Hey guys.. i just got my order of LEDs in today.. and wanted to know where all i could use them and how.. I bought 194 bulbs and already had my gauges done.. i heard i can do my license plate light, rearview mirror map lights and the ATX shifter lights all with these LEDs.. does anyone know where i can find a how-to for doing all these as well as if theres anyways else the 194 LEDs will plug and play? (i already did my gauge cluster and my sidemarkers)..


Thanks and let me know!

 

for the license plate ou can looking above where the license plate is and see if you can pull the bulb from there, or you may need to remove the whole bumper,
for the trunk you just remove the plastic cover where the bulb is, (note this 2 first buls look bigger but they still 194type bulbs tho I'd sudjest you use higher power leds) for the map lights just fix the mirror to a position you can work on, to remove the bulbs I used tweezers but you can use some kind of plyers jus make sure you dont put toomuch pressure in em,
for the autostick base you'll need to removed the whole cupholder base by pulling your ebrake handle up as much as you can and removing the 2screws in the front cupholders and the other 4 in the armrest box, then just slide back and up the whole base, look underneath the stick base on it'll seem tricky to get the job done but theres no need to twist or unscrew anything else just pull the bulbbase, just remenber dont ever pull from the any cables and to avoid any cut from broken glass you can use to electrical gloves or wahtever, also to avoid any electical issues you can disconect the batterys negative cable, dont ever mess with the positive cable and for the love of god dont ever pull the rearview mirror you may cause a crack on your windshiled if you need to remove it just unscrew it with a 1/8 screwdriver like i did or use the star shape screwdriver for it, then slide it up contact me if you git any questions

 

by the way you should only have yellow/amber bulbs in the sidemarkers and use a white led for the license plate, any other color would be illegal, also yea them bulbs should be plug and play if you install em and dont light em then plug em the other way

 

Hey man! Thanks for the details! Ill try doing them all tomorrow hopefully and I know about all the laws with bulbs (although I don't really follow them)! Soon the inside of my car will look good again!

 

Super white are also legal just like amber.

 

I dont think white is illegal here in Ontario canada! But maybe but I don't really care! Installed the leds in the rearview mirror!

Next question I was also going to do my trunk light but I have no idea how to do remove the cover and get at the lights!

Anyone know how to replace the trunk bulbs (or at least get at them)?

 

theres only one, remove the cover same way u do the covers on the map lightsor the dome light, just use a screwdriver or something

 

ya i did them all today except for the shifter lights.. im happy with teh results (although i wish the trunk one would be a bit brighter).. i also rewired in my cathode tubes in my footwell (the passenger side still has to be done) and it all looks good! if i dont have to work tomorrow im planning to do the center consoles and the passenger footwell and hopefully ill get my parts in to do my HVAC and my dome light and a few other small things and then ill post up pics!!

 

so where do you get lights for the cluster and where are u guys getting your LEDs from? plus yako whats the best way to change out the dome light again?

 

Different colors are legal/illegal in different places. Amber and white are legal here in Florida.
