LED'D out

fang619 · Mar 18, 2011

so after doin alot of searching on ebay ive found i can replace just about every light on my truck with led's for about $30
so far ive ordered:
a pair of white h3 bulbs for my projectors with 26 leds in each
a pair of side marker bulbs with 5 leds
2 pairs of turn signals with 10 leds in each
just about every light except for the tail lights (im waiting to get aftermarket ones first)

im currently waiting for all my bulbs to arrive in the mail from hong kong besides the side markers that i already recieved and am very pleased with so now all i can do is fantasize about putting the rest on

anybody else have good some pics of led on your rig?? :icon_cheers:

ive converted the whole interior of my truck, but ive found that LEDs dont photograph very well, so all of my attempts to capture their awesomeness have been squashed. $30 is pretty good considering i spent around $150 at superbriteleds.com, ive also got some trucklite backup lights in my rear bumper that set me back about $80, but theyre so worth it!

yeah same here with trying to take pics of em, it just sucks ordering from ebay because although it is %95 cheaper than autozone or pepboys it takes weeks to get here, im thinking about putting some leds near my suspension and skid plate, any ideas?

just find out the bulb number you need ie: h1, h2, b3

type it in on ebay and look around for the cheapest price and color you want, i got all of em from different sellers for $1-$8 each

The Ebay seller named JoeFlorida has great LED pods for customizing interiors (or exteriors). No plug in tail light bulbs and such, but the pods are very good quality for misc bling projects.

I used some on my boat and they are great.

yeah, theyre LEDS in the backup housing too, theyre luxeon bulbs. the only draw back to the LEDs in the backup lights is that you need something for the light to reflect off from, like a building wall, or snow banks, or a parked car, other wise its hard to see by just looking in the mirrors or through the tinted rear window. i had bought a bunch of green leds from autometer, but at $13 each i returned the ones that were easy to get to and then ordered more green ones on line.

I bought some too!!! I really like my third brake light that I bought with the led lights!!! I bought that on Ebay as well. Looks sharp and it is very bright.
I have not replaced any of my bulbs yet...I am waiting to do so later on this summer.

yeah i just bought a third brake light from another user with leds and it works really well(especially the cargo light i just discovered the other day) but a few of the bulbs burnt out or something because they arent working, and i cant figure out how to take the damn thing apart!! :icon_confused:

i just added a pair of 921 leds to the original cargo light and left the 3rd brake light bulb stock. i was messing with red and clear LEDs in the tail lights but none of them were as bright as a normal incadescent bulb, so i left them alone. turn signals are however on my list as well as some pacer fender flares.

Are the leds in the reverse light bright enough to use without the two big back up lights?

ForOffRoadDriving · Mar 18, 2011

they are, but since my housings are tinted with VHT niteshades they arent as bright as i would like. i think the bulbs were something like $19.50 each, but they compliment the rest of the leds back there (license plate light, cargo light, and back up lights). the dome lights are ridiculously bright (awesome dope scope), but i havent been able to get a good picture of them at night.

Now THAT I like! what numbers are exactly?
