[EURO] LED dome+door lights installed

[stephen8512]

Hey guys
I purchased some superwhite LED's for my door and my dome lights. All I can say is that its just awesome. sure it does absolute jack in terms of performance, but oh well. hehe i like it. i also changed the rear numberplate lights to whtie LED. (the lil lights at the back that come on when u have ur headlights turned on)
Got em from EBAY for a total for about 30 bucks. pretty damn good value if u ask me. they look awesome. will post pics up soon. very busy atm :wave:

[Ajay-GD]

[PERTH_EURO]

Mine is riced up to the max with LEDs that are fully controlled and can be set to a choice of 2 million colours.

I like pretty lights.

[jl88rl]

Nice!

Hey stephen what type of bulbs are the number plate ones??

[PERTH_EURO]

good work steve :thumbsup:

[stephen8512]

Nice!

Hey stephen what type of bulbs are the number plate ones??

hey jlr88rl
the number plate bulbs are the same as your parker bulbs/door lights
so basically ur number plate bulbs can fit in ur parker lights or ur door lights. they use the same type of bulb. so the type of LED u can fit on them can fit the door lights and the parkers

[jl88rl]

Wow... i wouldve never thought they were. Was it just a simple slide and detach to get to those number plate bulbs ?

[jl88rl]

So are all the lights the same led wedge type?

[evolution42]

do the LED's still fade in/out like the original bulbs?

[stephen8512]

do the LED's still fade in/out like the original bulbs?

yes they do

[Pum[Z]]

What about the Map lights Stephen... Are they Festoon Dome bulbs or the wedge type bulbs??

[stephen8512]

the map lights are festoon dome lights.
1pc Festoon Dome 31mm 6 LED (Xenon White) Bulb (u get 1 in a pack)

and the door lights + rear #plate lights are wedge bulbs
2pcs T10 168 194 4 LED (Xenon White) Wedge Bulb (u get 2 in a pack)

so i ordered 2x wedge bulbs and 3x festoon bulbs (2 for front 2 maplights and 1 for the back seat lights)

also, sometimes when u install the bulbs, even though they may be in, the light may not turn on. when this happens, just flip the bulb over and put it in the other way. then it should work. just trial an error

[stephen8512]

Wow... i wouldve never thought they were. Was it just a simple slide and detach to get to those number plate bulbs ?

check ur manual. its pretty simple relaly.

[stephen8512]

here u go fellas. the rear licence plate lights

[VirIIx]

oooh very sexy mate :)

[Usual Suspect]

wtf?

[Victor1982]

my car got that too! looks good !

[REV888]

I think I may just pop onto ebay now Stephen and order some LED's

[BiLL|z0r]

Nice, but are they that much brighter?
I'm not usually into ricey things anymore but it may still have some function if it lights up the car more.

[Chris_F]

hey stephen... how the hell did you install those things? I've fiddled around with my light housings in the interior before and they don't seem like they wanna budge.

I think the lights look good, but if i do it i'll make sure to leave some of the interior lights as normal light bulbs becuase led's dont really light up the area aswell ay?

[EuroAccord13]

WOOT!

I've done my ordering too! Got myself the Interior Festoon lights, Courtesy lights, Tail Lights, Brake Lights, Boot Light, Reverse Lights, Indicator Lights, Park Lights (To try out if they are better than my Philips White Parkers) THE LOT... Except for the Brake Light that is integrated with the Tail Light, that hasn't been available yet :(...

[stephen8512]

hey stephen... how the hell did you install those things? I've fiddled around with my light housings in the interior before and they don't seem like they wanna budge.

hmm well, with the front 2 dome lights, read ur manual and use a thin screwdriver to pry open the outer case to get to the festoon. same with the rear light. the side lights, again same deal, use the screwdriver to pry it open as per manual.


I think the lights look good, but if i do it i'll make sure to leave some of the interior lights as normal light bulbs becuase led's dont really light up the area aswell ay?

yeah this is correct. yellow light disperses more useable light than white. but the LED's i got are quite bright and decent and doesnt lose THAT much more light. but just in case, i kept the light thats on the vanity mirror yellow.

I kept all mine stock however made the door lights (the ones when u open the door) red LED.

So its very european looking + safer - usually.

