Default Blue Light Setup

Alright so Im planning on replacing all those boring yellow/white interior lights with blue LED light,also on the dash.

http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/light...klighting.html
http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/lighting/ignition.html




My problem is that im not sure which LED lights to buy from Superbrightleds.com
There are some many diffrent LED lights to choose from I dont know which one's to order for all the diffrent spots.
Any help?
Thanks

...or e-mail the owner of Lexls.com. He might help you out like he did me. I changed all my interior lighting on my dash and middle console to blue a year ago and I had the same dilemma. Just e-mail the owenr of Lexls.com but be nice.

I emailed him but he wasnt any help

Pictured here are LED bulbs. I bought 7 blue T1.5 instrument cluster LED bulbs from Superbrightleds.com. I superglued the 3 blue covers from the stock bulbs on 3 LED's to reduce the spotlight effect (3 very bright areas) on the LCD screen. DO NOT contact me about buying LED's, if you can't find them keep looking!!!

click the buy button.....


^ thats all he said

Us LS 400 owners all need to sign somthing or email them telling them to and that they are missing out on making $$$$ off of us.

the bulb u can buy but then u have to solder the right resistors on and then figure out how to put it into the fixture without a base. and i think that Lextech does do the LS but doesnt advertise it.

everything on it is blue, and at night it really shines. It would look great with the blue A/C lights

I just ordered the blue light package from luxurymods.com



The only reason I didnt order it earlier is because I thought the package only included those 4 lights shown in the picture and thought that it was over priced.
But then somewhere I found on a diffrent page that it includes:
4 Door lights
1 Dome Light
1 Ignition Light
2 Footwell Lights for Driver/Passenger Side



Just a suggestion to Mr.Lexo mabey you should list all that it comes with on this page also?

Cant wait for it to arrive

LLS is an LED company that is based solely off speedometer clusters, the LS uses cold cathodes and there is not one single led in the units. Info you should know before you someone

That's like asking a plumber to build a house. He may work in it, but not on it.

LoL thanks


But then how is it that this guy uses LEDs in this DIY???
http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/light...klighting.html

Also this guy says that there are some LEDs in it.
"7) Put everything back together and check out the new lights. The LCD backlighting LED's worked out great, but the button backlighting LED's are dim. Also, as you can see in the pic the indicator lights are still green. That's because these are already LED's and are soldered to a circuit board inside the face. Changing these would be quite a bit of work."
