Dome light LED bulb that actually works right.

They work fantastic, I had them installed since last week and no issues.

 

here are the dome lights on superbrightleds...

the 1st one looks like csjumpers and the oversized one at the bottom looks like the other one i tried that didn't work

this one worked fine in my truck.

 

i thought i found a solution to this over on ttora a while ago

 

sweet... how bright is it? for $3 who cares?! haha



edit: looks like they are sold out. here are more that look the same but you get 2... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-31mm-12-...=400259539886&ps=63&clkid=6097014934450121333

 

its pretty bright. Not as bright as the higher dollar LED bulbs, but its definitely brighter than the stock bulb, and the light is that nice clean white LED color.

 

sounds good i bought a pair. i'll let you guys know if it works when i get them

 

I've been researching this issue why some like dougs are working fine and some post 00s are having issues. I found that the dimmer feeds off of resistance that the factory bulb uses thus controling the amount of power sent to the bulb to turn it on. Dougs doesn't have this and his pop on right away and dont dim. The key is to add resistance to the led as the factory has. I'm going to try out my new theory when I hook back up with taco elmo.

Thanks

awesome... i guess the lights i got coming from ebay will be useless as well

 

I went to my local advance auto parts store here in kentucky and I got a led square that will fit many different dome lights with a connector type deal and its works flawlessly with the truck on of off when the doors open and by the switch and its really bright. And the brand was Dome Litz (ps sorry for no periods I'm texting and driving)

 

this thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/te...comes-when-map-lights-turned.html#post4009069 might be of some help..

It seems like JLEE and PSU Taco85 have some insight into how to fix this but I couldn't really follow .. mayb someone in here can make heads or tails of it

 

i bought one of these and it works perfect and its way brighter than one i bought off superbrightleds.com a while back. for under $3 its worth the chance and ive had zero problems with it.

I have a 2003 Taco and here is how I fixed the LED light issue. I had a problem with my dome light not coming on with an LED in it. I had to turn the key to the "ACC" position or turn one of the dome lights on to get the dome light to work (WEIRD STUFF). Here is the fix:

1- buy x4 1w 100olm resistors

2- solder x1 resistor to each of the map light bulbs.

3- solder x2 resistors to your dome light bulb (you cold probably buy a bigger resistor but this is what worked for me).

This fix allows you to have LEDs in your TACO. Hopefully this helps. Pics to follow soon.

NOTE: When putting LEDs in the are polarized so they only work in one direction. You may have to switch them around to get them to work.

 

just bought one..worth a try even if it takes a month to ship from hong kong

1- buy x4 1w 100olm resistors (Radio Shack)

2- solder x1 resistor to each of the map light bulbs.

3- solder x2 resistors to your dome light bulb (you cold probably buy a bigger resistor and reduce it down to one, but this is what worked for me).

anxious for pics.. hope this works for me too sounds easy enough..

 

I did this tonight but I used a single 1W 100ohm resistor on the dome and it works like a champ.

 

do u hook that resistor in directly with the hot wire or what?

 

yeah itll take a month but its worth it, lol

 

I soldered it directly accross the connectors on the bulb, so basically from one end to the other. You can see it works first just by taking a full lenth resistor without clipping the wires and jumper it accross the led bulb while its still in the socket. Just connect one end of the bulb to the other.
