Kailo 03-30-2007, 01:25 AM Hey Joe,I will like the White interior lights as well,but will like to know exactly which ones goes to dome and door and how much will I need? (bulbs)..TY

now the dome lights that goes in the front and the rear cargo are called FESTOON led bulb they are 31mm long make sure is 31mm and not 41mm this last one is way to big and will not fit and you will need a total of 3 2 for the dome front and 1 for the cargo.

They work great the light is true white not like the regular bulbs you buy at any autostore plus give you a nice LUX look.
Kailo 03-30-2007, 02:21 AM Thanks Joe.
SHOCKWAVE 03-30-2007, 02:44 AM Nice fine Joe. How did you fit the flank led bulbs on the rear plates? One's installed, are they water proof. I bought some led bulbs from PepBoys a while back & I can't see how the flanks fit.
Paspasero 03-30-2007, 06:12 AM That looks hot! I'm a real sucker for lights. Hey, did you take that third picture at Tyson's Corner?

I'll have to look into doing the same for the Armada ..
Ricochet 03-30-2007, 11:20 AM It would be great if a kit could be created on what Joe C has done.
Possible group buy??
group buy would soung great!!!
Jason B can look into a group buy if we could give him an idea of how many we would need.
Joe_c 03-30-2007, 06:46 PM Nice fine Joe. How did you fit the flank led bulbs on the rear plates? One's installed, are they water proof. I bought some led bulbs from PepBoys a while back & I can't see how the flanks fit.
They just fit like the oem bulb pull old ones and plug new ones in that simple.
and it looks cool!!

you know doing some grocery shopping with my better half.;)
legendmanbilly69 03-30-2007, 06:56 PM Try this website http://stores.ebay.com/Velocity-LEDs for the bulbs. Use this site for bulb fitman. http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide
I change out all my turn and brake bulbs and puddle and plate and most interior. make sure you get bulbs size correct - 921 will fit into 194 socket, but 921 is too fat to fit into the licence plate. you must get 194 for the plate lights. good luck.
legendmanbilly69 03-30-2007, 07:02 PM don't forget to get two pairs(4) of these for your turn signals. It prevent your blinkers from blinking to fast. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-Turn-Signal-Flash-Controller-Resistor-Load-Balancer_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35598QQitemZ16 0098814175QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
hullio 03-30-2007, 09:02 PM Great find sir! I hope we can get a group buy, I'll try to convince my parents that we need LED's :). Just out of curiosity, I'm guessing the bulb-type (part #) will not fit in the G35 correct?

hey Hullio!
I believe the 194 bulb is common on most vehicle including Nissan
if it has 194 it should'nt be a problem and it would look more sofisticated.
Matrix 03-31-2007, 10:50 PM So how do you change the lights on the rear view mirror?
Joe_c 03-31-2007, 11:33 PM So how do you change the lights on the rear view mirror?
You mean the dome lights?
Ricochet 04-02-2007, 10:06 AM I have got in contact with V-Leds (Velocity Distributing) for a group buy on a kit for the interior and exterior.
I'll check against what Joe C has done, with their recommendations on the type of LEDs for interior lights.
I'll get back to everyone on cost and types of LEDs, including where they would go in the truck.
Ricochet 04-02-2007, 10:08 AM I'll be glad to turn this over to Jason B if he can get what we need.
The kit for the Armada would be:
4 pairs 194 HID White High Power Flank LED
3 31mm Festoon Dome Light Bulb Super HID White
2 pairs of 6 LED 194 bulbs Super HID White
This is what I have so far from Joe C's set up.

He'll need total numbers for a bulk order to see what he can get them down to. I was thinking of trying to put together and post a Poll during my lunch hour today, that way we could could easily get totals but anyone is welcome to beat me to it if you have time.
Ricochet 04-02-2007, 10:56 AM Thanks POPS, that's a great idea.
whenever somebody gets a list going... count GOM aka-Raphael in!!! haha

you will also need 1 pair 3157 amber, 1 pair 3157 white, and 1 pair 3156 white, and also 2 pairs of load balancer for the turn signals.
I think we got a decent Poll started.... Please talley 'em up so he'll know what we want.

