Interior LED lighting suggestions???

Hey guys, I’m looking to install some LED lighting for the interior of the 2018 Crew max.. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

And get the vanity mirror bulbs too. Those things are bright.

 

Question.. does it come with a tool to pop the lenses out? If not what should I use? Thanks

 

I have the diode dynamics bulbs no model specific kits just ordered per bulb size they are super bright and were cheaper than headlight revolution and come with a 3 year warranty great leds from my experience have them in both my Lexus and tundra can post pics if anyone is interested to see what they look like

 

Would love to see the pics in the tundra. Thanks !!

 

Will do I’m about to get off work in 35-40 minutes I’ll post some they are extremely bright almost to the point of too bright

 

Headlight revolutions in mine. A little pricey for what they are, but worth it. I originally had some cheap led light kit from eBay, there is a big difference between cheap and a little pricey.

 

I used Sylvania Zevo LEDs very happy with them.

 

Headlight rev here as well. When you do the passenger map light be careful.

 

I am also contemplating of upgrading all my interior lights with LED bulbs and have a question. Will the lights still "fade" to the off position the way they do now or is either on or off? I like the fading feature for some reason.

 

i use vleds for the interior. ordered 5k bulbs but didn't like them, seemed to have a slight off color than the old 5k lights they use to have. ordered 6k lights and those were closer to white than the 5k ones.

have them on the 2014 4runner and I think only 1 has gone out in 4.5 yrs and that was the license plate one. also bought them for the 2012 Tacoma and transferred them to the 2016 Tacoma and not one died. they went with the 16 Tacoma when we traded it in for the 18 tundra.

 

Bought these off Ebay for 2nd gen , without researching, but they seem to work really well. Time will tell how long.

Headlight revolution, worth the money IMO.

 

Bought mine off of Amazon. I just picked the best seller. Paid $10 for a package and have some left over. Been in for a couple of months and haven’t had any issues.

 

I first bought a cheap pack on Amazon, I think it was $15 for enough bulbs to do the truck. I have since changed them out as they started flickering horribly and didn't keep a good connection. I didn't think the color bothered me until I bought some nice ones. I bought the Philips Crystal Vision LED's and ended up redoing them all, interior as well as cargo/brake light.

You can see the attached comparison picture at how much whiter and brighter the good bulbs are, and the picture of the inside with the good bulbs. Only thing, I wish the Philips bulbs made the little 74 bulb for the drivers footwell and glovebox. I have the stock bulb in the footwell and the cheap LEd in the glovebox. It hasn't bothered me enough to buy the more expensive ones from another vendor.

 

precisionled.com in mine...pricey but zero issues.

 

I used VLEDS everywhere (except the headlights, fogs and puddle lamps). And I used the 5K because I was afraid the 6K would be too blue or too bright. No problems so far except when I ordered the wrong bulbs for the front turn signals - they exchanged them quickly. Good customer service!

I second the comment about disconnecting the battery (or pull the inside fuse). It's easy to short the leads on the map light sockets and the rear dome light to the metal reflector shield. I blew a couple of fuses in the process. Mine did not come with a tool, but I just used a plastic trim tool and plastic tweezers.

 

you should see the horror stores on the 3rd gen Tacoma forums of people blowing out the body control module (this controls the overhead lights in the Tacoma) when they short out the front map lights removing the oem bulbs and putting in leds.

I see a lot of people ground out the reflector to a screw driver or needle nose pliers trying to remove the oem bulbs.

on the tundra, I just used duct tape to pull them out.

 

I guess it is always a good idea to put the switch in the off position before removing bulbs.

 

Most LED bulbs are polarity sensitive, unless you pay big bucks for them.
When reconnecting battery or fuse, about half will be on. The bulbs will have to be reversed. Probably should disconnect before reversing bulbs.

 

I can’t find a tutorial here to change the interior bulbs. See every other LED swap. I have never pulled out a lens in the interior. How do you get it started?

 

YouTube headlight revolution interior bulbs tundra, step by step. I got diode dynamics, they are bright and the price wasn’t bad.

 

If you have trouble with the 2 map lights, you can easily remove the whole head unit so you can brace/push on the clip from behind. That is also the fix if you push the clip’s retaining strip off its track.

The unit is held by 4 Torx screws, 2 visible in the sunglasses compartment and 2 behind the map holder that you pry off.

Off topic, I put the same canbus T10’s in our Lexus and they turn on by walking up to it with keyfob in pocket, before touching the handle to unlock the door. I honestly never noticed that before!

 

Thanks for your suggestion. I am concern with the wire connection and the controller.

 

+1, no problems here

 

Truth. However on the 18 there are only 2 screws.

 

Also looking for the interior LEDs and any brighter options then these kinda small LEDs?
aren't those dim?
