[dz93]

hey guys according to this thread from the interior lighting sticky(http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28472).....
it says the maplight bulb size is 293. just to double check, is the map light the light that is positioned on the roof above the front/centre of the car.

This is the site I use to find all of my lighting info, since its a US site the exterior light numbers might be different (I know the JDM tali lights are different but I am unsure about the Australian lights) but I am pretty sure the interior lights will be the same....

Sylvania

I completely took out the bulb in mine. I bent / cut the metal that holds it in, out. I spliced the wiring so the metal has no power going to it. Then, I bought a LED board that had blue LEDs on it, and stuck it in there. Wired it in it and it's 10x brighter than a bulb would be! It lights the whole front half of my car up

that sounds sick, and where did you get this led board, this sounds tempting

Well I'm not sure if you have them over in Australia, but I bought mine in the US at Autozone for about $15 to $20 US.
You might be able to find them online though!

I'm doing the same with mine but with red LEDs do you have any pics

[mkernz22]

I don't but I can easily get some in a few days!

yh pics would be great!

I am not sure if you can find them online(I bet you could) but there are kits that they sell here in Japan that you can get that use an adapter that can plug into 4-6 different types of light sockets and then connects to an LED board so you don't have to hard-wire anything. (Safer and more reliable that way). I will try to find my packages and post pics for you but if you check this link out, there are pics of my map lights that I used. they are blue and a board of 9 LEDs. They are bright (as in light up the entire cabin and almost hurt your eyes but you don't lose your night vision) but the pics don't really do them justice.

Bam!

[dz93]

[SupraKid]

you splice them in.

[eboz74]
