Doing a FULL LED bulb swap. Only thing im not doing is the clock, climate control, and low beams.
Found 9006 Led bulbs, i want to know if anyone has played with something like that?? friends have them on their VIP cars and i kinda like it. rarely use my highs so this would be nice to have all lights on without blinding people.
Bought 16pc LED VIP Puddle lights. Was thinking about custom making clear side mirror lens' with 2 yellow LEDs for turns and 2 white LEDs for when i open my doors and unlock with alarm.
Ordered 20pcs or 194 leds. white color 5leds on one bulb. shoots 360`
3 for gauge(current leds dont cut it)
2 or sidemarkers
2 for rears
2 for courtesy lights
and the rest for my ideas
ordered 2 green and 2 white LED flexible and waterproof strips 90cm in length. will post my idea later
anyone know the replacement # for the Map 293 bulb in LED??? also the LED festoon # for the hatch courtesy light??
going to purchase 15 74 size led all white
1 for glove
1 for coin
1 for key ring
rest for gauge
anyone know if the 1157 Red LED and White and Yellow need that add on resistors??? i kinda like the Hyper-blinking with led turns. what is the 3rd stoplight bulb??
-4 yellow
-4 Red (i think, 2 each taillight)
-2 White for the backups
Confirm thats all i need for the tails and signals???
Wrap up
Exterior:
2 9006 white LED highs
front 2 yellow 1157 LED signals
front 2 194 white corners
rear 2 194 tail corners
rear 2 yellow 1157
rear 4 red 1157
rear 2 white 1157
2 194 white license plate
Interior:
3 194 gauge white
2 194 courtesy white
1 74 glove
1 74 coin
1 74 key ring
IIRC 12 74 in gauges
Ideas for the LED strips(will post later)
Change out CCFL green tubes for white 2 front and 2 rear
Still need to #size for:
MAP
Hatch festoon courtesy light
3rd Brale light
Might also try the LED Boards for the tails and Map
K after some thread searching.........long searching.....i found a post that said the BA9 bulb (LED) replaces the 293 bulb in the Map. Confirm???? cant find anywhere that cross references. vleds.com doesnt show anything
Im gonna go rip in the 3rd brake light tomorrow or something.
Moneybags... Lol. Get some pictures up for us when you get this done. I want to do all of that to my car, exact same color scheme too. Not the LED headlights, but everything else.
lolz they're on order. I took advantage of the BestBuy site error, $10 for a 52" TV, total was $135 so that's out of my bank. the headlights will be on order soon
where did you order the Led for the interior, I'm in the process of changing the interior lighting, including the clock and climate control
10 out of 10 194 leds are in!!! they came in little farraday cages too 5 led 360` directional ones are here. gonne go swap out my gauges soon as the others come in.
**update: gauges in! courtesy lime green lights replaced, license plate bulbs replaced, front sidemarkers replaced(clear lens and white led, garauntee cop magnet hahahahah). hyper white ftw!!!
nice jon.....got to c those pix....because im planning on doin lights in the future too.......shoots
You got it bra! It's more hid white than pure white, gotta turn down the dimmer switch half way
Post up or shut up...
wait for night time fool!
Go find a parking garage....like near the mcdonalds(bitch spilled my rootbeer)or something
dude there is NO clouds in the sky you cant see ****
in a parking garage that doesnt matter...
yeah it does. obviously you forgot how hawaii is already
just picture the license plate lights shining down and lighting up the whole rear bumper and the road Hahahahah
Want the SMD Chip type LEDs but those are expensive and no one had a 10pc lot on ebay. These will have to do and when night falls they bring a smile to my face
These License plate bulbs are from a different dealer so it isnt HID white, its super white, its the SMD chip LED type. The Flat bank ones so it only shines down
nice,are the courtesy lights plug and play??
baller. im doing this. well just the license plate lights
finish so i can seee!
LED strips in!!
NIOCE!!!where are those going?
Nice, dude, I'd like to see it..if you're in Kaimuki one evening give me a call, or I should say just send me a text..you're a textin fool..lol. I had no idea you were doing this, I just got my leds today! I got one white flexible strip of 9 leds, and 3 blue flexible strips of 9 leds. The white is going to be my bike license plate light, and the blue are all going around shiny stuff in my engine bay!
PArt 2 done!!! Key ring and The Secret is revealed!!
dammmm GUN SHOWWWW hahaha that is SEXY...nice mod
wow really impressed your guage cluster, 3x 194LED (5 led in 1 360*) and just white for the colour??
Looks good. I love the door panel courtesy lights. I'll probably end up doing that to my car too. Great job.
Wow! Nice job man!
I didnt think the door LEDs were gonna look good at first, but they look awesome at night!
that's a nice job, the gauges and door looks awesome, not a big fan of the green lights but an overall looks great
LED lights always do a nice job
wow, good job. I've been wanting to do LEDs too but couldn't decide on a color. this just sealed it for me. I won't be doing the purple/green look though. If you throw in some gold accents, you'll have a mardi-gras car
I'm just playin' it looks good. and i love the doors.
lolz thanks guys the green is just for that filipino acent
Wow! Looks very good man!
