Default LED Upgrading

I initially changed most of my lighting to LED. I kind of skimped the first time around and the light, though better, was a little on the weak side.

So I started with upgrading the reverse bulbs, went to 68 smd leds, $15 on e-bay. Moved the reverse bulbs which were 15 leds, $8 on e-bay, to the puddle lamps and the puddle lamps which were 12 leds, $6 on e-bay, went to the lower door courtesy lights. Much better output of light and the color actually got whiter in each location. I have had good luck with e-bay bulbs not one problem.

I'm really a fan of LED upgrades. It does not really matter where you buy them VLEDS vs EBAY. All of them sooner or later will get busted at some time. It really all depends on how much you're willing to shell out for the upgrades.

MEP, welcome to the bright side LEDs make a world of difference. And it's so easy to do. I went with V-LEDS myself. Post some pictures.
