I've read maybe half the threads on LED lamps (they get long and boring) but I can't recall reading anything about the vanity mirror lamps. I never even thought about these lamps because I'd almost forgotten the car had them.

Maybe a week ago I was riding in the car (the wife was driving) and I pulled the visor down because we were driving into the sun. For some reason I flipped open the mirror and the lights didn't come on. Thinking I needed new bulbs, I immediately thought LEDs.

When I got home and popped out the lens, I was surprised at what I saw. The lamps looked like fuses. I can't recall ever seeing a lamp like that. Now I was interested, especially to see if there was a LED replacement. I knew my no lights problem was not burned out bulbs, I'd figured that out while we were still driving, but I was hooked on the LED search.

Well, it wasn't much of a search. VLED was out of stock, no due date. But SuperBrightLed had plenty, so I ordered 8 from them. Got them today and installed them.

Here is a photo with one LED lamp and one incandescent bulb. I hope I don't have to tell you which one is which.



Here is a photo of the lamps. The SuperBrightLed number is F30-WHP 12 volt.

 

Awesome. I seriously need some of these.

 

Very cool. I'm about to order some also! Super cheap and looks great!

 

Nice

 

why in gods name do you need bright a$$ vanity mirror lights?? i barely use mine and think the stock ones are fine. i think the led stuff is outta hand a bit.

 

It's for the bisches...they like lookin' @ themselves

Or, because racecar.

 

Ding ding ding.

 

There is truth in this. But it is more of a "consistency" thing. I have LEDs in the dome, the doors, the trunk, so I figure why not. When you're out at the lake at night watching the submarine races with your girl, you can use them for ambience lighting.

 

 

This. Lol

 

That's nice!!!

I also put some LED vanity bulbs.

but I concerned that It could be bother my eyes when I see the mirror.

so I put mine like this below



I gave them little bit of angle.

LED is bright but cast cold tone on human. Vanity, only b..ches use them. They may request you to switch back.

 

After I put mine in, I did go back and turn them on an angle. But I turned mine to the outside to reduce the glare in the eyes. I can't imagine how bright yours must be with the 3 cells.

I don't remember reading this thread. Maybe I did and that's why I took such a similiar photo.
