CT2015Legacy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Has someone compiled a list of what is need to replace all the bulbs with LED's? I'll be having a review coming out soon with my LED swap from Prolightz. Door Light, Trunk Light, and License Plate Lights are all 194 bulbs. Map and Dome Light are Festoon Bulbs I believe 30mm (I'll get back to you on that in my review).

They do; vanity lights for the visor lights are not included I believe that's desperate if you want those.

CT2015Legacy Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I will stress again and again I noticed your last link for the Festoon LED bulb for the Dome and Map light is 31mm. While this may fit the dome light it WILL NOT fit well at all in the map light. I tried it myself and you really have to bend the factory contacts in order to even get it to slightly hold in place. As soon as you hit a bump the right way it'll spring right out. While the others may be better bulbs (idk personally) attention to detail is what Prolightz offers and making sure the bulbs fit properly and are good quality bulbs not cheap bulbs found on amazon. Just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Follow me on Instagram @CT2015Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayms69 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 sure would be nice to really know WTF is the deal with led lights. Are the prolightz really bright almost too harsh? Do the door ones make any real difference or do they actually make your nighttime entrys easier? Those are they only lights i would like to replace. Maybe they could just sell me those.

im2c0ol Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I sell HID and LEDs as a local business, so I tried and bought bunch of them. 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

I'm happy with all the LED lights from Prolightz except the door lights. They don't make much of a difference IMO. They are only slightly brighter but IMO a side firing LED would be better than a complete 360° one.

CT2015Legacy Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I was afraid of that, thanks CT Your welcome; just want to make sure that was noted. I found out myself this was the case when testing the bulbs from Prolightz.

I'm guessing you need to pop the bottom of the door panel to get to the bulbs. How difficult is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff T Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did we ever settle on a size for the festoon bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT2015Legacy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Map lights are 27mm (hard to find) that I have. Dome light is 29mm (Unique to my knowledge) to Prolightz. My review should be posted in the next few days. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Follow me on Instagram @CT2015Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanclopez2786 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I found some good LED puddle lights that seem pretty bright and white to me of thats what anyone is looking for. I took some crappy cell phone pics of the bulb and how bright it is installed in the door. This is the LINK to the bulb. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/juanclopez2786/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/20141210_220540_zpsnnfbiji0.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/juanclopez2786/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/20141210_220555_zps5u0pbgwj.jpg This pic shows the 194 LED bulb in comparison to the new LED http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/juanclopez2786/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/20141210_220629_zpsd3q8gp6e.jpg Installed http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/juanclopez2786/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/20141210_183815_zpshem6alxa.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_m Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just got these yesterday. This seller on e-bay has tons of led's and a nice variety of 194's. They looked huge when I opened the package, but actually fit into the housing with almost no room to spare. The light they throw down is incredible, and the intensity matches the lights in the mirrors. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
