Also try Sharp Light Innovations - also a forum vendor. Both come highly recommended.

Good luck with the install and please post pics post installation. One small piece of advice is to not over bulb the application with super bright LEDs. I added a set to the door switches and they were too bright and basically distracting when driving at night.

I can agree here! The LED I installed that illuminates the MPH/KPH display on the gauge cluster is so bright it highlights the Check Engine Light icon! At first I thought I actually had a CEL illuminated, but soon realized I didn't otherwise it would have been brilliantly illuminated. One of these days if and when I have the gauge cluster out again I will remedy that.

Thanks for the advice on the cluster lights and the door lights. The kit that I got is for the map, lights, hood, light, rear, cargo lights, and front foot areas for passenger and driver,& license plate, lights I will take pictures of before and after. 👍🙏

C5 led interior
I’ve got the interior lights changed out to LED. The rearview mirror lights were the most difficult ones, I just removed the mirror, because it was much easier to work on. The problem I am having is with the under hood LED light. When the lights time out and go off. The LED under hood goes from bright to half power. If I put the halogen light back in when the interior LED lights, go off the under hood light does go off, drawing 0 V. When the LED light goes to half power it’s drawing 5 V. I’m assuming this LED under hood light is not, does not have enough resistance?

New underhood light led is not working properly. It started full bright, but when the lights timed out to go off the interior lights, go off, but the under hood light goes to minimum power and is still partially lit. If I close the hood, it goes off, but when I raise it, it goes back to low power. I put the halogen light back in and the under hood light works as it should. When the halogen light shuts off, I measure 0 V across the terminals. When the LED light goes into very dim mode, I measure 5 V across the terminals. I’m guessing it’s the low resistance of the bulb?
