Default Interior LED's w/ Pics

I know there has been other threads on this...just wanted to share.

So I finally got around to putting in the interior LED's I got last week from vleds.com.

I wasn't sure how bright they were going to be so for now I only did the following:

16 smd board in each of the map lights
2 16 smd boards for the dome

Mounted with double sided tape and they seem to be holding up good.

I also removed the extra plastic lens that is in the housing.

Very bright! I will be doing the rest of the interior, trunk light and license plate lights next week!

They look great. Does anyone have a list of all replaceable lights and how many we would need to buy?

probably blew the dome light fuse ^

also check out Pfran LED kits, just converted my GX to 20 SMD LED panels for the two front map lights, 48 SMD LED panels for middle and rear dome lights, and 10 SMD LED bulbs for the door panel lights

Hey guys, I keep this website on my favorites as it indicates almost all light bulb sizes and types:

http://www.modifiedlife.com/2004-lex...lb-size-guide/

The ONLY thing I need that I CANNOT find are the tiny glove box and foot light in LED. Can anyone find it for me and post a link. Thanks.

Czr =)
