Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT.

  

S10Blazer -> Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (10/31/2007 3:36:37 AM)

So I went on ebay, and found this seller that has his own website.  He sells many types of replacement LEDs.  I did my whole interior with HID white LEDs.  I did both front and back dome lights, all four map lights in the overhead console, both underneath the dash, both visors, and finally, the glove box.   It looks like daytime at night in my truck.  The only thing is, that i believe my truck, and the 95-97 blazers, have different housings for the map lights in the overhead consoles, than the 98 and up.  So in my truck, i had to get a dremel, and sand down a bit of the map light housings, CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK THEM as they are very fragile, and i was able to fit the 194 SMT bulbs that are on the website.

btw, if you dont see the 194 smt bulbs on the link i posted, he's got to have them in his ebay store.  just go on ebay, and type in "194 LED".

i have a 2001 will they just pop right in or will i have to do some customizing? and it looks mint

I have these currently in my map lights. 
Map lights - eBay

And they are almost touching the lense in the housing.  but they fit nicely.  Now, I am not sure, because i have a '96, but im pretty sure the map lights are different than mine.  My brother has a 2000, and he just popped in the standard size HID white leds from the same guy.  They fit like the original bulb.  However, if you want the bright ones, which are the SMT, you would have to measure, because they are much larger than a standard size bulb.  I believe these are the measurements, on this link here.  On my truck, the map lights have a kind of socket, that comes out with the whole lens of the map light, and I have to remove the bulb from the back of the lens.  .  On my brother's '00, all he had to do was pop off the little plastic clear lens, and pop the bulb right in.  Although i think you will have enough room, just measure, to play it safe.

Looks good, I might have to do that to my map lights for a final touch to my Dash Blue LED conversion.

Looks good! Now you've just gotta do your dash and HVAC controls in the same color! lol

I've been doing the samething in my truck. Funny thing is, I have also been using v-leds and my seller. I gotta say, you arent kidding about daylight at night. These things are crazy bright!

drperry -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/2/2007 1:20:44 AM)

I kinda wish I had the overhead console and map lights, just for the extra light when I use my truck for work!

lennyblazer -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/4/2007 6:07:34 PM)

Yeah I was using V-LED's too.

EuroGoldLS -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/4/2007 6:19:42 PM)

I'm gonna do the same thing soon. Can you make a list of all the different bulb numbers and the quantities of each?

lennyblazer -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/4/2007 6:56:08 PM)

You should be able to look at auto replacement bulbs on sylvania's website, which will give you all the bulb numbers but not quanities. Here is a link to the page

EuroGoldLS -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/4/2007 7:48:27 PM)

check that link. I'm getting 'object invalid' errors when i click it.

lennyblazer -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/4/2007 7:51:37 PM)

Try this

Looks sweet, something i have been thinking about doing for a while. There a very nice touch!!!!

EuroGoldLS -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/5/2007 2:53:27 PM)

Thanks. That link works for me... I don't know why the other one didn't

drperry -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (11/5/2007 3:29:41 PM)

The first link was to the bulb list itself, which for some reason, the site doesn't let you do... You've gotta do the whole search through the list thing...

These are all of the bulbs that I currently have in my truck.  But you should make sure that you have enough room if your truck is a different year.  I have a '96.  I believe the map lights on the 98+ have a different housing.  I believe he has them in other colors too, but I prefer HID white.

4-map light bulbs

2-under dash lights

1-glove box light

2-front and rear dome light

and i forgot these:

4-sun visors

Bulb numbers are in the car manual, but some of them aren't, like the ones behind the 4x4 console. I had to have the guy at Autozone pull them up.

But, I have a '96 LS 4x4, too, and I've been meaning to change out those dull orange map lights. Those lights are pricey though, I just spent $70 on headlights. I'll wait it out.
Looks amazing though. And blue dash lights are def next for me, too. And maybe some blue leds under the dash to light up the floor.

drperry -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (12/29/2007 3:35:53 AM)

It might be different for the 95 - 97's, but on the 98+ it's a little bulb, a T1.5, I think, on the end of a plastic stick, lol... Or soldered directly to the circuit board... I know the headlight switch has the bulb on a stick.

dimmuborgir6nik6 -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (12/29/2007 8:21:08 PM)

Looks great, can you give installation tips, for example taking out and installing the sun visor lights, front and rear dome lights and under dash lights?

At first I was thinking of getting neon lights for under the dash, but now I can just pop in some blue LED's into the factory whites.

drperry -> RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. (12/29/2007 8:47:08 PM)

The under dash lights should be plug and play... no special work involved... a 194 sized bulb should fit.