Keep up the good work

no probs. post pics when you're done
I've been thinking about doing a LED corner lens conversion from the new Porsche's. I hope the contour of the bumper is the same in that area, I can plastic weld the rest to make it look sweet. I have to wait for $$ though..
Did you have to sand your gauges or do anything else to get them that white?
it looks puuurty at night
dude how did you removed the lens to change the bulbs, I'm stock trying to remove those so I can go shopping and start my lights change
Hey nice lights.
How did you do the courtesy door light white?
how do you change the color of the key ring? is there a place i can go to show me how to access it?
where did you order all of these from again?
have you had any of them blow out yet?
Hey for the Lexus ES300 door lens it's hard to find.
Where did you get yours?
im part of Club Lexus Hawaii so i got hook ups
Dude that is ballin'!!
I do have some LEDs for under the dash for lighting up the feet, that I got from StreetGlow.
For any one else I used this web site to get some of my leds (dome and License Plate Lamp).
http://www.putco.com/
Then bought from...
http://www.summitracing.com
Official!!!! 1156 LED bulbs DO NOT FIT in my reverse tails location. The bulb is slightly bigger and wont fit in i could enlarge the hole a little but i dont know if water will get in. So im leaving that, i might also have to leave teh rest of the tail bulbs alone if this is the case.
plug and play its only the lens.
Hey Jon that is looking really good. I especially like the gauge lights, and those are not SMD or they are? I just looked at the pics to be honest. You did some nice work there though, I love the white.
nice
hey i really want those white leds behind the tach, how do you do that? and what size bulbs go back there? how do you access them?
LOL nope as soon as i lost sight of this thread on the first page i stopped caring.
i can confirm
look
Got some new LED boards from my friends shop.
LMK if you guys want a set. THESE ARE REALLY BRIGHT 6 SMD chip LED boards for 194 or festoon type
"Official!!!! 1156 LED bulbs DO NOT FIT in my reverse tails location. The bulb is slightly bigger and wont fit in i could enlarge the hole a little but i dont know if water will get in. So im leaving that, i might also have to leave teh rest of the tail bulbs alone if this is the case."
hey man were you able to get any led for the parking/reverse lights? if so what size and where. by the way nice led board
This would solve the problem with bulbs not fitting in the housing, and I'd rather post the idea in the thread where a lot of people have subscribed that are obviously interested in LED lighting in their celicas, just to see what everyone thinks of my idea.
Since I know how to plastic weld, I've been thinking about getting a bunch of 12v LED's and using my coupe lights as a test bed for a complete redo of the bulb housing for the lights, putting in rows of bright LED's for everything. Of course the lens would not be touched or melted at all, and since it's a modified stock taillight it would still have the DOT stamp on it. And then possibly selling mine for cash + trade for more coupe lights, and then make another set and keep making them and selling them to forum members. I would have to get a set of hatchback lights too so I could set up those. It's been on my mind for about a year now, maybe sell them for $100 a set with the trade, or maybe $150 w/o trade. I would just need to find a good place to get good LED's from. Ones that can fluctuate between 12.5 - 14.7 volts without burning out and are crazy bright. And if I can get a long enough list of people that are interested then I can buy LED's and other materials in bulk and cut cost a bit. I would of course try it on mine first and research some stable LED's to use in cars.
And I would have to figure out if I should try a design or just go with rows. For the coupe I thought about two half circles for the running lights which would get brighter for braking, and the bottom half of the circles would be 1 reverse and one turn signal, but I haven't even drawn it up to see what it would look like, that might be a bad idea all together. Maybe I could do rows, anyone have any LED placement ideas that might look good and could they can photoshop dots on a picture of the taillights of their car and email me? I'll give a discount..lol.
Whoo, late reply (:
I'm lovin that. The LED's really look better than the stupid, bulky neon tubes I have. So are those strips from Vled? I want to have door accents like that. I'm also tryin to find some in purple for under the dash and a couple other places, but I'm hesitant to use any website with no reference. And are the holding up ok? Just curious

how much of a difference is the wed 5 WED Led bulbs vs the 5 SMD Led bulbs?
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/led-vehicle-replacement-bulbs/vehicle/1999-toyota-celica--instrument-general/62-341--108181/
Get whatever spreads the light better. SMD's are better in this case with their 120 angle of view.
You can see hot spots in all colors, but some are more noticeable, so be prepared.
ah now I understand what you guys mean. the 5 SMD LED cover 360 degree and the 5 LED Wide cover 220 degree
im deciding between the 194 LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base and 194 LED Bulb - 5 LED Wide Angle Wedge Base
edit: yes box i noticed it. but why creat a new thread when this one already exists.
I guess no one else noticed the last post was 3.5 years ago.
Go with the 220, it will be many times brighter than the 360. Like I said 90% of your output is going to be wasted shining on the black insides of the housing, the lower the viewing angle the better.
