Custom LED Map and Dome lights

Dude, you should really take your meds before posting. I have been PM’‘ing with Stew since this started and reporting here so others might work out any similar issues.

I don’t waste my time responding to dicks like you. If you had come at me respectfully we’d be having a discussion. AS is GFY... Welcome to my ignore list.

 

You Checked this one? What is "none of your interior lights"? That Circuit only feeds the Ignition cylinder light, roof console box, center dome light, and the two lights in the passenger and driver side visors. Possibly the deck ligh/cargo light, but it's hard to tell from the drawings.

 

Yes I did check that fuse and what I meant by my interior lights is that I have no interior lights working

 

I checked the 7.5 amp fuse is it that one or is that the five amp fuse

 

yes, it is the one I highlighted in the picture I attached. 7.5A located under the steering wheel. It's a pain in the ass to get to and you have to basically lay on the drivers side floor to see it. Bring a flashlight with you. That is literally the only thing between the battery and your dome light. Make sure your On/off/door switch isn't set to off.

 

Bro, you were posting before he replied with pm sent- in fact same time stamp. Obviously I could be wrong because I wasn’t there in the pm but why would he post pm sent after your posts if you’d already been talking


Why am I a dick? Was it I was clarifying my original post and what I actually said or Because I was trying to confirm the “reset” button or that it was part user error (for the sake of helping others in a similar situation!)… all AFTER YOU QUOTED ME disrespectfully!

My original post wasn’t quoting you directly- it was more for everyone, you just felt offended I suppose and had to respond.

 

Was flipping the adapter 180 done?

 

My lights are arriving today and I’m scared to install it, reading these posts. Uh what would be the best way to install this minimizing or preventing the issues people are having with the lights and fuses blowing out?

 

Don't be..... User error. If you're that concerned just turn your on/off/door switch to "off" or disconnect your battery. It really isn't that complicated.

 

I got in my truck, and waited for the lights to go out. Then I very carefully removed the OE lights, and plugged in the new ones. Tested each one as it was installed, and turned everything off each time. My only issue was with the dome itself, and that was 100% my fault (negative cap went flying off), and Stew helped me out by sending replacement parts my way, gratis. Everything functions perfectly, with no blown fuses.

Just take your time, and don’t force anything. If you have to apply more than just a little force, you’re doing it wrong. Really, it was easy. Took like 10mins, max.

 

wow! loving the maps and dome upgrade. Very bright indeed! Thanks!

U got any footwell lights in plan? Or some recomendations?

 

is there an installation video or instructions somewhere in this thread?

 

I want to do the same here but plug n play with connectors and a factory mounting solution

Is there anything else I can check I checked the fuse it’s fine I turned the spring thing in the rear like both ways and it was after I put the rear light in I saw spark where I was putting it in and that’s when it went out but nothings worked since the front lights the rear like a visor lights none of them are working

 

How did you check the fuse? Did you just look at it? Sometimes they can be bad even though they look good. You should check with a meter to be sure. Also check that you didn't accidentally move the on/off/door switch in your overhead console to the "off" position.

 

Did you not make sure the switches were off first? If the switch is off and there’s no power to the lights, how would there be a spark.

 

No I don’t think the switch was off when I did it that’s definitely why I saw spark but I did pull the fuse and put a new fuse in just to make sure but like I say now nothings working in the interior lights

 

And I’m sorry yes I did check the switch to make sure that it is on now

 

Put stock bulbs back in after the new fuse? Maybe you fried the leds or a wire with that spark.

Just spit balling here

 

Literally the only other thing is this fuse, but I would be amazed if it blew before the 7.5A fuse.
