LED Advise.....

Ok so I picked up a set of LEDS for my Doors , Truck and Glovebox from superbrightleds.com and it came out real nice looking. Any ideas which bulbs are used for the map lamps, dome, and license plate light. I got real comfused there were maybe 4 different wedge bulbs for the dome i uno which was the right one. The license plate bulbs are supposed to be 67/89 i didn't see and LEDS for that and the maps lamps I wasn't sure all 2gether. I know bunch of ya out there have this done. Get back to me, all ideas are welcome, thanks for the help I know it is noobish! ~Charlie~

Also is anybody is the NYC \ NJ| LI area good w\ LED work or know sombody or possible a shop that is good. I wanna put LEDs in my dash and shifter trim and come up w\ something creative for the guages, but i can't wire things for crap. Get back to me....

I'm also wondering which bulbs are the correct ones for the dome light and maplights whether its LED or regular bulbs?

Mine are super dim cuz I just picked em out randomly by the look when the previous ones burned out.

there should be a thread from last year that discussed the different style led bulbs from superbrightleds.com. i bought the blue 194 led bulbs for the gauges, and glovebox, and the 74 bulbs to replace some of the others.

check craig brace's site for michael's interior led writeup

after that, you can have full blue/red/amber/white interior lights.

Ok--- Sorry for jacking the thread... but with these rules one has no choice...

I have a 92SE with the automatic climate control. But it does not light up when I turn the headlights on.

1 -- Does anyone know if this is actually supposed to light up?
2 -- What type of bulb would I need to replace it?
3 -- Would this be an easy fix? (I am somewhat mechincally inclined, ie can change brakes, oil, tune-up, radio installs, etc.)

Thanks

This was to me or to the original poster? When I looked at the website, I didn't see anything that looked like what I was looking for.

'pologize. It is in fact a GXE.


Now how that helped is another matter.

I've recently been trying to get some for my side mirror defroster switch but Radio shack didnt have any..dealer wants to sell entire switch cuz of bulb, so I'm assuming its the same bulb for the power/comfort switch.
