Default New Interior LED Upgrade Mod

Sup fellas!

This thread is for my LED light fans, I recently swapped out my LED dome lights to some super hella bright panels that CJITTY ran across and turn me on to. We first swapped out the rear festoon LED to the new light cause it was weak BUT I thought let me put two of them up front as well. The front LED bulbs were decent but wanted more light output and let me tell you these new ones due the job beautifully!

Check it out two boards up front & one in the back.

He provided the Amazon link in his post and the rear uses the festoon adapter and the fronts use the mini bulb wedge adapter, all three adapters come with each led panel..$9 gets you 3 sets to do all 3 dome lights..install is self explanatory

Yes.

List of bulbs in my car that have been swapped to LED's

Doors
Dome (front & rear)
Trunk (2)
Reverse (tail lights)
Nike light (front park lights)
Puddle lights (bottom of side mirrors)

I did not change the front/rear turn signals, front/rear side markers, glove box and vanity mirrors. I prefer the halogen bulbs for the vanity mirrors over LED light.

OEM LED's

Tag lights
Map lights (front/rear)
Tail lights
Footwell lights (I pulled the orange caps off to get white mood lighting vs halogen feel)
All backlighting i.e. instrument cluster, buttons & *****