Idea stolen from Adammet04 lol

[TRaNz]

whtie makes things harder to see tho.. ?


No blue does. all my in-car lights are all blue except the vanity lights, But yeah, with blue lights all round it looks nice, but takes forever to read one word, unless i use the vanity lights.....LOL. yeah i did it 4dlulz.

Sorry to dig up an old thread guys, but I relly need help in removing the overhead map lights. I have read the thread and also the manual. It says to "Pry" on the outer edge with a small screw driver. I do that but they still do not budge. Please can I get a step by step from someone who has done this please.
Basically I need to remove the whole overhead console as I am looking to route my wires for my Auto Dim Rear View mirror in there also.

Please help!

[Crapdaz]

you pry one side then pry the other side and it should clip out.

don't forcefully or you snap the casing hooks.

stick flathead vertically up into the slot, then pry towards your direction.

[doosra]

i got the white led's as well for the centre lit in the roof and the doors. i got them locally at a place called Tougetune in Rydalmere. The centre one i have is better than the one shown in the picture as it comes with I believe 8 LED's rather than the 4 and it is bloody bright !!!!

they are absolutely awesome, especially at night when you're walking to your car and you use the keyless entry. It has this awesome glow and because my interior is beige, it brightens up so much more..

[Euro858]

My dome lights has 12 LEDS!! its super bright! I also did my courtesy door lights too but you will notice they begin to flicker sometimes with vibration or if someone SLAMS your door very hard...e.g pissed GF HAHA!! Easy way to rectify the flickering is to bend the metal wires diagonally rather than vertically... Don't push the courstesy door lights too hard as the socket within the door will push through!! its happend to me before!

[shakkas]

so going to do that in my euro! plan is tomorrow and tackle it and change all the interior lights

knowing how retarted i am, i will prob snap them off. fingers crossed

[shakkas]

finally found some leds and got them installed, will post pics later on.

all i can say its bloody bright and bit of fun

[sil1580sx]

I did mine on the weekend, looks sexy! White LED is better than the stock yellow.

[aiball]

made the mistake of buying single smd led bulbs... poor light output, can't see at all....

[j450n74y]

hi there
wasn't sure if its a normal thing, but bought a 2nd hand euro, and when the roof lights (spotlights where you have the compartment for your sunglasses), is set to 'door' only one lights on (the drivers side).

They both work fine manually by pushing it in and out, but the door only works for the rear and drivers side spot light but not the front passenger spotlight.

(94 euro luxury)

thanks

[xxb4xx]

Hey guys I thought I should jump in here,

I have changed the following to LED in the Euro

- Brake Lights
- Tail Lights
- Blinkers in the rear
- 12 SMD boards for all interior lights, front and back
- Front parkers
- Rear License plates lights
- Both front door courtesy lights

The only normal globes left in the car are dash and front headlight blinkers :)

The car looks like a footy stadium at night, and they are all MEGA bright.

[asxu]

A bit of a stupid question, but how do you remove the "covers" for the rear license plate lights? I need to replace the LED that came with the car as it seems to be blown and I can't figure out how to get the plastic cover off.

[JN7]

hey mate, you need to pry i think 3 to 4 clips. so use a flathead with a piece of cloth over it and pry out the clips and then wriggle the case off. check your manual if you have it

[curtis265]

Sweet as. I might be doin similarly too.

[xxb4xx]

You can also get to them from the inside of the boot.

[asxu]

You can also get to them from the inside of the boot.

That's what I tried, but I don't want to molest it too much just yet.

[xxb4xx]

haha, the hardest ones to change are the parkers..

I pulled out the wheel arch splash cover, and had to get to them from there.. stupid Honda and there bad design.

[curtis265]

ebay's the shiz for LED's

[nxn75u]

here some pics of my done job, bit of fun and def more brighter



Hey bro, u got your lights from ebay? i love the ones on the side doors..

[euro1603]

A bit of a stupid question, but how do you remove the "covers" for the rear license plate lights? I need to replace the LED that came with the car as it seems to be blown and I can't figure out how to get the plastic cover off.

Have you check your car manuel ? it has step by step guide... you will need to remove your license plate first, then carefully remove the cover that is over both of the plate lights.. from there you should be right.. if you don't have the manuel i can take some photos and post them here for ya..

