Is there anyway to get to the bulbs that are in our mirrors? (GLS) Its their time for the new LEDs!

i traded my 194's in my rearview for 2 9LED Bars. :thumbsup: it looks sweet

eag182 · 03-13-2005, 08:08 PM

Ok I popped the cover off but they are not 194s. I havent taken them out yet but I'm sure theyre 212-2s like in the dome.

03-13-2005, 08:24 PM

Yeah, they are the same as the dome, atleast mine are anyway.

they're not 194's, but they're the same thing.

there are like 4 bulb numbers that are basically the same. i put 194's in mine, and they worked fine. i had to use needle nosed pliers to pull them out.

not physically. physically 194 is way off. But that asides, I think 3 leds per will do. Might not be to easy getting them in tho.

maybe yours is different then. not a 99 im guessing.

eag182 · 03-14-2005, 01:38 AM

I have a 99

And rev, I was thinking of something like this, with a small perfboard of 3 leds in series (somehow)affixed between the cylindrical contacts of the 212-2 with pos wiring wrapped around one contact and neg. wrapped around the other.

dude, i totally thought you meant the map lights in the rear view mirror, but from your drawing i'm thinking you meant the vanity lights?

eag182 · 03-14-2005, 02:05 AM

You are correct in what you originally thought.

leds in the vanity lights?

you slay me

FormulaNERD · 03-14-2005, 02:10 AM

you seriously have 212-2's in your map lights under the rear view mirror??????

eag182 · 03-14-2005, 02:17 AM

I just took a quick glance and it was dark out but I thought they were....and flalero said his were...so I assume they were. Ill have to check again tomorrow. You sure they were 194s?

FormulaNERD · 03-14-2005, 02:27 AM

yea dude, mine were the same 194's found everywhere else... i replaced them with hyper whites so they werent all yellow when i had them on looking for/at certain items.

maybe we have different mirrors? but i know mine were 194s cause i changed them... lol

eag182 · 03-14-2005, 02:36 AM

Maybe its the late hour thats gotten to me. We'll find out tomorrow.

03-14-2005, 09:44 AM

Yeah, I went and double checked. The bulbs in the mirror are the same as the dome light. Weird that they would change that from 99 to 00.

eag182 · 03-18-2005, 06:57 PM

Spring Break! ...has given me time to do this:

Well, the 99 gls mirror bulbs are def 212-2's. Rev, I just have your simple, basic Leds so I affixed some stripboard to the 212 contacts (I shattered the glass/filament out) and well you can pretty much assume how the Leds are going to go.

Screamin eagle · 03-18-2005, 08:35 PM

not to poo on your do it yourself but you know you can buy those for like 5 bucks right?

Oh and the bulbs in my 99 are 212s also.......

eag182 · 03-18-2005, 08:43 PM

Well my leds are more powerful and cost half as much.
