LED interior lights?

[riptricket]

considering how much you have helped me... what did your strips look like... got the ebay listing?

Max,

Are you saying that if just one bulb in the mix is a regular bulb then none of the LED bulbs will glow when the Jeep is on?

Yes, that is correct.

Although i had only the front ones glowing, don't know if installing one of the rears will help. But the floor ones for sure.

Well, after skim reading this thread, It explains why my L.E.D. courtously lights I installed glow all the time!

Great post, good info here!

Thanks!

It was this listing, there are a bunch of them that look similar and i'm sure they are actually all the same. Also these are coming straight from Hong Kong so be prepared for about 2 weeks shipping.
Oh and when they ship them they are kinda rolled up and i went to unroll them and cracked one (it could be cause they sat outside in like 30 degree weather in my mailbox for hours, but it still works fine) but be sure if they seem kinda stiff use a hair dryer and after 20 seconds they become flexible.

Glad to hear you got them already and are happy with there brightness but hopefully they will resend you a new set!

Am I a nerd because I thought "ooh, surface mount leds (smd)"?

Just out of curiosity on the glow problem did anyone try adding an resistor to the circuit to see if that fixed the issue? I know when I did this in the Neon mine did the same thing and I added a resistor in line and it fixed the problem but I don't know if this is the same issue or not.

when mine get here, I will tell you if they glow... I only have the two front in. (maps)

I actually really like my glow, when people get my car they are really confused and i just say i made them that way for a nice effect at night

Mine do the same at night!
Just enough light to see the floor by but not annoying to the driver!

Yupp!
Anyone know what type of bulb goes in the sunvisor mirror light?
I noticed yesterday those bulbs were not done, so i may need to get those too!!
I also added the LED license plate bulb, a bit brighter but again i love the the true white light