[shakkas]

Hey bro, u got your lights from ebay? i love the ones on the side doors..

nah i got it from autojoy store. they had some led for sale in the sizes i wanted.

i found a spare led and just put in my new car. pure white kicks ass over over shitty amber

its in parramatta on george st. near the westpac if that helps?

[nxn75u]

@ shakkas: thx man.. it does help.. I'll just go around there and search... thx mate... yea your lights looks really bright..

[furythree]

I buy all the time from this website
http://dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.712
they cheap as chips with free international shipping. Sometimes ebay sellers are drop shippers who use this site. Otherwise ebay sellers are genuine manufacturers and cheaper than this site. Either way this site has everything at great prices

Ive never heard of an LED parker until last week, but would any of the items on that page be one?

[denot]

its in parramatta on george st. near the westpac if that helps?

There's another one @ castle hill as well

[shakkas]

There's another one @ castle hill as well

nah that was the original one and they moved to parra. it shut down. wished it was still there it was only 10 mins away from me

[revivor]

has anyone installed an white LED daylight strips on their Euro (like those on the new Audi) eg. http://www.wafflepod.com/ebay/ledstrip/FW_Strip/12.JPG
http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/9/1/5/5/6/4/webimg/292827476_o.jpg?nc=175
just wondering how it looked on an Euro.

[actcueuro]

Have any of you guys installed the LED replacements in a CU2 Euro?? From what I've seen, everyone's done it to a CL9.

I'd be keen to mod all my interior lights (including vanity mirror ones) to cool white LED in my CU2. I read the manual very briefly but don't remember coming across instructions for replacing the interior lights.

I think on page 5, there are some pics of what I did in my CU2

[actcueuro]

@Shakkas: NICE! I actually saw the pics and thought, gee that looks nice, but never realised that yours is also a CU2 because I saw that the cabin/dome light was in the centre. Mine is above the rear seats, probably because of the sunroof.

Couple of questions:

* Where/which lights did you buy? I'm looking at the ones from www.superbrightleds.com (http://www.superbrightleds.com).

* Did you end up breaking anything?
* Did you replace the vanity mirror lights as well?
* How long did it take you to do all of them?

I bought my leds from autojoy. But if you know the right size then buying them on ebay or site is fine.

Didnt break anything, was bit too gentle in the beginning but then had to get rough. All you need is a flathead screwdriver and wedge it out.
The door covers were tough to get out, have to be patient with them

Didnt change the vanity lights, really saw no point as they r rarely used (or my misses and didnt want to blind her with pure white led lol)

Took me prob 30 mins max, if you know what you are doing then 5 mins. Took me that long as I didnt want to break anything

hope that helped

[dtngo]

You can also get LEDs from www.dealextreme.com - they have a selection of the T10 wedge and festoon LEDs.

[kuyar11]

Hey guys,
I just installed my 6SMD LED's on my CL9. Cheapest mods you can get. Try ebay, they got heaps and dirt cheap.

[actcueuro]

Can't wait. I'll have to pull the original ones out to check the sizes and then order them.

Will keep you guys posted.

Is there anywhere where there is a parts reference with part numbers etc.? It'll save me having to do the work twice over.

@Shakkas: do you remember the part numbers of yours?

[shakkas]

nah, when you pull them out and see the size you will know which ones to get.

[actcueuro]

I pulled out all of mine today...except the license plate. They're pretty easy to do.

The vanity lights are 29mm festoons, and on eBay, the replacements in LED are worth like $20 + postage!!!


Did you do your license plates too?

[curtis265]

Hey do any of you know what sorta power and current ur LED's are taking?

Instruction manual says that you should be using 5W halogen globes... as far as i know, a 5W LED would b bright as fvck.

plus i can't seem to f ind any 5W T10 LEDs around

[Euro858]

Those interior lights are nothing compared to my 48 led super white lights I bought online. Delivered at my door for just under $15. Although its a extremely tight fit.

[longers]

noob questionl if the led's begin to flicker what does that usually mean?

[Noodulz]

noob questionl if the led's begin to flicker what does that usually mean?

