Yes I would like to add additional interior lights, however first I was wondering if anyone has swapped over there interior light bulbs to LED's?

I want to make a few power additions and really don't want to have to add another battery, so I figured I'd try to get the lighting as effiecnt as possible. Thoughts?

If you go to superbrightleds.com it list two different bulbs for the interior lights .A regular led and a can bus led. Not sure which one the TC wagon uses, I'm sure they could be different depending on model and year. They suggest removing the bulb to see if you get a bulb out message, if you do you need the can bus type bulb. It a future mod for mine just started looking for the details.

I replaced my dome lights and map lights with the t10 LED's and I like it a lot better...  I bought some other ones at first but the stock light was brighter...  My friend gave me some of these...  The black bulbs are in the dome light, the white bulbs are in my City Lights in my headlights...  I also put LED's in my headlights as well as my reverse lights...

For the tail light under the reverse lamp, I used this

and this went into the brake light, because it comes with a 12 year warranty

And for whatever reason, my brother in law swears that the best aftermarket LED drop-ins are sold by JDMASTAR (amazon.com seller).  To me, they are all made in the same factories in China, sold by different sellers under different brand names, and pricing, warranty, and customer support may vary.

Don, 

 

I'm sure that they would work.  In most cases though, those types of lamps still blink faster than halogen.  Then, there is also the front signal.  I'm being lazy and waiting for someone to try out a few things and post results.
