I just wanted to know if anybody have swapped out their lights for LEDs I plan on buying them from superbrightleds.com and a little be confused on the light angle to get I plan on swapping out my dome light , reverse light, license plate light, trunk light, turn signals, and maybe cornerlights and brake lamps. Basically everything. Also I plan on swapping out the 3 bulb in the hvac and wasn't sure on getting the 3mm or 5mm. I saw the diy guide in the technical forum and couldn't decide on the size bulb from superbrightleds.com

That may help you out a bit.

Edit: Oh crap, I didn't read all the way through your post and I just assumed you wanted to change your cluster. Ignore what I posted then.

Possibly the best deal on interior led lights, I put one in my trunk and the cabin of my s13 and wow is all i can say, don't look up when you turn it on, it is blinding, but awesome for late night change pickups and lost whatever on the floor. There is nothing in my car I can not see when it is on.

Quick bit of info, the shipping is slow from DX, but only because it is coming from Hong Kong, but 5-7 days is usually enough, and for these lights do remove as much of the adhesive backing as you can while still being able to stick it to reduce the heat buildup on these LEDs, they get hot and every bit of ventilation helps them.

the interior lights r nice i changed all my interior light including my cluster

ive try the brake and reverse light IMO they they look good there partly because i dont have clear lens and it look dimmer than stock bulbs

so i would stick with the stock bulb for the brake light and reverse light and the coners. just change the interior bulbs to leds
