash switches without soldering involved. Its a very tedious process, I've done it before. Just ask Tahoewhat, I did his 2005 Tahoe. I did his cluster, AC controls, pwr lock and window switches, and every other switch that lights up at night.

 

[solored]

What all can you change in the dash of the 02 yukon? a/c controls too, and door window locks?

I did the full LED conversion this week...very sweet!

One recommendation I have is to substitute the 4210-xHP6 for the 4210-xHP3 instead in the domes...the HP6's are CRAZY bright (perfect for the puddles) and the HP3's are perfect IMO.

For the door panel lights, pry on the red side of the light and pull tward the outside of the door. The light is on the inside end of the door. Dont pry on the lens get behind it. I used a pick set to get mine out.

So looking at the superbrightleds site I can't find the festoon 42mm-xhp6 (the flat 6 LED) but there is the 42mm-xhp12 but it's round so you only have 3 or 6 LED's (if you aim them right) aiming down for the puddle lights, would it be better to have the smaller 3710 flat 6 bulb for the brightness or would one of the cheaper round non high power 42mm or 44 bulbs be fine for the puddles? Not after crazy bright but don't want it having less light than the regular bulbs I have now!!
Also, the same question applies to the dome lights, I've heard that the 3710 bulbs that some have gotten are bright but a little small for the socket, has anyone done just the 4211 (6LED) or the 4410 (9LED) or their dome light bulbs? Were they bright enough when the doors open? Just not wanting to order all of this stuff and go backwards in the brightness in the truck, I want it brighter than the stock bulbs I have now!
I really do appreciate this thread, alot of info and research done already for us, just hung up on these few bulb choices!!

I still need to do this.

 

[Warrior14]

i wonder why they didn't put any lights in the rear doors?

They did on my 2001 hoe ls.

Bought them as per your list, putting them in tomorrow.

What ones did you buy for the puddle lights and the dome lights, couldn't find the exact ones that were listed in the beginning of the thread? Also, let us know how everything worked for you!!

They are the very first ones under the title "High Power LED Festoon Bulbs." In that area, they are the 4th tab in, "4210-xH." Click on that tab, then select "see prices & buy" and its the 6 LED one.
