RIGHT!!
I want to replace all the lights on the interior (like the window switches..etc) with all white LEDs!

rivcal4life

I thought about that too, but I was in a friends car who had that and a lot of the LED's had crapped out on him. The kits they have are kinda cheaply made and I think the tone of the light really makes the car look ricey and cheap inside. Just my $0.02

STLe320

I saw someone who had a w124 that replaced his...and I thought it looked pretty good

Anyone remember who that was?

berti_00

well i painted all my wood trim silver metalic and ists sick and behind it i put one circut board oh about 36leds blue so at night were the buttons are the light will reflect through and it looks sick lol...
same thing with the buttons on for the window placed one board with LEDS under and bammm

berti_00

LOL pics coming soon hopefully no one will steal my little idea hahaha

STLe320

Yeah albert, I definitely wanna see that when you're done!

These are nice, I put the AMG Logo ones in my car --- Lights it up a good bit at night. Nice Blue hue. But they are triple 50 budget. http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_resu...or+Sill+Covers

I've always been wanting to know where to get those!
Thanks, and I could see myself purchasing those very soon.

Hacha, those are costly. I'd love the Mercedes ones for my coupe but in red

Oooo, also, I did my interior lights (except switches/gauges) red and lemme tell you, best thing for night driving. Totally recommend.

STLe320

What exactly do you mean by interior lights? Like the dome light, etc..?

Saijin_Naib

Yeah, front/rear dome light. I will be doing the mirror lights and then the front reading light (the tiny square that is bright on the right side of the front dome light housing). Switches I thought about, but then it'd look like a VW or an Audi and I am not having that.

Front/Rear Dome= 41/42mm Festoon
Under door Courtesey= 36mm Festoon
Map Light= ?
Mirror Lights= ?

STLe320

Do you think they sell them in Blue?

STLe320

Would these work for the courtesy door lights? (the ones on the bottom of the doors right?)

These would fit the front and rear dome lights right?

Saijin_Naib

Yeap, both are correct sizes. The 36mm are also the ones for the license plate lights but they'd be illegal (atleast in NJ they are). Pep Boys sells the 36/41mm festoons in white/red/blue but I'm not sure if its just a local thing or yours will have them too. I'll let you know once I find out the bulb for the map light and the flip down mirrors are. I'm keeping trunk/glovebox white so its easy to find things. Just a thought :P

STLe320

Thanks for the info. As for Pep Boys, I don't have any local locations around here up north in STL. I want to replace all the door lights, dome lights, and possibly the trunk with either a bright blue, or either just a nice clean white LED. I don't have a glove compartment so that's outta the question of visibility...lol

I just got my amp on friday, so tonight I hope to finish wrapping the box and finalizing the trunk prior to install. There's a LED that glows blue on the top of my amp, so I maybe thought the blue light would compliment it

Saijin_Naib

Sure, go for what matches I'm just worried that if I need to get into my spare tire well where all my tools and stuff are the red bulb won't cast enough light. If it matches your amp and the theme you have going on, why not do it? I may be swayed to replacing those two eventually, it depends :P

Still looking for those bulb types :C

STLe320

I think the blue will be bright enough in my opinion, especially with 6-8 LEDs. But red is generally not as bright as blue, in total light output

berti_00

i changed all my interior lights to bright WHITE LED with 8leds each and the door lights bright blue and the trunk and glove compartment is pending lol

STLe320

I've been thinking, and that gave me a good idea. I think I'm going to go with the white LEDs in the inside, and have the puddle lights and trunk light be blue. I still need that visibility at night when looking for something inside the car, and I think white would give it a nice, clean look.

berti_00

yah dood the white LED is sooooo bright i thought about blue inside too but noooo kinda to ricy and no visibility
but looks sick down by the doors

STLe320

haha yeah
at night, having my car glowing bright blue is a little too "cop attractive" for me. lol

Saijin_Naib

Just went into the trunk, its 41/42mm festoon bulb. I still don't know the halogen reading light or the Vanity Mirror lights.

hey can you guys post some pics about what your talking about. Im having a hard time imagining it. And Berti, can you explain what you did with the circuit board again because the way im thinking about it, you would crush the leds if you leaned on the trim area. Thanks.

berti_00

the LED's are way to small to even touch'''' but i did think of that for sure so yah i have plenty of room behind the trim i'll have some pics soon just to busy with the last days of school
