LED lighting

I am curious why LED lighting for under the DASH? I just purchased a set of hyper-white bulbs to change my dash to white. I am eager to see how they compare to everyone elses "LED White"

:bat:
 
yeah post those pics too. are the halogen? where did you get these hyper white bulbs? But IMO LEDs in the dash just look so good compared to the dull yellowish green.

Think i already posted this pic but blah!

Hi

Sorry I'm pretty sure this have been asked already but I need help. I read the last 7 pages and I keep seeing a bunch of different bulbs sizes and colors. So I rather post here and get a direct answer.

I have a 97 4Runner Limited and looking to fix my AC control lights and gear selector lights. I am looking for the bulbs with the lighting and color will be close to stock as possible. Where can I order it and how many do I need? I think I rather have non-led bulbs.

Thank you in advance.

I swore I read this last night where rip answered for someone for all models. Search on his posts.

so i ordered the wrong replacement LED's for my ECT Defrost and rear Window buttons i ordered the T4 neo Wedges because ieveryone seemed to order them for there limiteds. we if you dont have a limited STOP!

i am returning my T4's today back to V-LEDs and Ordered some T3 LEDs so i hope those are the correct ones. ill check back in once i get them and try to pop them in . I repeat i will not buy LEDs ever again from autoillumination and ledautomotive. they both started to flicker after a few months. all the leds i got from V-leds have not.
 
yeah X2 ^^ Vleds is awesome. Their customer service is superb! I forgot to order a base to one of the LED's and they sent it out immediately! (i had to pay for the idem of course) but ven with some of my warranty stuff, i got my new bulbs so fast!

On a side note. has anyone or does anyone know what bulbs they use in the somewhat newer corolla's and Camery's? For those of you that like the white like me, their recent cars have a white bulbs on their speedo's and no hot spots! wondering if this could be an option??

The newer toytas use a circuit board with a lot of little LEDs everywhere. Changing them involves soldering and stuff, a lot more intense than what 3rd gens go through
 
This thread was very helpful, thank you all that gave input. Did mine last night, takes about any hour. I decided to post a pic b/c I didnt see any reds on this forum.

PS_ The light in the glove box seem pretty hard to get to. I can't seem to pull it out from the front, and trying to pop out the receptor from the rear is even harder. Anyone got some tips for that one. It's a 98.

wear a rubber glove while you pull it out. I too had a hard time pulling that sucker out of there and if i remember right this worked for me looks good BTW
 
hey you guys go here is my modded A/C switch
the a/c section is lit with a t3 neo wedge from v leds.

the on/off indicator is a bit more tricky than just plug and play. i when to fry's ( you can go to any electronics store) to buy a solder in led type. i ended up buying a Linrose BCMD204UWC white led and unsolder the old green and resoldered in the new white led. this is a T1 3mm led.

brighter and no more hotspots? Done!

What type did you use? I have my red LEDs to replace my green on the counter but yours look pretty uniform.
