My "new" mods

[Vinman]

I just put these in a few days ago..I've had them since june and I haven't been able to put them on until recently...just wondering what everyone thinks of 'em or if anyone else has them...

also, has anyone know where I can get a colored version of this light bulb? its for the rear dome map lights, I just put a blue light as my main dome ( looks more white), and blue lights in the driver and passenger foot wells (look more green which works out seeing as my car is green). I can't really afford leds nor do I know how to really work with them..never have before...

its a 194 bulb u need to break that bulb out of there

[Vinman]

thanks i'll try that...the guy at auto zone said it doesn't come apart...and I don't believe him for a second.

[pawzbear]

yeh... autozone = retards

[troyertrain]

they also have different gel covers for those bulbs if you would like to go that route. they just slip on over the bulb, and they come off easily if you want to change back...

bulb condems are gay and it can be a pain to get those bulbs out i did it behnd my guage cluster

[cherrington17]

mine all popped right out, if you push from the bottom w/ something that fits in the small hole. i just used a small screwdriver. there isn't much holding them in, besides pressure.

but www.superbrightleds.com also has some bulbs that fit.

[meadus101]

Technically, it's a 195 bulb. Which is a 194 bulb in a holder. I was a bit afraid of cracking them out of the holder to change my dash colours.

[Cliff8928]

AutoZone also sells the holders separate from the bulbs as well. That one-piece bulb can also be referred to as a PC194.

[pimpalero2003]

i actually busted all mine

[cavaliers60]

I busted all mine up too. haha Good times...

[cherrington17]

i didn't bust a single one of mine. they just pop out for god's sake. why break them??

Good call. I changed those rear dome light ones to red bulbs and it was just a fiddly bit of work to have them come out.

[Vinman]

hey is there something I'm missing? because these things are really in there..I've been using a small flat head screwdriver (like one that comes with an eyeglass repair kit) and I just switched to using an allen head wrench that just fits in the hole, and the damn thing aint budging....I mean one bulb is fairly loose from the holder...I can wiggle it from side to side and thats it...and the other one is firmly in place...I don't want to break these out unless I absolutely have to....

[Vinman]

ok so the one that was firmly on just came off with no problem.....o....k.....

[Vinman]

wow...nevermind......

[cherrington17]

de.....dede


:emotlol:

[Vinman]

ok, so i just went to install them, and they are being a real pain in the @$$ to put back in..I guess I'll try tomorrow when I have light...but now one of them doesn't want to work, the bulb it self is fine...maybe I'll just go with leds and learn a few thing or two...

[cavaliers60]

I replaced the bulbs in my rear mirror, but for some reason the connectors decided they wanted to move around on me, and now one light doesn't work, and the other one is stuck facing the wrong way (they are LEDs that face one direction)..... Can't wait to actually get the interior recoverred with new fabric...

[Vinman]

hey does anyone know the festoon size for the dome light? I'm guessing its the one thats 44mm..but I'm not sure...I'm in the process of getting leds..just hope i can get the one thats not working to work with the leds....

ok, to slowly get back on topic....I got the leds yesterday and put 'em in, I'll post a pic of what they look like tonight. My only problem is, that I got leds for the two map lights in the dome, but now both don't work, and they don't want to sit properly (I'm talking about the blue holder that contains the bulbs) I'm guessing I effed them up pretty good, but there's no glass from the old bulbs or do they look bad, maybe i bent the tabs and now they're no good... Does anyone have a couple of these lying around and are willing to get rid of em? or is there a trick i can do to get the 194 leds to work without the "holders".....

and later on to complete the look, i'll be huntin for an intrigue gls mirror..and I'm sure swaping the leds on that shouldn't be too hard...
