L.E.D. Bulb Conversion/Cross Reference List

For the doors, do I want the 90 degree bulbs?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any comments or know what is better on the 90 vs 120 degree LED s for this?

I would go with 120. I've tried both and really couldn't tell the difference.

I just did mine and there are a few dim spots but it looks good none the less.

Everything is pretty easy cake to get installed. Took a few minutes for the dash, otherwise all is good. maybe an hour all together.

So the bulbs just plug into the original light sockets?

Yes

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.

NathanJax is it possible that both bulb sizes will work?

awesome thread! I was just going to post up asking about led's for the interior! THANK YOU!!

Yes, the 42mm wil fit as well, it's just a tighter squeeze and a POS to get in over all. They have the exact same light output...

No load resistors are needed for any of this correct?

What would the load resistors be used for then?

I think those are for just standard LEDs that people purchase to make their own. Or like when blinkers blink fast because LEDs don't throw enough of a load for the truck to see your bulbs are there and not burnt out. From my understanding, the LED's have everything built in ready to go.

I was just curious because I was reading somewhere about a single LED only outputing 3V so that is why they blink so fast or are blown by the truck......that company has 4-LED lights for a little bit more, and this is just me thinking outloud, wouldn't that work better since 3X4 = 12....12V against 12V should give the correct amount of "load" or whatever for the truck to not blow them or anything.........am I right or am I just way off lol

What headlights bulbs (I don't have the money for a HID system, yet...) would compliment the cool white color?

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

Reverse Lights are 3157 right?

 

[ecordell]

Correct. You can also go to www.superbrightleds.com and they have a tool there to look up your vehicle and find what number is for each bulb, then you can x-reference to the right bulb on their site

Or you can go to the sylvania.com website, then automotive lighting, then lamp replacement guide. That's what I would recommend.
