emassa15 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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?

dbcooper Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 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.

Georgiatransit Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I bought waterproof led pods that come in a string and molded 2 into each lamp and the results are ridiculously bright Edited April 14, 2016 by Georgiatransit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateTheFknGreat Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) 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... https://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-10pcs-Bright-market/dp/B00OH0S5Y2/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1470732342&sr=8-19&keywords=t10+led City Lights: Tail lights: Headlights: Edited August 9, 2016 by NateTheFknGreat pictures Chirola and T0ASTERvan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateTheFknGreat Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a 32" light bar I'm going to install on the bottom grill and tap a relay off the fog lights to power it... Serving no purpose but would come in handy with someone cuts me off... Possibly trains horns also when the air ride goes on...

Chirola Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Nate TheFkn-Grate, first of all your TC looks sick with the lights update. Do you have the amazon links for the head lights and the tail lights? Also how do you take a part the map lights to replace them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 For what it's worth, these are the parking lights that I installed into the headlight housing. So far, they have worked fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017OYN7RM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm using these in my reverse lights. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX4FMD1/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 For the tail light under the reverse lamp, I used this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F2MUPZ0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this went into the brake light, because it comes with a 12 year warranty https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P2D3W0A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 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.

Fifty150 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 7 hours ago, Beta Don said: What did you use to replace the turn signal bulbs? Don Don, Nothing. I haven't replaced them yet. Still using OEM halogen turn signals. 5150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Would these work? https://www.amazon.com/LUYED-Lumens-Extremely-Chipsets-Brightest/dp/B01LWSFFF5/ref=sr_1_11?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1483132090&sr=1-11&keywords=amber+led+turn+signal+lights Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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. 5150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
