Default Superbrightleds- Map/rearview & rear dome LEDs

I have ZERO clue why I waited so freaking long to do this.

The cost was 18$ shipped and it took me about 5 minutes to replace the three bulbs.

The difference is HUGE! Really helps the interior of the car!!!

Anyone even half way considering these, go there now and buy them! You will thank me!

A+++
2002 trans am
REARVIEW: (direct plug and play, doesn't take 2-3 minutes tops) 921 LED Bulb - 12 Wide Angle LED Mini Wedge Base
REAR DOME: (I had to "make" this work, I would recommend SJS solution it is what I'm switching to)
561 LED Bulb - 9 SMD LED Festoon

Dome: https://d114hh0cykhyb0.cloudfront.ne...tore.jpg&w=100

Superbrightleds.com. Look on the top of the page and do a vehicle search. I did all my interior lights in LEDs over the summer and it looks so much better.

Sorry guys, i left town yesterday and am still out.

I will get you some pics tonight as well as part numbers.

Everyone that opens the door says WOW that is bright and looks awesome! It really updates the interior.

The install took five minutes.. The rear dome was the wrong bulb but i made it work, like most do. There is a lot of mixed information on what is supposed to be in there. I think a regular festoon would work better instead of a loop. I just bent the tabs in/down some, it could still be angled down a tad more but it works.
The front slid in like I was putting a factory bulb back in.

Yellowta, Im kicking myself for not doing this 2-3 years ago to my pewter car! Next will be the reverse lights, tails, and drl/turn signals. I think that's all Im replacing.

If you can change a light bulb, you can do this.

I did every light in my car including putting two led strips under the dash in the foot well that come on when the door opens. It is nice. The way it should've came from factory.

I will get some pics when i get off work tonight.

With the led i bought for the rear you just kinda gotta make it work by bending the tabs. It works but isn't the correct way. O will be changing it to sjs flat panel led when i order more leds next time. I still have two other fbodys to do! Haha
