LED Mod Question
So I know that’s there’s a LED interior mod post already but it’s like 40 pages and is more about the technical aspect of it now…
What I’m curious about is this: I just finished changing out my bulbs in trunk, map, and floors with led’s. I love them all except the floor isn’t as bright as I thought. I believe the problem lies in the fact that the led’s(6 in a cluster pattern) are shining more straight the down as the floor bulb is mounting horizontally rather than vertically. Has anyone found a superwhite led bulb that faces more down??
Thanks!

I was actually going to do some work on mine when I pull it out of mothballs... nascar57 installed some super bright spotlights under his dash that turned out great! He used a holesaw and drilled a large enough hole to fit the spotlight into.
I was going to redirect the light with something reflective and easy. Heck maybe even some aluminum foil would do!
BTW This would've been a perfect post for that Thread...

We'll see what happens on the other thread with George...
But the only way I see the foil working is if I put the piece directly in front of the bulb so that it pushes more light back and hopefully down...?

Cool! Let me know how it works out. If it works as well as I think it will, I'll TRY and make something better with polished aluminum, and send you some too.

Here are the pics I promised of the LED modules I used for the foot wells and trunk.
Gary
Here you get a good idea of how these light the foot wells. This is a single 1w LED module installed in each foot well.
Here is a close up of the foot well.
This is the LED module mounted in the trunk.

I opted to go with the Oznium Twenty Five Red Led Dome Lights in mine. Cut the square holes to fit in the plastic knee panels and glued the light pods in. These are also very bright LED's..
.. They turn my black carpet & mats completely red, as seen in the last pic below....

The results speak for themselves!

I'm not sure it could be any easier or cleaner
