I've got LED on everything except the reverse lights, dome lights and glovebox/ashtray lights (didn't feel like peeling the dash apart for it.)

On the dome side, I had yet to find anything bright enough...though Autoilluminations has some newer LED bulbs I think I'm going to experiment with. At the moment I have "white" colored standard bulbs to match the white of all the other LED's.

My reverse lights are some ludicriously bright halogen lights to make night time backing up possible with my tints. lol.

Everything else is LED including the license plates.

heres a link to the crappy vid i took, the framerate of the digital camera could not keep up with the strobing of the breaker tails, they flash about 20 FPS.

Ashtray: pull it out all the way. Then push it back in slightly. There are two barbed tabs cast into the plastic that you have to push on and then you can pull it out. The socket twists out for bulb replacement. 5 minutes total.

On the dome light, I'm using this one:



It's a little too bright. I have one of these to try next (what they actually ship has 10 LEDs):



I have these in the map lights (where they work great), but it was a little too dim in the dome:



I never thought about the glove box. Hmmm . . . now that you have me thinking, there are lights in the visor mirrors also . . .

Pawn,

The breakers are great, I also installed the flasher unit for the high mount stoplight, it works great and I did not get pulled over.....yet. I would get the breakers, they work as advertised, and strobe nicley when you hit the hazards or turn signals, people really stay off your A$S.

Gadget,

What taillights, all i saw was a blur...LOL

Those tailights flash when you brake? Isn't that the same as the new Mercedes Benz? What's the issue?

they strobe for 2 seconds each time they get voltage.....so they strobe for the turn signals as well......I have yet to really see a MB with flashing tail lights in the area.

I believe that on the MB, its only the center brake light that flashes. Strobe lights even for the turn signals? Really?

Here's something to complete the look.
