Default Headlight Restoration And LED Install Pics

Ordered my L.E.D. bulbs from superbrightleds.com, 8 bucks shipping (shipped Monday, came in Wednesday) 40 bucks for 4 dome light bulbs and 4 step lights (lights on your door when you open it)

heres some pics to show the difference..
I'll add some pics from my headlight restoration too...

What they came in.. after i opened the package..

Red door LED, should have bought a wider angle, not much difference in the factory and this one, just a little more red..
Click the image to open in full size.

Rear dome lights completed, i took the metal block plate out to let more light through, it helped

Factory bulb on the left, LED on the right, was never really worried about the light they put out, i just hate that old amber shine the OEM light puts out..

Do all your interior lights come on when you open door or only the floor lights?

less than 20, everything included, my advice is to grab a few extra mircocloths tho, they only give you one


and to answer a question about the lights coming on when i open my door..
both front and rear dome lights come on along with whatever door light that i open.

thanks guys

41 bucks for all 8 led bulbs

superbrightleds.com



EDIT, just went to my car to grab something (after dark).... HOLY SHIT.. :s hakeshout:


best 40 bucks spent yet on the LEDS

Make sure you put a UV protector on your headlights or they will yellow out again in 6 months. Link enclosed.

Looks sweet, did you buy red or white for the doors? White would work best, FYI.

I bought the McGuiars headlight kit and it worked great as well, looks very similar.

if you haven't ordered the floorboard lights, you might want to order two bulbs for the license plate. I forgot to order them when I ordered all my interior lights.

I used the 3m kit on the wifes ride last weekend. I like that it comes with everything you need and a good sealant is just a good quality wax. last almost 9 months here in ky weather.