ArmadaLA 04-12-2007, 04:23 PM I definately want these lights and i'm prepared to place an order right now, but before i do, i just wanted to know if we plan on doing a group order? If so i'd be interested asap. Also, why do we need 4 pairs instead of 3 for the 194 flank LED? 3 pairs should cover the 2 license plate lights and 4 door lights right? SO why the extra pair? Thanks in advance
I'm pretty sure that there's only 3-pairs of the Flank. http://www.clubarmada.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6932
As for the Group Order, we were hoping to get some pricing but haven't heard anything back from Burtman.
ArmadaLA 04-12-2007, 04:37 PM OK cool, i'll just go ahead and place my order then. Also, what size LED's do i need for the 2 vanity mirrors? Thanks again.
Good question. Maybe Joe_C or Legendmanbilly69 can say.
Bishop 04-12-2007, 05:59 PM armadala, if your going to place your order let me know where and how much... Also if you can send me the list so I know what to buy. Thanks... I guess Burtman won't be able to help us out????

Seems to me like the ball got dropped. :(
I'll know better next time.
Bishop 04-12-2007, 06:16 PM That's too bad huh pops??? I was hoping we would get a good deal too... Oh well!?!?!
esMada 04-12-2007, 06:22 PM Hey guys I know Jason B personally and I'm sure he will respond soon. The last time I spoke to him (earlier today) he was still working on it. I know he was having a hard time getting all of the bulb types that were requested. He'll let us know shortly. He didn't want to reply until he had all the information first.
Thanks esMada !!!! That's nice to know!!
Joe_c 04-12-2007, 09:19 PM I see you folks having problems with type and bulb numbers I hope this can help a bit.
This is the rear license plate socket and led bulb 2 needed.Same as doors.
Joe_c 04-12-2007, 09:21 PM Now the doors are the same as license plate Led bulb
4 Led for doors.
Joe_c 04-12-2007, 09:24 PM Now 2 front dome lights and cargo or rear trunk light 1 needed only
Joe_c 04-12-2007, 09:30 PM Now interior middle and 3rd row seat lights 4 needed only.
ArmadaLA 04-12-2007, 09:56 PM Joe C you're the man! This is extremely helpful, i cant wait to put mine in. I just ordered my set (13 LED's total) and it came out to $77 with shipping.

Kailo 04-13-2007, 01:57 AM Yo Joe, Seems as if I got different leds bulbs for the front dome and rear trunk...I also used the flank leds for the driver and pax foot lights really bright...Just need to get those under the side view glass

The one that I have is not available anymore I believe,the one your showing
have 9 led bulb it should be an upgrade to the one i have.
ArmadaLA 04-14-2007, 10:51 PM I just got an email from V-LEDS and he told me that in 4 weeks they should have the ones for the vanity mirror. Once i get these the LED replacement set will me complete and i'll post pics.

COOL!!! I'll keep an eye on that,that will complete all the lights, great info
brotha Mada!! Thanks again.
ArmadaLA 04-15-2007, 02:36 PM I've been doing my own web research, and i finally found the vanity LED's! I'll post the link below, its about a 1/3 of the way down on the web page. Price seems high, but i need these asap,
http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm
ArmadaLA 04-20-2007, 02:45 PM Well i just received the LED's for my vanity mirrors from autolumination.com and they are off course too big. I probably should have measured my stock lights before ordering, but i was in a hurry so i placed an order anyhow. The stock vanity mirror bulbs are 22-23mm, and i have yet to find any. If anyone knows where to get some please let me know.
asianr6 10-14-2007, 04:41 AM check out this site too. they have alot of LED bulbs. i used them for my acura TL a couple months ago. you want the "cool white" color.

