Red LED interior dome light?

I have a couple 6 inch led strips from them that I have used for this application before. They aren't bad.

 

If they are cheap I will give them a shot I love heading to autozone for parts and shit but don't trust much of anything else

 

Actually, the LED strips made by Alpena that Autozone sells are some of the best and brightest I have seen. I have a few LEDs in use on my truck.

 

Just a few haha

 

Yep, just a few, hundred or so.

 

Haha if I had the time or money I'd put leds everywhere. I'm slowly making my way toward your goal

 

I've been using a red dome light from Oznium for years. Its super bright and great for night killing your night vision. I work graveyards as well.

I couldn't find a single red LED dome light that was bright enough for me so I just cut some 12" strips into smaller sections and mounted four 4" sections inside the dome light. I also have 2 really bright red LED 194 bulbs for the map lights.

 

How did you wire them one wore on the positive metal side one wire on the negative metal side inside where the bulb goes?

 

Ya, the dome light has slowly been dimming now for the last few months. I've had it in over 5 years and its now starting to go out. They make a newer superflux led dome board that's supposed to be brighter. Might try that one next. I only run the red in the dome light and bright white for the maps. Plus I'm red/green colorblind so I feel its easier on my eyes. Being colorblind also gave me an astigmatism to light. Hence why I like working nights. lol

 

I soldered the leads of all the strips to the ends of a burnt out bulb and then installed it just as it would normally be. You can also get the festoon bulb adapters which do the same thing.

 

Oh that's smarter than what I was thinking haha my way in my head the way I was thinking was stupid
