Interior LED dome light conversion!

**schussey** · 08-22-2006, 11:52 AM

i did my license plate lights in xenon, and they look great. I got the OBC error code before and after I changed them.

I still get it from time to time.

Im sure someone has to know a fix for this so that we dont get the annouying obc error.

Do you have any pics of your xenon plate lights, preferably at night?

Put the leds in my license plate to, error

Hope someone has a fix. I can take some pics tonight to. ALSO, does anyone know what kind of bulb it take for the rear lights, I opened them up and they OTHER bulbs, same with the reading lights in the dome.

Question.. these look very cool. I hate the yellow light that greets my in the footwells every morning at 4am when I get in to goto work. These look like they would rock.

However...

I also really like the fade on / fade off feature. LED's tend not to be receptive to lower voltages, at a certain point they just don't light. How well is the fade retained?

PICTURES!!!

**SJLABMW** · 08-22-2006, 11:59 PM

Wow I need to do this NOW

**GreenBeem93** · 08-23-2006, 12:20 AM

ordered mine today, will installing these throw a OBC error? How about a DIY w/ pics?

**jensklemp** · 08-23-2006, 12:35 AM

You should only get a error if you put them in your license plate, and its fairly simple if you order the right lights. Also, I'm not sure if your aware but in my car i have ba9s (bayonet bulbs) and right now I don't know how to get them to work in the rear lights and dome reading lights. For getting them out all you have to do is lightly pry with a small screwdriver and it should pop out.

Throwing some additional resistors onto the license plate lights should kill the OBC error.

jensklemp -

Pics look great. I really want to install these now.

**The Letter M** · 08-23-2006, 08:36 AM

I'm also interested in knowing if the fade on & off is retained with these, but otherwise its a great idea!

Would you mind explaining this a little better? I would like to know more about this.

Did you guys watch the video of the LED's dimming posted a page or so back? it does work but toward the end cuts off sharply and isn't as smooth as the normal bulbs...

i dislike your attitude! Being a mac owner... I would have to say you have been brain washed enough, install quicktime now.

Nice!

**M52 POWER!** · 08-23-2006, 10:09 PM

I use "quicktime alternative" and it doesn't have any of that annoying apple quicktime crap.

**jensklemp** · 08-23-2006, 10:35 PM

ANYWAY, lets get back on topic, its really your choice... if you cant watch a movie because you support windows that much we really ant do anything for you.

But now I got a question! I opened up my rear lights and then noticed there where bayolet (ba9s) or something like that in them. Can I rig something up to make the normal led lights fit in there. Here is a picture of what it looks like.

**jensklemp** · 08-25-2006, 11:42 PM

SOMEONE? PLEASE!! This looks so ugly right now

**jensklemp** · 08-26-2006, 08:59 PM

Does everyone just change the easy lights or something? I do NOT want to keep 4 lights yellow and the other ones clear!
