Interior lights replaced with LED's - WOW what a difference

alright well i dont have a glove box light and i dont ever recall lights coming on on the doors.... :? and map lights are the ones behind/on the reawview mirror correct? cause mine are on the ceiling in front of the storage compartment where you can put sunglasses in... did you look at the picture in my post before? the 20s dont look that big do they?

I think that I fit them in the footwells, glove box, front driver and passenger door, and for some reason I think that I even got them to fit in the rear seat lights but cant remember for sure. I dont have a dome light. I have the map lights and had to get a different style for that.

i think that you need to take someone out of the lights in the back if you wanna put in that big of bulb.. idk for sure though. so you might as well try it.

and those don't look that big at all. i'd try them everywhere. i didn't put very big ones in the foot wells cause i didn't want to hit the light and bust them off.. so i put ones that are small enough to be flush with the dash piece.
 
oh makes sense... althought the footwells lights are pretty high up and so far i havent hit them so i think i would be good there... and i think i have pretty good room everywhere else... i watched a video where they put bigger leds in and what they did was fold the silver thing(refector?) up first the put the bulb in there and it worked perfectly.... i just wanted to see everybodys opinion before i spent the money on the 20s lol

yeah, there is room.. but there is always a chance.. i could say i wouldn't have any problems with room in the wells.. but i can see my girl or a friend accidently hit there foot with it.. so just playing it safe. and i watched that same video.. its good. just like you said and they tell you .. move the reflector back first and then put the bulbs in. i'd go with 20's and if you don't use them all. well they don't get old just sitting there. can find spots for them.. they might fit in the back side markers.. and they are red already so youre fine there.
 
yeah true... well if i order them it comes with 10 of them so if i only use 6 i got 4 spares in case one dont work or gets hit... yeah that would be a good idea... cause leds light up faster and all.... i'll see when i get the chance to order the 20s and ill let y'all know what i find out once i get them lol
 
The 20s should be plenty bright. You will probably just have to bend the wires out a little if you are getting the cheap ones off Ebay like I did. You will be very happy with the brightness for sure.
 


Got the 20 LED's the other day... not as bright as i anticipated but oh well they look better, these acually shine red compared to the 194R's i had.... they fit everywhere except they are a tight fit in the over head lights in the back but it still works :) But i am fairly pleased with them, but could be brighter.
 


Heres mine

The ones in the doors are no longer connected as I used the plug to run power to some logo projectors instead. Still plenty bright. lol

OEM reds are not very red lights.. i had them in my back seat reading lamps and they looked pretty bad.. just like that picture.
 
yeah thats what i noticed lol i had all of them OEM red at a time so i never thought much of it untill i got my LED's, they where worth the money :)
