Default LED lighting for trunk, doors, tag

I got some new LED bulbs from my friend, got 1 set of 4 LED wedge style bulbs and one set of 6 LED wedge style bulbs took some pictures for you guys to compare. These are the normal hyper white type color. Its unbelievably hard to take pictures in the dark, I had to use my brothers SLR camera in manual focus so the pictures might be a tad blurry.

Door with 6 LED bulb


OEM Door Bulb


LED Tag with 6 LED Bulb Go Gators!


OEM Tag


Trunk with 6 LED bulb


Trunk with 4 LED bulb


Trunk with stock bulb


Here is a picture of the entire trunk with two 4 LED bulbs, I accidently forgot to put cover on right side. But even with it on it gets great light I really like what it does to the trunk at night. And its only a set of the 4 LED ones it would be brighter with the 6 LED bulbs.




the bulbs OEM vs After

Cool

Damn Tony you're killing me. That's exactly what I've been wanting to do. They look awesome. I also wanted to do it for the interior domes. I'm scared to break the plastic covers. What did u use flathead screwdriver??

Everything looks great, but it'd be a matter of seconds here in IL before you get a ticket for an unreadable license plate

In another picture the license tag looks brighter, but your right the angle of the LED's do make it a little bit harder to read the tag, I think they make 8 LED bulbs and I want to try those on the tag when I get them, currently I am using the stock OEM bulbs.


Oops dont email me for contact info I found out I got some proto type bulbs and these arent for sale yet The guy says that hell put together a LED kit to cover all the lights in the SC430 in about two weeks. I'll post up their new website as soon as I get it. I would expect a really good discount in buying the kit rather than individual LED bulbs.

If you guys want to purchase these LED lights send me an e-mail to tonydt1g3r@aol.com and I'll give you the purchasing info you need.
tony, do you want to just post up where people can get buy the bulbs from directly?

i like the door and the trunk (probably would wanna do the trunk) but not sure about license plate. i don't need more attention from behind

You can get them on ebay pretty cheap. I guess the numbers are the same in the UK as the US.

Search for

LED 501(sidelights, side indicators, door lights)
LED 31mm Dome Interior light
LED Front indicators 7440
LED Reversing 7440
LED Rear fogs 7440/7443
LED BA9 Interior Map light

we dont have this LED 31mm Dome Interior light , I saw this online somewhere also and I got it but its the wrong fit. I had to order different bulbs all together for the dome light they havent come in yet. They are like mini light bulbs.
