gpchris Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Im hoping to upgrade my 95 grand prix's interior lights to LEDs. Can anybody tell me what kind of bulbs ill need and how many? Ill need the ones in the doors, ones for the front floorboard, the ones on the rear pillars and the ones in the mirror. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonpro03 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Found this... you might have to do a lot of custom work: http://www.xtralights.com/lebbulbs-168194921115611573156315774407443t10andt15ledbulbsleddomelights.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some research and found a site that sold them relatively cheap. You can upgrade all interior bulbs to LEDs for about $30 bucks. Problem is I'm having trouble figuring out what type of bulbs are in the rear pillar domes. They look a lot like 194 sockets but the bulb is like 3 times the size.. Anybody know what these bulbs are called? Theres no marking on them.. And for anyone else wanting to upgrade; the mirror lights and door lights were 41mm 212-2 bulbs and the front floor board bulbs are 194's. Im still trying to figure out what the rear pillar lights are.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpchris Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Alright guys i found out they are 906 bulbs. So i just ordered them. I got all 8 interior lights for $37 shipped. If you guys ever want to do this you'll need: 2x 194 Bulbs (Floor Board) 4x 212-2 Bulbs (Map Light/Mirror Light, Door Light) 2x 906 (Rear Pillar Light) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm curious to see how your led lights look when installed. Be sure to take some photos if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP091 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 sylvania's website has a cross reference tool for checking bulb types. Would have taken all the guess work out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 If your gonna do LED interior lighting like I have in the past. Stop. First to do it right you need to make a 12v regulator to supply the LEDs with stable voltage. Otherwise they will do like mine did, burn out, flicker, and not last long at all. Second, to be able to dim them properly, you need a PWM dimmer. Im working on building one using a 555 timer IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizlang Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 OK the BIG question is . . . ? who did you order your bulbs from ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I got mine from China off ebay. Thats where all of them come from. And no, they didnt die because they were cheap, they died cause LEDs dont like operating except within their very very narron voltage range. And they dont like being dimmed with resistors.

Sagitarii Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I bought some fog light led arrays .. chinese .. they suck. Does your GP fade the interior lights out like my cutty does. LEDs don't like odd voltages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 All of the exterior lighting on my old Millenia was LEDs from eBay. They were a lot brighter and worked just fine with no modifications. Had it for a year like that. Granted I never dimmed the exterior lights - but a side from that everything else would be similar in function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
