Mirror Lights

[eag182]

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

[FormulaNERD]

yea, cake. they're 194's. and the plastic cover pops right off.

have fun.

[Sno]

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

[eag182]

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.

[flalero]

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.

[eag182]

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.

^ yet another problem I am having with my interior LED's

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

[eag182]

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]

You are correct in what you originally thought.

leds in the vanity lights? :lol: :lol:

you slay me

[FormulaNERD]

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

[eag182]

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]

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]

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

[flalero]

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]

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]

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]

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

[eag182]

Here's the difference.

Now onto the cubby light. Just how do I get to this thing?! :blink:

[VCguy85]

I tried to get the lights out of my rear view mirror and cracked the glass ;) dont ask how but yeah i need a new rvm now

remove the shifter, shifter bezel, and pull out the radio bezel, and you'll see how to pull out the bulb on top of the cubby.
