LED interior upgrade

Anyone got some info on switching out the interior lighting to led's?

I am thinking about changing things up a bit...

Thanks,

Mike.

I've done my interior and external running lights, license plate lights, etc.

I like the whiter look, and it helps upgrade the exterior.

Nice. I am thinking about doing the brighter white as well. What bulbs did you use? Got any links to where you got them?

Your interior bulbs look to all be 36mm festoon LEDs. Shoot us a PM or email (aznoptics@gmail.com) and we can set you up with a package deal.

I have 2008 CLS and virtually all of my interior bulbs were T10. (make sure you get the CANBUS versions)

Strange, the lighting specs I pulled from 4 sources have only the map lights as T10/194. The others are mostly 36mm festoons with the dome and step light as 41mm festoons. Wouldn't be the first time MB specs were off though, so would be good to independently verify for your specific vehicle.

I just redid my overheads, and I know they're T10's. I'll look at the door and well lights tonight - they may be festoons.

FYI: Mike, I bought my license plate lights from AZN years ago and they still look great.

Good to know. I'll mark a note on that. When you say overheads, I assume you mean dome lights and not map lights?

Thanks for the info. I will have to look into what bulbs I do have. I would like to do a package for the whole interior and maybe a few exterior if we can find out what they all are.

Mike.

Not a problem. We can set you up with a custom package and apply forum discount

AZN's right, the foot well, glove box & doors are festoons, the overheads are T10's. Sorry about that.

I replaced my running lights with clear lenses and yellow LEDs, and the city lights with an LED. The license plate light alone really updates the back end of the car. My fog lights are LEDs now as well.