How do you access the license plate lights? I dont see any screws or anything to access them. I have one that is out and will replace w/LED's
legendmanbilly69 10-29-2007, 05:04 PM How do you access the license plate lights? I dont see any screws or anything to access them. I have one that is out and will replace w/LED's
you will have to lay on your back looking up at the bumper and you will see a white socket with two wires. just twist the socket counter clockwise about a quarter turn and it should pull right out. the bulb number is 194. good luck.:)
madafan 10-30-2007, 09:14 AM The bright light looks AWESOME!
Are the door and license plate bulbs the 194 series that are at a right angle?
ERNGE 10-30-2007, 06:12 PM Hey, did anyone get the group order thing straight on these LED's?
Hey, did anyone get the group order thing straight on these LED's?
Nah, it never came through. Here's a list of the Bulb Numbers though.
http://www.clubarmada.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6932
MajBlue07 11-02-2007, 05:48 PM I went ahead and ordered the LEDs for my license plate, doors, puddle lights, and reverse lights. I also ordered the brake lights, but am not sure if I will run with them or not. I walk a fine line to try not to look too "over the top" with this stuff...I'll see how it looks.
The guys at V-LEDs sent an out of office email saying that they are at SEMA and wouldn't be shipping till next week...too bad, I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to get the shipment. I'll post some pics after the install.
MajBlue07 11-07-2007, 05:29 PM Well, the LEDs came in today. I went ahead and installed the puddle lights, license plate lights, and door lights. All of those look good.
My only issue with the puddle lights is that all the LEDs (9 of them) point forward and not down. There is a reflector in the housing, but it does not get completely utilized due to the way the LED bulb is set up. If the LED was like the license plate ones and pointed out the side, then it would spray a lot more light down to the ground. I'll check it tonight after the sun goes down...maybe it is indeed enough afterall.
I had ordered the brake light LED bulbs as well. I installed one of them (driver's side) so as to compare it with the stock incandescent bulb (passenger side). When compared to stock, the LED does not put out NEAR enough light to be a SAFE brake light. I ended up pulling it and replacing it with the stock bulb. Not near as cool as having LEDs in the brake lights, but a heck of a lot safer. Like I said earlier, the sun is still up here so I am fighting ambient light, but brake lights should still be visible in the daytime. At night, maybe they're adequate.
I thought that I ordered the reverse lights, but I ended up getting 4 of the brake light bulbs. Oh well, now I have to send back 4 bulbs instead of just 2.
For anyone interested in doing the brake lights...be warned. They do look cool, but they just aren't enough to be considered safe in the daytime. If anyone has questions as to my experience, feel free to send them my way.
Randy, I believe you're ordering the wrong bulbs. this is what you will need for your puddle lights : www.autolumination.com/906.htm Just scroll down to the first set of bulbs and that's what you need. I've been running these in my puddle light for about 2 years and they are just as bright as stock. What you need is light hitting the reflector and this bulb emit light 360 degrees. you won't be dissapointed. and for the interior/door/license you will need these: www.autolumination.com/194.htm and scroll down to the 5th set of lights. I wish I knew how to post it so the image would come up but I don't. let me know.
MajBlue07 11-08-2007, 12:02 AM Alex, Thanks for the links. I figured I needed to install a bulb that utilized the reflector in all directions. Basically emulating the stock incandescent bulb.
I ended up using the "side flank" LEDs that were discussed on this thread for the under door lights and the license plate lights, which worked out nicely...plenty of light.
Do you have any suggestions as far as reverse lights go? I like the cool blue look of the LEDs, but also want the functionality of what the stock reverse lights put out. Basically, what kind of LED is going to give me the output lumens of what the stock incandescents have?
Thanks again for the help...
legendmanbilly69 11-08-2007, 08:46 AM Try these leds. I have them in this style for my brake lights and they are very bright.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-25mm-168-194-1W-12V-Xenon-White-HP-LED-Wedge-Bulbs_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33713QQihZ017QQit emZ270184159246QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
excuse me guys.....but what are "puddle lights"? I ordered 3 festoons (2 for the dome & 1 for the cargo)
2 pairs (1 light per door) for the doors
2 pairs (1 per swivel) for the interior
1 pair for the license plate
did I miss something? am I supposed to have more LED's/lights? other than the vanity which they dont have in our size yet
Puddle Lights are lights on the bottom of the Side Mirrors to light up the ground next to the truck. I think that they are only on LE but they could be available on SE too for all I know.

everything that you're using I went thru but it wasn't enough light for my taste so I went with led bulbs emitting light 360 degrees. keep in mind that you will not get the same lumens as stock bulbs from leds but these are the closest. I also ran the same 921 bulb for the back up and am very happy with the light output.
MajBlue07 11-08-2007, 09:41 PM There are some Cadillacs out there that have LED reverse lights stock. What is GM using in those reverse lights that are good enough to be considered stock? I've seen those Cadillacs in parking lots at night and their reverse lights seem to put out a lot of light. Anyone know???
armadadd 11-09-2007, 11:03 AM legendmanbilly69 the led for the brake lights are they for the 3rd brake light? did you need any special wiring?
legendmanbilly69 11-09-2007, 01:50 PM no special wiring is needed for the regular brake light. the third brakes lights are already led from the factory. you will need load balancer for the turn signal lights.
Just as a side note: for anyone replacing their brake light bulb to led you should go with (red) led's not white. anytime you use led behing a red lense you should use red led bulbs. you can read about that on any site where you order your bulbs.
