Default LED lighting for trunk, doors, tag

I got some new LED bulbs from my friend, got 1 set of 4 LED wedge style bulbs and one set of 6 LED wedge style bulbs took some pictures for you guys to compare. These are the normal hyper white type color. Its unbelievably hard to take pictures in the dark, I had to use my brothers SLR camera in manual focus so the pictures might be a tad blurry.

Door with 6 LED bulb


OEM Door Bulb


LED Tag with 6 LED Bulb Go Gators!


OEM Tag


Trunk with 6 LED bulb


Trunk with 4 LED bulb


Trunk with stock bulb


Here is a picture of the entire trunk with two 4 LED bulbs, I accidently forgot to put cover on right side. But even with it on it gets great light I really like what it does to the trunk at night. And its only a set of the 4 LED ones it would be brighter with the 6 LED bulbs.




the bulbs OEM vs After

Cool

Damn Tony you're killing me. That's exactly what I've been wanting to do. They look awesome. I also wanted to do it for the interior domes. I'm scared to break the plastic covers. What did u use flathead screwdriver??

Everything looks great, but it'd be a matter of seconds here in IL before you get a ticket for an unreadable license plate

In another picture the license tag looks brighter, but your right the angle of the LED's do make it a little bit harder to read the tag, I think they make 8 LED bulbs and I want to try those on the tag when I get them, currently I am using the stock OEM bulbs.


Oops dont email me for contact info I found out I got some proto type bulbs and these arent for sale yet The guy says that hell put together a LED kit to cover all the lights in the SC430 in about two weeks. I'll post up their new website as soon as I get it. I would expect a really good discount in buying the kit rather than individual LED bulbs.

If you guys want to purchase these LED lights send me an e-mail to tonydt1g3r@aol.com and I'll give you the purchasing info you need.
tony, do you want to just post up where people can get buy the bulbs from directly?

i like the door and the trunk (probably would wanna do the trunk) but not sure about license plate. i don't need more attention from behind

Search for

LED 31mm Dome Interior light
LED Front indicators 7440
LED Reversing 7440
LED Rear fogs 7440/7443

we dont have this LED 31mm Dome Interior light , I saw this online somewhere also and I got it but its the wrong fit. I had to order different bulbs all together for the dome light they havent come in yet. They are like mini light bulbs.
