LED interior lights WITHOUT resistor modification?

Is there a plug and play interior dome LED that does NOT require a soldered resistor to make it work properly?

I just tried to move a very bright dome array from my 2000 to my 2002 and it is giving me that dim / only works when other lamps are actuated.

I'm not interested in soldering to make it work. Hopefully, by now, someone has figured this out at the manufacturer level?

Thanks in advance.

 

Search for the "canbus" or "error free" leds. These come with resistors built in.

 

Pretty much every one out there that isn't generic is plug and play.

I got mine from O'reilly's for the LED dome light. Works great! Can't remember the brand though.

 

I bought a dome light from Wheelers - worked GREAT on my 2000 but wouldn't work on my 2002. Turns out this is super common - with the solution being to solder resistors. I don't want to order one and find the same issue.

 

The biggest bang for bucks is 3110-W10-CB. Good quality build and quite bright. With efficiency 50lm/W (about 50% goes to CANBUS waste) it is quite OK. I have this one in my 4Runner ( ).

 

Got a set at O'reilly's also but it had the dim blink then no work at all issue...glad yours worked for you

 

Low range has the 36 Led square you stick in your dome and its crazy crazy bright.

 

Shoot - now I remember - THIS is the one I have that works on my 2000 but not my 2002. I didn't get it from Wheelers - I got it from Low Range. Something changed in 2001 and this lamp does not work in the newer first gens.

 

I got a few from CARid.com. I dont recommend them as they are outrageous for mediocre at best products. The others I bought from DiodeDynamics.com

 

Is the dome light the same in both trucks? Just swap them and see if it works then. Or does the problem go further back?

 

DiodeDynamics is awesome. They are a really quality product.

 

I need CONFIRMATION that any of these suggestions will work in a 2002.

As I said, the one I got from Low Range worked super well / super bright in my 2000, but not my 2002. It is a well known issue. Bottom line - does someone know of a BRIGHT LED that will plug and play in a 2002?

Yes, I have swapped back and forth to verify its not something with the LED - its in the electric management system the 2001+ trucks have...

 

Call one of the recommended stores and ask them directly?
