Redoing ALL my lights - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #68815 81 posts Started by 808celica
Doing a FULL LED bulb swap. Only thing im not doing is the clock, climate control, and low beams.
Found 9006 Led bulbs, i want to know if anyone has played with something like that?? friends have them on their VIP cars and i kinda like it. rarely use my highs so this would be nice to have all lights on without blinding people.

Bought 16pc LED VIP Puddle lights. Was thinking about custom making clear side mirror lens' with 2 yellow LEDs for turns and 2 white LEDs for when i open my doors and unlock with alarm.

Ordered 20pcs or 194 leds. white color 5leds on one bulb. shoots 360`
3 for gauge(current leds dont cut it)
2 or sidemarkers
2 for rears
2 for courtesy lights

and the rest for my ideas

ordered 2 green and 2 white LED flexible and waterproof strips 90cm in length. will post my idea later biggrin.gif
anyone know the replacement # for the Map 293 bulb in LED??? also the LED festoon # for the hatch courtesy light??

going to purchase 15 74 size led all white
1 for glove
1 for coin
1 for key ring
rest for gauge

anyone know if the 1157 Red LED and White and Yellow need that add on resistors??? i kinda like the Hyper-blinking with led turns. what is the 3rd stoplight bulb??
-4 yellow
-4 Red (i think, 2 each taillight)
-2 White for the backups
Confirm thats all i need for the tails and signals???

Wrap up
Exterior:
2 9006 white LED highs
front 2 yellow 1157 LED signals
front 2 194 white corners
rear 2 194 tail corners
rear 2 yellow 1157
rear 4 red 1157
rear 2 white 1157
2 194 white license plate
Interior:
3 194 gauge white
2 194 courtesy white
1 74 glove
1 74 coin
1 74 key ring
IIRC 12 74 in gauges

Ideas for the LED strips(will post later)
Change out CCFL green tubes for white 2 front and 2 rear

Still need to #size for:
MAP
Hatch festoon courtesy light
3rd Brale light



Might also try the LED Boards for the tails and Map

For the clock, you don't need new lights. You just need some light filters. Death has some in his FS thread.

Want the SMD Chip type LEDs but those are expensive and no one had a 10pc lot on ebay. These will have to do and when night falls they bring a smile to my face biggrin.gif






These License plate bulbs are from a different dealer so it isnt HID white, its super white, its the SMD chip LED type. The Flat bank ones so it only shines down biggrin.gif

I'm looking to make my gauge cluster white like that. I currently have the stock bulbs and taped gel over the plastic to make the needles red and the gauges whatever color the stock bulbs are (a really warm white, nearly orange). How much did those 194 drop-in LED bulbs cost?

All automotive LED replacements I've seen are absolutely inane. $8 for 5 SMD LEDs? No, thank you. Did you use the ones that are 5 standard LEDs, 4 in a circular pattern with one facing out? Or did you use the 5-way SMD LED bulbs that are all too common.

The 5mm LED style replacement looks real easy to make... just get 5 LEDs, bend the leads around to the right shape and glue them together. Wire them up in series and solder them into the cluster... much cheaper than paying whatever ridiculous amount most places charge for the replacement, seeing as how LEDs are anywhere from $.10-$1.00 a piece.

The white looks great on those gauges though. I want mine to look the same, except with red needles (just need white bulbs/LEDs).

This bulb is a 5mm led facing straight and 4 3mm leds shooting 360`. these are called refractors?!?!? dunno why. i didnt get the smd leds because of the price. the smd ones are the chip looking leds which have a better glow, but they're like $2.50 more for each compared to these. Im happy with the glow on this set.
