anyone do LEDS in the map lights and if u did how did u get them out and what site did you find them on?

 

I have them, got them from jimboscomp as he decided he wanted blue ones instead of white. You have to unscrew the whole console they're in and access the bulbs from the top (it pulls down rather hard after you take the screw out).

These right?

 

yeah thats what im looking for and the back one for the quad cab thanks

 

Anyone know what #bulbs they are or what the specs are?

 

05 dakotas, the front are 194, flank bulbs preferrably. The rear is the 42mm.... http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=344<---- that's what you want for the rear if you want white, theyhave blue as well.

For 06 dakotas and up, I believe they use the 33mm festoon LEDs on vleds.com. You might want to check ur front dome lights to make sure what bulbs they are. If it goes into a socket, it's 194, if it has a bracket on both sides of the light, then it's festoon.

 

Oh a note on the festoon bulb for the dome light, you may need to bend the metal clips closer together for it to fit snugly, if you don't it might flicker or just not work (happened to me till I squeezed them together).

Oh, jimbo, one of my reading lights flickers a lot, almost positive it's just loose, any ideas to get it to fit tighter in the socket?

 

push it in harder maybe...if not...try taking a SMALL flat head screw driver and pressing the contacts of the socket inward to create a tighter fit for the light.

 

Thanks, hadn't thought of that. I was trying to figure out what I could add to the bulb contacts to make them bigger without shorting it out, the screwdriver sounds much simpler/safer

 

Thanks for your help im doing red leds , because i have the red R/T ill post some pic's as soon as i can..
