Interior Lighting Converted to LED (Many PICS)
- Thread starter Fo_SheeZy
- Start date
Over at VLED's they have several different choices. Im liking the "WHITE 6W 12 LED HIGH POWER PANEL LIGHT" just becuase it seems to be the strongest 5k. What about door lights and map?
What im looking to do is replace all interior lights minus the instermentation cluster. Unfortunately they dont have kit to buy all at once. Does someone have an updated list I can use.
Looking forward to this great forum and all the helpful users!

Here's what I changed:

-Two Map Lights (194)
-Glove Box Light (74)
-Two Mirror Lights (Vanity, get them here: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/fp/scat/122433/SFV/32481 )
-Middle Dome Light (Oznium Ultra-Thin 18-LED)
-Trunk Dome Light (Oznium Ultra-Thin 18-LED)
Rear Shots, Middle & Trunk Dome Light:
Front Shot, Middle & Trunk Dome Light:
Map Lights:
Map Lights + Mirror Lights:
Backseat:
Door Light:
Glove Box:
Does anyone know if you can put LED's in the running board lights?
Yes you can they're 194 wedge
VLED Dome WONT FIT
So I bought MINI ROUND UNIVERSAL HIGH POWER LED BULB 5K White LED - 194 - 168 - 158 LED - Bulb Number and fallowed this gudide to the tee, just to find that the "DIY_BASE_3175" does not fit perfectly. I quote the guide: ". The VLed bulb is available with various different socket adapters and the DE3175 (DIY_BASE_3175) adapter fits perfectly in the 4Runner dome lamp housing".
Has anyone this problem? The adapter wont fit in the socket to save my life. Im starting to think that its a 29mm rather than 31. The damn thing will not fit in between the two metal flaps.

This is my first posting here, so I'm looking for someone to tell me if this forum has been idol too long & I should use another one.
I'm looking to update my 2000 LTD 4Runner interior lights to LEDs. I've read so many posts and clicked on many, many links (most of which are out-of-date). I've learned 48 seems to be the highest number of lights per board (I assume that's the best?), oznium seems to only go up to 25 tho. I learned there are different colors for different uses, I fish, camp & hunt constantly (retired) and would like something close to daylight as I would be reading maps, using bait/hooks/etc, or finding/prepping gear when you arrive at camp late. VLEDS shows my dome light, but it doesn't look very bright w/ maybe 6 led's max. I didn't see the boards for my SUV.
Finally, the dome and rear cargo look easy, but the 2 map lights are the old bulb style that you twist out. How do LEDs go in there? I've not found a seller on Ebay, Amazon or elsewhere that looks like it would fit. I wonder if the dash bulbs will be the same?
Someone w/ the same Gen/Year who has done this or someone w/ experience would be a great help here.
Thanks!

48 seems liek overkill, my bulbs have like 9 led's in them and they're plenty bright. I'd worry that the 48 led bulbs might put stress on the wiring. As long as you get the LED bulbs from a reputable company you should be fine.
I suggest superbrightleds, or vled's or oznium.

VLED Replacement
Just replaced all interior, including visor and glovebox, running boards and license plate with 5000K VLEDs and extremely happy. Better looking and brighter. Replacement was easy across the board, but the glove box one is hard to get to.
One of the pictures the running boards haven't been replaced.

Vanity Light
In my opinion the vanity LEDs aren't too bright. The plastic piece helps diffuse it enough. Only somewhat blinding if you look directly at them real close up, which probably isn't advisable.
Another plus is the whiter LEDs make you look better than the ugly color factory bulbs. LEDs are much closer to those makeup mirrors with lights, which your wife might like better.
