Ballin on a budget

I want to switch all my lights to leds that’s exterior to interior but I’m also living on a teen budget so any recommendations on products?

 

check out the lighting forum here. and searching for specific info on Tundras is super easy- upper right.

 

Google for: Fyreflyz TT2W

Should be the entire kit you'll need in bright white for $11 shipped. Fyreflyz puts it all together for you, I've used their stuff on several vehicles.

You could buy all these on other sites separately maybe for a buck or two less. Just let them do the work for you.

 

@shifty` i see but I don’t see headlights or fogs either

 

That's not including the cluster or climate control bulbs. Not sure if what to replace those also.

 

I've, never understood why everyone here want's to swap-out to brighter LED's . . . I'm a 'black-out' guy, the darker the better . . . I HATE bright crap . . . .maybe the exterior stuff, but if you need to go 'nuclear' on your interior . . . you've got sight issues. Hell, I put electrical tape over my clock to keep the cab dark . . . you guys are flashing.

 

Disconnected my door switch so the lights dont come on and the door doesnt ding at me.

 

Fyreflyz sells interior light kits.

I would recommend you don't do your exterior lights, personally. If you haven't read about all the hassles that come with LED on other lights in your vehicle, from hyperflash to loss of fogs, then I recommend you avoid moving to LED headlights, tail lights and otherwise until you have.

And with how expensive quality LED headlights can be ... it may not fit the teen budget.

Correct. That's $11 shipped for just the dozen or so interior lights like glove box, overhead lights, doors, kick panels. Fair price for what you get, IMO.

Yep, I sure do. I know it may be hard to believe, but sight impaired people really do exist!

I was legally blind w/o corrective lenses from the age of 10 until I got eye surgery in my late 20s. Maybe you haven't hit your 40s yet. I know when I did, midway from 41 to 42, my near vision went down the shitter rapidly. Upgrading to LED in the cab of my truck was a gamechanger for me.

Enjoy that blackout stuff while your body allows you. Hope you don't ever strain to see things so much you damage your eyesight.

 

My eyesight sucks . . . really went to hell about 2 years ago . . . it's much easier for me to see out of the truck when it's dark INSIDE the truck. When I had my windows tinted the last time, I had to go a level or 2 lighter than on my last Tundra just so I could see through them at night . . . I had a couple close-calls with pedestrians and people on bikes with no lights at night, so that really spooked me.
What's weird is I've always worn very high quality polarized sunglasses cause I spend a lot of time on and around the water. A few years back I even had my entire windshield tinted with the best quality ceramic that was recommended . . . driving directly into the sun irritated me so much.
In the winter when it rains and I have to drive at night, I wear a pair of very light amber-tinted polarized sunglasses to knock down the glare from the headlights reflection off the water. It REALLY helps a ton.

 

Ah. Maybe I misunderstood. Are you talking about LED in the dash bezel, gauges, console?

The kit I was talking about is only for peripheral lights, not dash and stuff. Total gamechanger for me, having CSS (Can't See Shit). Using the stock overhead and floor well lights, if I dropped a small black screw - like the ones behind the climate control knobs holding the radio bezel - on my near-black carpets or black mats, I'd need to wait until I pull out of the garage the next day in full sunlight to be able to find it.

I didn't have a choice on my gauge cluster - on the newer trucks (04+?) like mine, nearly all the lights in the cluster are LED already. But I just keep those dimmed. LCD head unit is also set to auto-dim when it's dark out. Bright dash lights driving in the dark make me nuts also.

 

Gotcha . . . that's what i was thinking . . . .makes sense now.

 

Ive got a pen light when i need to find something in the dark. But most of the time i can find it by feel. Keeping the truck dark when im in and out lets me see whats going on, on the other side of the truck. Light comes on when i open the back door, which is wierd, cause why would the back door have a switch if the front door has to be open. So if i need need the lights, i pop the rear door.
