Talking Interior LED lights install.

As most of you know the stock interior lights sucks. I bought a direct drop in LED light bulbs for my truck as well as my Suzuki Grand Vitara. Here are the pictures of the trucks. My phone camera was not picking up the interior at night so I will post up the light shots. As most of you could tell by yours stock incandescent light bulbs burn yellow and very dim. These are white light and extremely bright.
The rear dome light is single bulb but since I had 2 of the same kind, I just soldered wires on the bulb and wired it in, so the rear now has 2.


Rear stock dome light.


Rear-view Mirror.


Overhead light console with compass and temp.






For my truck I had used all 4 of these. (Glove box, under dash/fusebox, 2 for the rear view mirror) Wedge Lamp Bulb

I used these 2 bulbs for the overhead console. 39mm

I used this one for the rear only stock POS dome rear light. 39mm

As a side note, I just bought this yesterday. 2007 Hyosung GV650 Boy does she run hard and fast.

I ordered LEDs for my dash because my overhead light burned out recently and this made me realize I completely forgot to order the bulb for the overhead when I ordered.

Then now would be a great time to upgrade.

One other option if you only have the one light inside the truck, would be one of these larger LED panels would work.
