Alright, here's where I got mine. The seller's name is "led-world2007" on ebay. I bought (100) 5mm blue LEDs and (100) 3mm blue LEDs from this guy. It looks like he's out of 5mm LEDs at the moment, but I'm sure he'll list some more pretty soon. Just email him if you want 5mm blue LEDs or anything that he doesn't have listed. They come with resistors which you'll need if you're replacing anything that isn't already LED ie; dome/map lights, footwell lights, headlight/foglight switch backlighting, instrument cluster, HVAC panel and cigarette lighter. Most of the other interior switches use LEDs and already have resistors wired in place. I'm not gonna lie, some of the LEDs used in our AC/Defrost switches and clock are tiny and a PITA to to remove and replace. A few of them are smaller than an ant (and I'm not talking about army ants, I'm talking about those little tiny piss ants!) If you're not careful and sometimes even if you are, the soldering iron will burn right through the circuit boards in which the LEDs are mounted on. I picked up a nice soldering/wood-burning kit at Harbor Freight for 6 bucks. Try to find one with a tiny needle point tip. I also bought a nice heatshrink kit to cover the leads and my soldering job on the LEDs. Anyway, Here's one of the auctions for LEDs: http://cgi.ebay.com/100x-3mm-5000mcd...QQcmdZViewItem They come from Hong Kong, so be patient it takes about two weeks to get here. And this link was pretty helpful also: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/led.htm __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 02-29-2008, 06:41 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ma Posts: 176 |
Does anyone have LED in their corner lights? I have clear corners and I'm thinking about putting LEDs in them but I'm afraid they might be too bright or might look awkward. If so, do you have white or amber? Pics?  | | | | | 02-29-2008, 07:02 AM | #22 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

Streetglow makes little pods with 6-leds in them, they're really bright and come in all different colors (including white) I'm not sure but I think they could be fitted in your trunk and dome lights | | | | | 07-21-2008, 01:25 AM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
Believe it or not, but you can purchase LED's for any size at Advanced Autoparts, PepBoys, or Auto Zone. I'd know because I had to stop by all 3 places to find the right color bulbs (I was searching for abnormal colors, like orange and red). And they LED's because that what I purchased from all the stores. The reason I had to stop by all of them was because I purchased all the LED's they had in stock (they only had 2 of each color). __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