Have you made sure the LED is sitting tight in its place? If it's a bit loose it tends to flicker. Check that first. Also, what kind of LEDs do you have?

[longers]

Yeah, they're in tight. I don't have any problems with the door lights, but the main interior lights and the two near the sunglass holder tend to flicker. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the power. I bought the leds my superbrightleds.com.

[curtis265]

ooh how much were they? They're from the US aren't they?

[actcueuro]

I just fitted mine (all cool white!!!). I got mine from superbrightleds as well...paid about US$110 incl. ems postage. They got here in less than a week! I think they look nice and wifey approves (!). Only small problem I've got is that the vanity ones are slightly thicker than the housing. I've forced it in and it looks okay...but still...I guess the fact that I know they're not the right fit is just bothering me.

Also, @longers: no flicker here mate.

[aaronng]

LEDs don't last long on the Euro because of voltage fluctuation from the alternator, especially when the AC kicks in. My average LED bulb life was about 2-4 months with the normal LEDs and about 6-8 months with the superbright LEDs. I've gone to white regular filament bulbs now (came with philips crystalvision)

[Atjo]

I use this LED from ebay and it lasts since almost 3 years ago. really bright especially if your interior is beige.

[curtis265]

u can get white filament bulbs..? I'd much prefer that.

voltage fluctuation realllly messes up LED's. The other day i blew my parkers because i forgot that they were on when i started the engine :(

Your car was a Friday special.. :)

I've had mine for 3 years and they are still running fine :)......

[kuyar11]

hey guys, are the vanity lights the same as the sunvisor lights? also does anyone know the measurements of these?

[Atjo]

It's the same, 31mm.

[euro2009]

It's the same, 31mm.

Anyone know the exact number for the Door/Vanity/map/Boot lid lights from www.suprbrightleds.com

I know Door/Boot T10 5W Wedge Bulb
map/Vanity lights: Festoon Dome 31mm-35mm LED Bulb

but the superbrightleds.com site does not have those number, the one from http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html seems to be the right but I can't be sure as it says T3-1/4 (#194/168) replaces: 194, 158, 168, 12256, 12961

Confused? Thanks in advance

Scuse my ignorance, but what are the globe specifications and are they the same for the interior lights and the door ones etc?

flick through the forum.
dome is t10
map light is fesoon 31mm.
front light t10
bad t10

however, the tailights are different refer to my diagram.

LEDs don't last long on the Euro because of voltage fluctuation from the alternator, especially when the AC kicks in. My average LED bulb life was about 2-4 months with the normal LEDs and about 6-8 months with the superbright LEDs. I've gone to white regular filament bulbs now (came with philips crystalvision)

Aaron, would a voltage stabiliser fix such an issue?

Sorry to raise such an old thread, but I am looking to change my interior + door (My plates one are already fitted with led)

Basically
For the map lights:

Door Lights (this one is different to the one Stephen said but is the W5W any different?):

Map lights are correct.

Door lights are correct, same thing, they just list the details differently, but its the same bulb though.

[Lazarus]

Awesome!
thanx for the heads up.
I'll order a few tonight!

So I'll need 2 for the doors, 4 for the ceiling lights?
+
What's the average life of these bulbs?
Any brand in particular i should look for..?
Because I could look into autobarn or superled website etc

[TRaNz]

2 for the doors, so thats one per side.

The ceiling lights, you need 3. two at the front and one in the rear.
lifespan, im not too sure, mine have lasted for more than 2 years so far. before that i had different colour, lasted alsmot the same time, probably still be ok. I changed them bcoz.....well i wanted a different colour....hahaha

eBay would be best go for these, be cheaper than autobarn n supercheap.

if you wanted bright ones, like i did, i looked for SMD LEDs or Flux LEDS, they were bright as.

[Lazarus]

Ahh, righteo, so cheaper = lesser quality in this case i suppose.

2 years is hell fine.

I'll give the ebay ones ago and see how bright they are.
theyre not gonna be for any 'real' purpose lol, just to look nice when i unlock the car ^^

[adhunt99]

Yeah I've done my doors and plate lights with blue, looks funkai!

