Thumbs up LED's all around installed

Finally got some pictures of my LED's I got installed. I did the map lights, rear dome light, 3rd brake light, plate lights, & the puddle lamps. I am still thinking about doing the reverse lights too.


I got everything but the puddle lamps from here

And my puddle lamps from here.

These ones did require me to take the reflectors out of the housing, other wise they fit prefect.

Pics are crap but the best I could do with my great knowledge of camera's .










They look 10x better then a normal bulb. Also makes reading something at night easier.

This has been on my list of things to do. I'm just waiting for one bulb to burn out. Any bulb. I just need to an excuse to replace all of them when I should be spending my money on other things.

Thanks guys

They are very cool looking, the plate lights going down the road at night look it would be a Lexus/bmw!

They are also super easy to do as you just have to replace the bulb. The only hard ones are the puddle lamps as the light is sealed behind the lens and you have to cut it off to get to the bulb. But with the help of this thread I got them off no problem and did not break the tabs.

Bad excuse

Where did you get yours from?

I originally bought them from Super bright LEDS's but they did not all match. So I took them back and got theses, which all match prefect...even the puddles match them. So IMO it was worth the little extra $$

i am fixing to order the lights from the v-led link posted above. How do you replace the map lights? i went out there and looked around and from my past experiance i have always just took a flat head and poped them out. i tried that with these but it wasn't working and i got scared thinking i was going to break the clear cover so i stopped. Also i have an fx4 and don't have a "dome light" i have the rails in the roof i'm also a screw. the other lights are in the back for the passenger and are they the same as the front lights?
