I think a set I ordered came from there as well. It actually shipped faster than I was expecting. The seller must have jumped on the shipment.childs_br wrote:I am still waiting for my led lights i ordered them on ebay 2 weeks ago.

Ah well. I have to purchase more bulbs for the temperature controls so I'll wait until I get those in, then try and fix the connection for the other ones. I got some T3 neowedge bulbs for the switches as well. Mine were too big also so I carefully pulled the bulbs out of the plastic housing and did the same on the original ones and put the new bulbs in the old housings. Its a bit of a pain but it worked out for me.I had to do the same thing with the AC control bulbs (there's 2 of them) and they are T4 neowedge bulbs.i have 5 T3 lights for the 3 switches to the left of the steering wheel. i got them at SuperbrightLEDs.com but they are very cheaply made and the plastic molding is barely too big, i think its because they are so cheap...
#74 bulbs are also known as T5 bulbs. When I ordered mine off ebay I did not have a problem with them fitting though. You may have to order some different ones? The bulbs for the guages (4 of them) are T10 bulbs and I recommend getting a quality superbright bulb, as some of the cheap-o bulbs aren't bright enoughi also have 8 #74 LED's. i have 2 installed in my turn signals and they work great but again they are a tight fit because of the crappy molded plastic... they don't work for the clock and odometer screens though...
The cigarette bulb is also a T5 bulb (non-neowedge like the switch bulbs) and it just pops in. There is another spot for a bulb on the right side of the gearshifter for the P-D-R-1-2-3 (if automatic) that uses a T5 bulb as well.also how did you rig up the cigarette lug and the ash tray lights? i was wondering if anybody knew of a better LED and exactly what sizes and how many ill need. thanks
I had a fairly hard time getting them out. I actually broke one of them. I had to wiggle them a little bit left to right and just pulled on them. I got them off ebay but they didn't come from a store like the other ones I bought. They were kind of a one time deal so I jumped on it.Danfzzl wrote:how the heck did you get the bulbs out of the T3's? the ones i have wont even budge! did you get those neo wedge T3's on ebay or somewhere else?
Hmmm... LED's usually last a very long time. i think you either had a bad connection (like your LED isn't twisted into the control panel all the way) or you just got some really cheap LED's that were made hastily and are cheap. id suggest spending an extra dollar or two and get a few high quality LED's. so far with my dash conversion i've changed my turn signals and the 2 screens for my odometer and clock. I'm waiting on the LED's to finish the conversion... hope i get um soon!childs_br wrote:Well the 2 of the bulbs on the dash started to flicker and now they went out tonight. I wonder if that is a common problem with leds, That they don't last long? I ordered them from hong kong so i am wondering if i should order them from somewhere else.
+1 There aren't many options for the T5 bulbs but I know T10 bulbs have quite a variety of quality. The ones I got seem to hold up pretty well, but always order an extra one or two just in case.id suggest spending an extra dollar or two and get a few high quality LED's.
