I wanna LED my vert dome light...

[Cha Ching]

But it's a bulb with no # on it...Books say it should be a 6411, but it's something else, anyone have any ideas what it is?

I LED'd my trunk and it really didn't make anything brighter, just gave the light a bluish tint. I may add another for additional light.

that bulb is a halogen bulb, around 15. fr pelican or the local dealer. Dont touch it w/ your bare fingers, just like headlight bulbs. good luck! Let us know what you get to work in there....!

Don't expect much more of a light increase....

[thereisnoyun]

This is the info you need :)

- the bulb is 10 dollars + ... retardedly expensive
- led will not work, I tried one, and it doesnt want to light up. Current issue? I dont know.
- you can find the bulb on e36s. GL

or, take your ass to autozone, bring the bulb with you

and just match the size to a small dome bulb in the lighting section

i got 2 for $1.99 and they are 10W

I tried to wire up LEDs into my dome light too, then same thing with the trunk lights. I obviously missed something about the conversion, but discovered that basic electrical knowledge > me, so ended up tabling both for now.

What about wiring in something completely new & out of the ordinary? My Lexus GS300 has 2 courtesy ligts so damn bright it's unbelievable. I mean, I know the e30 is 20 yrs old, but how about a little consideration? It's like a friggin' black hole even when the light comes on! It looks pathetic, like the battery is about to die...

doesnt bavauto sell led domelight bulbs?

[Cha Ching]

doesnt bavauto sell led domelight bulbs?

They do, I just checked. I would love to do some sort of 6-panel LED in place of the wimpy, incandescent bulb. I might have to hit up a "rice" shop!...:hitler: (i just wanted to use the Hitler smiley...)

I installed the bavauto 6-led light in my vert, it's bright and works great. simple and excellent mod.

The website stinks when it comes to trying to link to stuff, here's a link to the pic:

I was pretty satisfied so I bought 2 of the 12 LED ones for the hardtop dome lights. They are very bright and have a sharp white color, very nice. I'm sort of considering measuring to see if I can fit a 12 in the smaller dome light of the vert, but since that one is more in-your-face I think i'll just pass and not get blinded. The 6 is plenty.

2 thumbs up. If they weren't so expensive I'd put those damn things EVERYWHERE.

Good to know the LED domelights work well, I was considering buying them. The vert dome lights are smaller than the coupe and sedan ones right? So I would need the 12 led for my coupe?

So the 6 led for verts? The pics shows various led bulbs, which one do you get?

They're not actually bulbs, they just look like it. The actual LEDs are in the top left corner of that picture, the bulb looking things are just for carrying power to the wires.
