Can someone make a video showing how to takes covers off and install the LED with resistor?
I'm new to resistors and don't want to break and covers as well. Thank You very much if you can upload a quick video.

I used a slim flat-head screw driver, slipped it in and carefully pride the covers off, I have red LED interior. (without resistors I believe?)

Used 194 LED bulbs from Superbrightleds. com

i used a small pocket flat head screw driver to carefully pull the clear-ish covers off. you can then remove the everyday incandescent light bulbs out. i have 194 '5k' leds from v-leds.com. i dont have resistors in my interior anywhere. i have all four dome lights converted to led also the visor mirror light bulbs converted to led. they all function properly and have havent had any issue with any of them at all.

where did you find the visor mirror bulb led at? and what bulb is it

i get all my leds from v-leds.com . i have never had a problem with quality customer service or the rare warranty claim. the mirrors take 74 style bulbs. here is the link to the leds i have in my vanity mirrors

Can someone answer me to my question from previous page... PLEASE

 

[calchr2]

FOund this http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/194-T10-168-LED-Bulb but it says 60 Lumens and 5 LEDs and 1 watt comparing to this https://www.superbrightleds.com/search/led-products/%20PERFECT%20-%204%20|%20WLED-xHP9-T%20LED%20T10%20Wedge%20Base%20Bulb%20%2012.95%20WLED-WHP9-T%20Cool%20White/ it has 35 lumen and 9 LEDs and 0.4 watt.... and price different of course, can't afford $13 ea for now... Can I still get with 60 lumens?

I think they are also good for license plate bulb replacing right? Since they are 168 ?

you can try them. they might be too long for the license lamp housing. if they are too long then the socket won't twist and lock into the housing.

does anybody know anything about the front turn signal bulb? like which led would fit in that, and if it would need a resistor?

as it sits from the factory it takes a 7442 light bulb. you can use a 7443 led. dont try to use a 7440 because you need a duel 'filament' led for the parking light and turn signal to work properly.

you will need to install a resistor to cancel out the 'ricer blink' or the rapid blink that a typical led causes unless you use a canbus ready led bulb.

two more questions, how would i know which resistor to use, and how would i install it to the led?
and 2. is the canbus ready led easy to find? like does superbrightleds sell it?

How did those work for you? I wanna get one for my plate.

I think they work pretty good. I like the light output, I used the same LEDs for the dome lights. Of course I get the error in the EVIC. which is getting kinda long now.

Liscene plate light out
Reverse Light out
Dome Light out
Left turn Signal out
Right turn Signal out

 

[Lammy]

I don't get the Dome light out message.

 

[indege]

I don't get the Dome light out message.

I don't either. I was sure it said something though. LOL.

 

[ProjectWhiteout]

194 LED in my Dome and have no error codes either..

 

[ryan1singer]

Maybe someone can help me. One of my W5W dome lights will not work now that I have put the led bulb in. I also tried to put the original halogen bulb back and it still has no power running to it. Any ideas?

Also on a side note, when the LEDs are off in the car, they still have a faint glow. Normal?

Check the button that the tab on the lens contacts to turn the light on and off. When I slid the tab back into its position I pushed the button so it wasn't making contact in the electrical circuit. To move it back into position I just tried to pry it forward till it clicked into position with a pen.

Thanks, I tried that when it happened. That's not the issue.
