Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I bought some 48 LED light panels off of eBay and adapted them to the interior/courtesy/glovebox lights on my truck. WOW, it's like daylight!

Here is the box of 5 48 LED panels + 3 styles of adapters. It didn't come with a 67 bulb style adapter used in the factory style courtesy lights. I cut the ends off two of the adapters, broke the glass out of a couple 1156 bulbs and soldered the ends to the empty socket. This way I didn't ruin the courtesy light assembly and I can easily unplug them if needed.



I also fabricated a couple aluminum panels that were a little bigger than the LED lights. I stuck the lights to them (they come with 3M double stick tape already attached for easy mounting) and used an existing hole that was used for the courtesy lights to mount them. This way everything is easily reversible if I didn't like them or want to go back to stock later in life.

I put two LED panels in the dome light:



Which gives me THIS:



My courtesy lights:



And my glove box light, that comes on when I open it:



I still need to drill holes and install pin switches because my truck never had them.
