I have a 02 maxima and I cant find what type of Led bulbs i need for the map lights. and bought some from autoillumination for the Ba9 or somthing like that and they dont work so can you someone please tell which ones to get or the ones that work you guys

 

My buddy has a 03 Maxima and he soddered (idk how to spell that) his own on to the piece that holds onto the actual bulb... he put 3 5mm white Leds in and he said it wasn't hard... I'll try to get a pic of it if you'd like.

 

yea if you dont mind

 

Here's a pic of the led map light
The map light for my 01 maxima AE with a sun roof is BA9S-189
I bought mine from ebay their sold as a pair I still have one left if anyone needs them.

 

Just incase if your intrested in more leds mods

 

The licence leds are type 194 from v-leds.com it looks blueish because of the reflection from my majestic blue car paint, its white at night.

Notice how the bright leds shines on to the ground.

This is the clear sidemarker leds they are white when look at, and my 8k aftermarket hids.

 

The real only way to get leds in map and dome lights are usually done custom

 

how is that law? im confused
you can buy led bulbs for all dome+map lights from any site and even peeboys?

 

I looked through the factory service manual and other websites and discovered that the instrument cluster bulbs were 194. When going to change them out, to my suprise, I found that they were 74's, not 194's. Did anyone else also get this pleasant suprise????

 

I was thinking the same thing... I was just about to buy some LED's for my dome light from autolumination.. would the "Superstar" LED bulb (3rd product down on this page http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm) work in the dome lamp?

 

i bought a dome light from autoillumination and when i close the door it takes a long time for the bulb to go off all the way at first it dims but yo can still see the bulb on a little but not enough to make the 30 min later its completely off. if that make any since

 

ive seen map lights on cardomain that werent custom made but i dont know what size bulb it is. when are we going to plan a Sac Meet

 

i cant find them on Ebay

 

Custom made as in more than just 1 tiny led. My custom dome light has bout 10 leds in it and my map has like 5+

 

where did you get your map lights from.

 

Custom made by orger's friend.

 

would blue lights in the doors and map and white in the dome look whack?
i was thinking about either that or white maps and dome and blue doors

 

try this


.....

 

I have the white maps and dome then blue for the doors cuz when u use the maps and dome light ur trying to read, which would be perfect and the blue will get annoying after a while which is why i put them on the doors they will only lit when the door is opened and is a perfect head turner for people passing by. I have a pics of that set up on the 1 page.

 

I got my dome light on ebay, it stays dim when on the "DOOR" position. Even after I park and lock my car. Any solutions to this?

 

other than adding a resistor i dont think so
its odd because my LEDs in the TSX stay dimly on when in off and off when in door


but leds dont draw that much energy so if u drive ur car like once a week ur good
your batteery wont die

 

i have the same problem with mine. but i think it goes all the way off after about 5 or 10.

 

are they any good how long have you had them and did you have to rewire them or do yo just put them right in cause i was told that you have to do that to make them work. Thanks for your help.

 

I've had these LEDs for half a year now and these are plug and play no rewiring required. They are extremely white and use very little power in fact I left them on in my cars for 3 days and was still able to start the engine.

 

My custom 5mm LEDS. Working on the Dome, map, and visor lights next.

 

i have my door and dome all white accept for the maps are still pissy yellow

 

where did you get them from they look real bright i wanna replace my dome because it stay on when i lock it

 

They are bright. I bought 5mm leds on ebay and just custom made my own to fit into my max. You will need resistors, circuit board, and the LEDS.

Like this..I made it to resemble the 168/194 bulbs:

 

no thanks then i just wanna plug n light up

 

alright coo i might try them out

 

hey i bought these lights from him off of ebay, i got them in the mail and put them in and they didnt work....i emailed the seller and he said to check polarity and what not. But i tried putting them in like a million times!! is there any modification i need to do to these lights to make them work? he says that "the base pin is positive terminal and the metalbody is negative terminal." its plug and play right?

 

Be careful with these L.e.d bulbs guys... i bought a pair from ebay and the taillight led bulbs i installed actually affected my remote starter from working. It took me a while to notice cause i dont use my remote starter often , i started noticing under braking my clock would get dim and when i would let off it would go back to normal. I finally just took them out, they werent even brighter than my stock Sylvania bulbs that were in the car.
