Default LED Questions???

Hey everyone, I am planning on converting the factory interior lights to LED's and was wondering if someone could tell me exactly what I need to buy for this project ie Color (to match factory gages), size (5mm?), and quantity of LED's. I am going to be doing the radio, HVAC, DIC, and doors. Thanks for the help

-Joe

A lot of folks get thier LED's from BRIGHT LED'S They are pretty cheap and I've used hundreds from them building and converting door module and center console swaps.

Just need to be cautious when mashing new LED wires into slots where old wires came out - the LED wires are thicker than the original bulb wire and has to be mashed just right to they fit and don't break the socket or when trying to put them back into the door module. (I've done both!)

For you DIY'ers out there, heres a link with a vid on how to do it.

MAKING LED CONVERSION BULBS


Good Luck - let me know if you want some already done. $35 for 8 - for R and L doors and center console w/ swap of your old bulb/sockets.
