Lbox88 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 Ordered LED replacement lights from SuperbrightLEDs.com and they came in today. Had I put them in during the day, it would have maybe taken 15 minutes to swap them out. Wanted night comparison pics though. The lights Map light comparison Back seat and Cargo area lights One stock Map light, one LED No flash obviously, before and after, ISO 800, 1/4 exposure, f3.1 ISO 800, 1/6 exposure, f3.1 Oh, and they work with the stock dim on/off. Slides up to full brightness, dims down as they shut off. UBL | Build Log

Quiet Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Dimming was the whole reason I never switched to LEDs. Thanks for the comparo pics 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
Lbox88 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 Dimming was the whole reason I never switched to LEDs. Thanks for the comparo pics NP. Every once in a while They start to flash instead of being on, I still haven't figured out why though. Only thing I could figure is the much lower current draw is the reason. Pics coming soon, I got the headliner down and everything has 1-2 layers of Damp Pro. Now I just have to put it back together but after I rest for a bit, back and arms are not too happy with me for working on the car for 8 hours lol. UBL | Build Log

Jskiles Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 I bet that will help a lot. How was your headliner held up in yours? Mine had about 6 spots with some type of plastic Velcro.

Be lucky yours doesn't have a sunroof either. Mine is held by the pillar trim pieces, the rubber seals on the doorways, and then 6 plastic push pins that go through the headliner and into the braces that run across the roof. Damn. Man. Do work... About to go back outside and try to put everything back together now. UBL | Build Log
