Default Red LED lights

Anyone have any pics of red LEDs to replace the interoir lighting? I'm thinking of replacing all the bulbs w/ red LEDs except the map and dome lights would be white LEDs. I tried searching but couldn't find anything, just a bunch of blue LED set-ups. Thanks, Steve.

LEDGuages just stopped carrying them because he didn't think they were bright enough. It blows because it was right around when I wanted to order some and he still hasn't found new bulbs to meet his standards.

That is partially incorrect. I purchased a red interior kit (Speedo, HVAC panel, Headlight switch, Doors) just a month ago. Also the red kit is still available on the site.

The only ones that he will not sell in red are the Map and Dome lights because they are too dim.

I purchased some from a non-sponsored site but I chose white for the maplights and red for the courtesy. They map lights are incredibly bright and they do offer them in red so they should work. I will snap some pics tonight.

If you check out sylvannia.com and look up what existing lamps you have in your vehicle...you simply match them to the offered products. Such as a 194 lamp can be swapped for an LED version which uses the same base as the original lamp. The trick to narrowing down which configurations you want is by analyzing where the lamp is going, orientation and if it uses a reflector or not.

I snapped some pics of the interior LEDs that were plug and play but they came out crappy (too dark). I tried messing with the settings but it wasn't happening. They really do look great in person. I will try to get them tomorrow.

That looks pretty good, but are there some dark spots? or is it just how the picture came out? Very cool!

I think there are a couple spots that are darker than the rest, but if you look at my "before" pic, it was actually worse when it was the stock bulbs. I think it is my cluster itself.

In person you cant really tell unless you sit and stare at it, the camera just shows everything!
