So my mother bought a new CTS just a while ago.
Today when she was reversing I noticed she had LED reverse lights that gave off that almost HID look.
I WANT!!
Does anyone know how or if this can be done or better yet where I can get the parts that I need to do it?

 

easy man. just replace your clear reverse bulb with an LED bulb. a multi LED bulb would probably do the trick!

 

Here you go...Scroll down 921 for reverse lights

 

Thanks...thats some good info...

 

Thanks for the info guys.

One more question, I would only need to put resistors on the LED's if I were using them as turn signals, correct?

What I'm saying is I should not need to use resistors in this case.

 

You do not need a resistor in the reverse light...

 

which of those bulbs would u order for the reverse lights...i know the 921s but im not sure what version of them to get.

 

heres my reverse LEDs on my HHR

 

For all my LED needs I go to www.v-leds.com as they have the most selection and best products IMO.

I use these in my reverse lights: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

 

Do you have a pic of your reverse lights installed?

 

Had to dig through a ton of crap to find this but I do have one. You can also see them in one of my youtube videos.

Did you get your liscense plate light ther also? If so what part number is it?

They look more blue in the pics...thats kinda what I want.

 

My camera has issues capturing colors right at night, they are more white than blue but there is a blue tint to them. The plate bulb I use is a 194 flank bulb.

Thanks, its greatly appreciated

 

NCC, do you use anything for interior lighting? more specifically the dome light and maplights?

 

I have pics in my how-to thread for installing a dome light that show my LED lights.

Hmmmm? This might be my next cheap mod.

 

yea, ive been looking for leds for quite some time now, but i couldnt find the right bulbs. I also want to do the interior light, does anyone know what bulb that is??

 

^^^^^check out this:

www.sylvania.com

And go to your model/make/year of your car. It has every bulb size that is in/out of your car.

 

Thanks, are those the LED numbers or stock bulb numbers?

 

LED and stock bulbs all have the same "bulb" size. So just find what number it is, and find it on a bulb web site.

I personally use: www.superbrightleds.com

They are great and fast with shipping.

 

On the sylvania website it says the map lights are:

Map light
2825LL

I read that the map lights are 194 on this site??

 

They are, I used 194 LEDs for my map lights in the mirror and in my dome light. A 2825 bulb basically looks just like a 194, very little difference really.

 

sounds good.

Thanks

Which LED's would you recommend for the map lights?

SMT LED or the standard 6 LED bulb?

 

If you are going with www.superbrightleds.com this is what I bought.

194 4 White L.e.d.'s wedge bulb. Bright enough for me.

6 would be good too.
