LED upgrades
Got tired of the old dingy and weak yellow lights when backing out the driveway. Also the map lights were about as yellow and dim as can be. I ain't as young as I used to be...need some damn light! Decided to upgrade to LEDs, so I got them all off Amazon. Had to research the map light a bit as the shape of them and how the led chips are arranged, matter. They come in a million configs.
The interior is so much brighter now and bathed in a white light. And they all dim down to nothing just like incandescents, when I hit the remote lock. Anyway, I'll shut up and start posting post pics.
Reverse lights
Map lights...boy were they yellow!

So now I'm fully converted to LEDs, minus the glove box, bed lights and cluster lights, which I don't plan on changing. Thanks to Magnethead's great thread on modding the flasher relay, I now have no hyperflash. This was accomplished without using a bunch of heavy load resistors at each corner. Instead, the flasher relay's threshold was changed, so it does not activate hyperflash with such a light load. Therefore, the lighting load is truly decreased on the electrical system, so my charging system and battery should reap the benefits.
