Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEMENT. - 10/31/2007 3:36:37 AM    S10Blazer Posts: 184 Joined: 9/4/2006 Status: offline 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.  http://www.v-leds.com 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".  Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (2) < Message edited by S10Blazer -- 10/31/2007 7:56:30 AM > _____________________________ ''96 S-10 Blazer LS 4.3L 4x4, Compustar 2WSS-AS Alarm, 1200 Watt Profile California Amp, Kole Audio 2.5Farad Capacitor, 12" Dual Subs, JVC KD-AVX1 CD/DVD Player, Pioneer speakers, Nu Image Gauges, Optima Yellow Top, K&N FIPK, HID White Interior LEDs Post #: 1

RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEM... - 10/31/2007 8:13:17 AM    S10Blazer Posts: 184 Joined: 9/4/2006 Status: offline 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. *EDIT by swartlkk* - Fixed long link < Message edited by swartlkk -- 10/31/2007 8:28:05 AM > _____________________________ ''96 S-10 Blazer LS 4.3L 4x4, Compustar 2WSS-AS Alarm, 1200 Watt Profile California Amp, Kole Audio 2.5Farad Capacitor, 12" Dual Subs, JVC KD-AVX1 CD/DVD Player, Pioneer speakers, Nu Image Gauges, Optima Yellow Top, K&N FIPK, HID White Interior LEDs (in reply to blazinblack) Post #: 3

RE: Changed all interior lights to LEDs.DIRECT REPLACEM... - 12/29/2007 3:20:29 AM    dimmuborgir6nik6 Posts: 455 Joined: 8/13/2007 Status: offline 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. _____________________________ 1996 Chevy Blazer 4 door 4x4 4.3L Vortec ----------------------------------------- Flowmaster 40 Series Westin grille guard Sylvania Silverstar Ultra High Beams Sylvania Silverstar Ultra Low Beams AEM Brute Force Pioneer deck Polk audio (in reply to S10Blazer) Post #: 17

Or soldered directly to the circuit board... I know the headlight switch has the bulb on a stick. _____________________________ (in reply to dimmuborgir6nik6) Post #: 18

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. _____________________________ 1996 Chevy Blazer 4 door 4x4 4.3L Vortec ----------------------------------------- Flowmaster 40 Series Westin grille guard Sylvania Silverstar Ultra High Beams Sylvania Silverstar Ultra Low Beams AEM Brute Force Pioneer deck Polk audio (in reply to drperry) Post #: 19
