this is why I just don't mess with lighting inside...unless it's as simple as twist, pull, replace, push, twist, you're done!

Quality shmality....Ford and GM got away with 0 quality for 4 years even though they said it was there.

Here;'s the light on my truck.

My impressions.. Much, Much brighter. Some may say too bright and harsh.

When I turn on my light, I want to see stuff. So this is perfect.

So I got a 6x6 LED light for my 02 tacoma, and the first night i put it in it worked fine. Then when I came out the next morning the car smelled like burnt plastic and neither the LED or original lightbulb would work. For some reason the lightbulb works when switched on but not when switched to the door relay.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

RaginCajun · 02-15-2009, 09:56 PM

Mine went out..And i tried to switch it back to the regular light on the dome light..and now my other map lights dont work and my clock says 1:00 evertime i turn my truck on...LMAO! Did i blow a fuse ya think? Now i have no lighting and the clock reads 1:00

ERdept · 02-17-2009, 02:28 PM

UPDATE:

I also bought the festoon (6led) LED that fits directly into the overhead dome light bulb socket, but although it has the interesting white LED light, it is much dimmer than this set up.

The ebay 48 LED is the way to go if you want a bright LED interior light.

Hint: If it fits loosely in the sockets, just pinch the socket flanges/arms together and the fuse should fit in fine.

06BLUEDBLSPORT · 02-18-2009, 03:28 PM

I got another Blue LED and just put it in and no connection problems or blown fuses lol, only thing is the plastic cover just bulges out a little but thats not a problem.

Veccster · 02-28-2009, 09:22 PM

Anyone find a cheaper supplier?

The 48 LED clusters on eBay are $17 shipped. It probably cost $.05 to manufacturer (parts + child labor).

Of course any lights with Made in USA stamped on it would cost $40 or more.

apkarian100 · 03-01-2009, 02:47 PM

You should make your own. Then it will last longer and be cheaper.

Will it work on the reg cab? Are the dome lights the same?

Veccster · 03-11-2009, 05:38 PM

So, yeah...how does this thing go in there?

Do I use A, B or C?

A... like everyone says, its a bit shorter than the stock bulb, but will make contact...

Veccster · 03-11-2009, 06:06 PM

Wish I would've bought blue. The white it BRIGHT!
