Best Dome Light Replacement

[Clemsonfan15]

I think I'm gonna get my Sister a new dome light for her '03. It seems so dark when you open the doors.

Which dome light do y'all recommend?

I have an Oznium LED panel in my '98 and really like it. Bright and not too expensive.

Let me know what y'all are running.

Thanks.

I personally like J.A.'s mods:

Toyota 4Runner Interior 5k LED Lighting Conversion

I followed everything he did, except I found the map lights to be too bright, so I substituted the LEDs that was used for the license plate lamps for the map lights.

A little expensive to do everything, but I like the light that is given by the complete mod.

Don't have to do everything, but the doors and domes would be a great Xmas present.

^^ X2. I'd do a simple LED swap for the dome. Relatively inexpensive and very easy to do. I also used JA's instructions to do mine.

I bought these for $7 from ebay and I could not be happier;

Thanks for the link. That looks like a really good option. I'm probably leaning in that direction right now.

Oh yeah, they're definitely bright. They're also really expensive. :/

I'm not sure how bright she wants the light so I might just get a less expensive set.

Any pictures on how it turned out?

Good price, but you always have to be a little cautious with ebay.

I would go with the ones from V-LEDS.COM | LED Dome, Map, License Plate, Reverse, DRL, Turn Signal, Brake Lights. I replaced all mine in my '03 with these and they are awesome!

Did you use the same one J.A. used?

You only do the dome lights?

 

[momo.75]

I used most of the same ones. i had to change the ones in the middle since i have two lights instead of one there. Basically i used two smaller lights that equaled the one he used. They are perfect. Let me know if you need my list.

I would like to have more info on that as well.

Here are some photos of my interior with the eBay LED dome lights in a dark garage. The first photo is with the LED map light on and the other is maps off (the photos are white balance correct).

Those look great! Super bright and clean.

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Those do look really good.

$7 for two is a lot better than ~$30.

Which bulb type is the one in the door? Is it 194?

Yes 194, which is the same as the map amd rear license plate lights.