Cost about $2 each from hong kong ebay :)

[Lazarus]

So i had a look see before i got my bulbs to see how to remove and access the bulbs, but can anyone show me how to remove the door ones?
tried to pry it like the others with my tools, but feels like i might break it lol.
+ how do u change em if they're constantly on when the door opens?

for the door lights.. i just pryed it with a small flathead on the minigap in the middle of the plastic, cant remember on the top or bottom. and yes its always on.. although bit dangerous, i just plugged it in and out :) still works, hope that helps :)

yep, i go from top with a flathead screwy.
Just be careful the bulb might get a bit warm/hot when u go to take the bulb out. Dont want u to burn yourself etc.

Reccomend you to use a cloth when you take out the bulbs :)

awesome i'll give it a go once i feel better, this flu going around is INSANE

[-[NoS]-]

hey guys... just to let you know...

i was tryna change my vanity mirror lights on my 07' and i was using the info from here..
ordered 31mm fuse LEDs... turns out the euro uses 29mm..
should have really measured before i ordered them.. oh wells..

so yeah... it didnt fit... just a heads up :D

changed the parkers, door, maps and plate lights with LEDs... nice as.. ill put pics up later :D

[Neilz]

Hey guys,

CU2 models with the blue led lights in the front and rear foot welds... does the White LED lights over power the blue light? This is with the door lights as i have noticed that the Honda Accessory lights arnt that bright to begin with...

[3URO]

BUMP

Hi Guys

Noob with all this stuff, so thought Id bump up this thread. I've been able to find heaps of info, but some of the links to buy leds for my 05 Accord are no longer working. I guess it is a matter of trial and hopefully you get a good set of lights.

I'm looking at getting Blue T10 - 5 SMD LEDs for the door

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/t10-1w-20-30-lumen-5-x-5050-smd-led-car-blue-light-bulbs-12v-pair-58297?item=30

and 31mm - 6 SMD LEDs for the map lights and cabin light at the back

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/31mm-1-35w-6-smd-led-84-lumen-6500k-white-dome-light-dc-12v-51003?item=14

Will the Map Lights be bright enough and fit as well?

Also, I haven't tried opening up the Licence Plate lights, but what would be the best T10's for the plate lights so it is bright enough to see the plate.

Cheers

[-[NoS]-]

31mm for map lights wont fit flush!

[Lazarus]

31mm fits for me (05 euro pre FL)

[-[NoS]-]

oppz... my bad...

[3URO]

-;3495108']oppz... my bad...

Not a good thing to do to a Noob. Haha. I'll check the measurement out tomorrow before I order.

[Lazarus]

lol s'all g, i think we should get a solid confirmation from each model so that ppl don't get confused lol

[3URO]

Yeah the sizes seem all good. Got a couple of mine today. Still need to get the door ones, they didn't fit...too long so put them in the boot. Lazarus, did you end up changing your vanitys as well? Will 6mm ( instead of 5mm) x 31mm lights fit in the vanity. Those the only ones I can find on ebay.

[Lazarus]

Yeah I changed all indoor/parkers/plate lights to led white...
I can't confirm whether or not 6mm will work =X but keep looking, you'll find some!

Sorry for Bumping this old thread but yea need a hand with the drivers side door light, replaced all lights with no drama except for drivers side, light wont turn on at all, put old lights back on & no light. Anyone know how to fix it? is it the socket coils? if so how do we replace that?

check fuse box maybe?

[BRae]

Any idea which fuse it might be since I couldnt figure out which fuse it'd be for the Drive Side door light since evrything else is in working order & didnt want to stuff up the other ones incase I pulled the wrong one out. :S

[lbkmumma]

Just bought some on ebay!!! I hope they come soon :p, will post photos when i get them!!

Hopefully it's the fuse and not the socket =X Was there anything different you did when removing the bulb? i.e. maybe pulled to hard, or snapped something?

[cl9boy]

does anyone know where i can purchase the door light covers? as one is broken and doesn't stay in?

A wrecker would be the easiest option.

Hey Guys,

I got some white LEDS for the euro, I was warming up the motor and thought id change the mirror light to test it out..... I think i blew a fuse.... headunit display is out and no music or interior lights. where is the fuse box?
Also the led for the map and mirror lights is same size but the holder in the mirror light is heaps smaller do i just shove it in?

Thanks

[Dru42]

found the fuse and the blown fuse.
