LED DIY

Ok, I want to change most of my bulbs to LEDs
I want to double check with you guys if I have all the
RIGHT LED models before buying

Here we go

1-Parking light: 194
2-Tail light: 7225
3-Stop light: 1156
4-Licence plate: Festoon ? 36 or 39mm ? Resistor ? how many?
5-Back up light: 1156
6-Front sidemarker: 194
7-Glove box: Festoon ? 36 or 39mm ? Resistor ? how many?
8-Map light: ?????
9-Dome light: Festoon ? 36 or 39mm ? Resistor ? how many?
10-Step/courtesy light (in the door): Festoon ? 36 or 39mm ? Resistor ? how many?
11-In the trunk area: Festoon ? 36 or 39mm ? Resistor ? how many?

Resistor needed : #4 (2) I think... anyone confirms?


I did not include Turn LED (I think it's a little ricer...) BTW you need resistors

OK soo do anyone know anwers to 4-7-9-10-11?

Thanks Andy for putting that list up

I had that list from Sylvania at home... some of the numbers on that liste
is not applicable when you buy LED or bulb from eg:autolumination
That's why I posted my list

Wanna complete my list with me?

#4 Licence plate light... Did you use 36mm Festoon or 39mm ?
and I think you needed a resistor too right?
Soo I would need 2 Festoons et 2 resistors (or load equalizer) of 15-25 Ohm Right?

hey you welcome...Anyway, for the dome light I couldnt remember that I use 36mm or 39mm but I think you can fit both in (front and back are the same).

Here is the Cross Reference (Festoon 31mm,36mm,39mm,41mm):
212, 211, 212-2, 214-2, 3423, 3425, 3022, 3021, 3175, 6411, 6413, 6418, 6423, 6428, 6429, 6430.

#4 License Plate Light: I used two 36mm festoons with two resistors(one for each side). Did u see my thread yet ? If u really want to do that pm me your email I'll send you some pics with the detail how to connect those.

I tried several led's and resistors for the front parking lamp, but could not get it to work - either still blinking or not lighting up at all. If you guys have done this or figure it out please post resistor and or wiring. Thanks!

do your resistors get super hot? if so, where did you guys mount them? I am getting an error on my left bulb, not the right though. I installed a 6ohm 50 watt resistor and it melted right through my trunklid....my car smells like burnt plastic :-(

Maybe the 15-25 doesnt get as hot?

all resistors will get hot, i had all white leds on my w208. To prevent resistors getting very hot and touching other things by the engine i wrapped the resistors in black electrical tape.

This is where I mounted those resistors...again, you can mount those wherever you want as long as they against metal not plastic. For some reason, my resistors not that hot at all I would say they are warm. Pm me if u have any questions.

I got those - works fine. I got the license bulbs with the built in resistors from ebay too - works good. Why do so much work?

****, can't find "Blesk LED's" on eBay anymore...I totally agree, I don't wanna mess with resistors and such. So I'm looking for an integrated solution.
