Anyone got any links for recommended LED interior lighting for the foot wells, And that would turn on when the dome light is on.
Maybe even cup holder LED's Here's the post: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...ml#post1260652 I'm pretty sure I saw someone with LED strip illuminated foot wells in the "What Mods/Accessories for your new GK???" thread, but I can't find the exact post. |

I just did this today, too, using the JTech bulbs that CIOWN posted. A few of my bulbs arrived DOA
Built-in current limiting resistor and diode to protect the LED from reversed polarity + - installation. (If they don't light after inserting into the socket, please insert oppositely or flip the bulb horizontally to match the + and - polarity). Also, try to pull the pins on the base outwards and sideward a little in case the bulb is slightly loose in socket. |
Can you take a photo of the interior led's you got from collegehillshonda? Are they white, or do they have blue in them? What is the brand name on the packaging? I appreciate any of your help.

I bought an overpriced kit from College Hills Honda. It came with three bulbs like the ones above plus a fourth bulb that was a flat disc with 6 LEDs all on one side. It looked like this one available on Amazon:
Amazon.com: LEDwholesalers Side Plug T10 194 wedge Base 12V 6 5050 SMD LED Warm White, 1427WW: Automotive That's the one I used for the cargo area. Both my Dad and I were very impressed by the improvement in the amount and quality of light. I was shocked at the difference really. And it made him want to install some in his Ford Escape. I recommend a plastic knife or some other straight edge plastic to reduce the likelihood of scratches. |

However, the trunk light looks like the same low powered yellow light. I wonder if something was changed later in the manufacturing runs. |

Yes, the license plate bulbs are the same "Wedge" style bulb. The bulbs I used from the license plate are from the same 10-pack I used for the interior. I'll post a How-to here in the next couple days on the process. Its easy.
Here's a couple photos from when I did the license plate: The brightness is perfect. Not too bright, not too dark. Just kinda "glows" https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2923/...65e25a62_z.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5570/...df3ab927_z.jpg You're in Kirkland?! I am in Mount Lake Terrace |
Do these lights dim till they turn off or stay on all the time in dim mode?

Removing the lenses (covers)
I installed LEDs tonight - map, dome, and cargo. Even though I studied the images provided by the OP, I was hesitant because I didn't want to break the lenses. So I googled and found this link. It is not specific to Fits but apparently Honda installs like parts in its other models.
|
Thanks for the post for the lights. Looks awesome.
|
Thanks so much! Very easy installation and great results!
|
Just wanted to say thanks for all the info on this thread. I was able to upgrade all the interior, license plate and front corner lamps to LED. The hardest ones were the license plate. Mine just wouldn't budge but I kept at them and they finally moved to the right. I took off my plate as well to give me just a little more room to work.

Ordering now!

So, do the LED map lights flash quickly (not even slow enough to fully illuminate) for anybody else?
If so how did you eliminate this? I got the College Hills kit. The flash is very subtle and hard to duplicate... |

What led bulb(s) is everyone using to replace factory interior lights?
|
If anyone else is still watching this thread. Do not buy the Jtech LEDs from Amazon. Ours are already flickering on and off after a year of use

-Agreed. I'm the OP on this one and I've had the exact same issue. Its been a little over a year and I've replaced half of them due to the flickering. Currently replacing with the extra's I had from the original install but want to find a good replacement.
Anybody have recommendations? I'll update the original post with your guys recommended brands. Links would be great. EDIT: Phillip's has a sub page which shows which LED's they have. Apparently they have 194's which we need for the license plate and cargo Here is an I'm considering and here are the Phillips ( http://philipsautolights.factoryoutl...m=127996000KB2) |
I installed these superbrightleds.com bulbs (194 bulb - 15 smd): LINK
They state 100 lumens (but I haven't been able to correlate lumen numbers to actual brightness vs incandescent brightness). To me, it feels like they are just a little brighter than stock (on a GK), but not much more. I did choose a warm white color though, since my wife prefers it. They fit and work fine otherwise. Thanks to the OP for the inspiration! I'd like a very bright dome light solution but I'm not sure I've found it yet. |
Has anyone found a bright to very bright LED bulb they're happy with?
|
Just realised I was the last to post here almost a year ago! Any updates?
