kind of stupid..but i want it..

[nismobenzo]

i cant hardly see anything with the interior light i have..id be better of carrying a flashlight at night than using it..these look pretty cool-anyone have some s*** to talk about them??

i personally dont think theres anything stupid/gay about being able to actually use your dome light efficiently without having to whip out my cellphone light ha

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, buy LED dome lights. I have one and I haaaaaaaaaate it. It hurts my eyes and gives off really s***ty light.

Mine is a custom made circuit board with 9 LEDs in it.

[duffman1278]

That's your problem, you only did 9 LED's, thats useless try 20.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

16 was the most I was able to fit. MGE has the one with 16 LEDs in his car and it's just a bright as mine.

Not to mention I was just messing around with mine. I used 9 3mm LEDs on mine and used 16 5mm LEDs and they're the same.

If you want to hurt your eyes trying to look at s***, get LEDs. I personally with I would have kept my original one.

[nismobenzo]

hmm..do they have stock replcement white bulbs then?that dull old yellow light just doesnt cut it

[mrgreeneyes]

but they look SO cool

lol.

functionality is decreased. cool color temp is increased.

weigh it out

[duffman1278]

They don't hurt my eyes at all.

[nismobenzo]

They don't hurt my eyes at all.

soo duffman.. u have the 20 led set up and its better than stock??its only on when the doors open so hurting my eyes?? im not a vag habeing better than stock is all i care about..higher color temp=better visibility i assumed

i had 1 in my car that had 25 leds and i loved it you could literally see everything if your in your car alot at night it comes in handy.

i wonder what the most i could fit..but 20-25 seems legitthanks for the positive input fellas..are they like the kind/style i have pictured?

[Japakaze]

you should try thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

[LayNLow240]

I made my domelight with 33 5mm led's in it. I am going to remake one for my other 240 using superflux's for better light. But that kit doesnt look too bad. Give it a try.

[simmode1]

Not sure if you saw this, but this might help if you decide to do it...zerothread/242571

But I'm pretty sure someone did a DIY led write-up for this, but I can't find it...

I've also seen someone do an LED kick panel light, too. Maybe you should keep your bulb dome light and put LED's in the foot wells...

[Ninjamasta]

There is a reason why dome light are not suppose to be bright at all.If you have LED turned on while driving, you might not be able to see anything for a few seconds or longer. Your eyes takes some time to recover and adjust to light condition during night time.

[keith0486]

if you gotta use the dome light while driving then something wrong thats just what i think.

[numbnuts240]

i rock a blue led bulb in my dome light. i actually want to change my map light to a white led setup. i have dark tints and it would help to see my cd's better when i need different tunes.

[fiznowler]

I was thinking about doing this in my 240 the stock light sucks ballz!

[adrianfromthecastle]

since we're on the topic of LED dome lights...

here's mine. A company called Luxer1 makes it.http://www.brm21.com/US/index2.html

here's a pic of my car, circa 2007ish

[numbnuts240]

see? that's what i'm after for my map light. thank you for the link good sir.

[JSDEVILDOG29]

Thats what I'm looking for. My cabin is dark as hell due to my tint and dark interior.

[adrianfromthecastle]

lol... for some reason, my car doesn't sense my door being closed when I hit a hard bump on the road..

so at night, if I have my dome light on auto-on, its like lightning when I hit bumps at night.

That's because your car knows you're rice, and how often you thought it would be cool to have a disco light in there. Or, it's the curse of the vert.

I joke, my trunk is like that. You can try adjusting the striker plate to pull the door tighter to the body. It could also be that there is flex in the chassis. Hopefully it's just the door adjustment though.

its definitely flex in the chassis...

only started happening after my first track day.

[mrodrig2]

Wander over to the Altima Coupe interior forum. This is a huge fad with the new owners but from the pics some of the LEDs are actually really bright. A lot of people got their's from VLEDS.

[Dire91]

I've been looking all over for this! Thanks adrians_s13, btw nice interior

[adrianfromthecastle]

no prob guys.

BTW, I also have their LED wedge bulb on my front position lamps (jdm chuki turn signals)... and by far they are the brightest manufactured led wedge bulbs I've ever seen.

[hilux30]

I have one like in that first picture but its a board with stock ends to fit in the dome light connection. I like it. U have to get the new gen SMT LED bulbs if you want white, super bright just dont stare at it

[nismobenzo]

my thoughts exactly..you are supposed to be PAYING ATTENTION to the road when you drive..not farting around with ur dome light and such

thanks for all the good links/pics/info

this will defiantly be my next [frivolous] buy lol

making custom led lights is not what im tryin to do tho..first of all..cus a bunch of leds is f*cking rice i just want to be able to see whats in my backseat at night for once lol

i wonder if they just make hyper white stock replacements..brighter than stock but not "blinding" like the leds

definatly wanting the bright ayss dome light tho ha

adrians_s13--do u know how many leds are in your setup??i saw a kit with led replacement for my dome/trunk light-$20 for both

[kc240guy]

yeah, when I had a vert for drifting my dome like would come on in a slide.

[simmode1]

Well, maybe your passenger needs more light...
