I'm starting this as a writen guide. And will be turned into a tech article.. I'm using a thread as re writable form. NOT COMPLETE! PICTURES AND LINKS TO LEDS COMING. When completed, all Information will be corrected, and converted into a tech article..

HID Xenon conversion lighting kits Is sponsering this thread, and the article

To find your replacements use this. http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applications/automotive-lighting-systems/Pages/lrgmain.aspx#fldYear


If not marked The default color is white.

All T10's I used are the wedge type. I prefer the SMD led, compared to the other option.The smd's are brighter.
1156/1157/2057 are the socket twist type.
T5's are wedge style.
Cluster T5 8.5's are the twist style. But not the socket twist style like the 1157/1157/2057

STAFF Please do not edit. I will edit with the correct information,before completion.

Exterior:

Front:
Corner lights(Amber) T10 X2
Parking lights (Amber) 1157A X2
Fog lights H3 X2

Rear:
Bumper side lights. T10 X2 You can use Red if you choose,But with the marker being Red it's not needed.
License plate. T10 X2
Reverse lights. 1156 X2
Tail lights. (Red) 2057/1156 X6
High stop lamp. T10 X3 Can use red, but again marker is red so not needed, unless you want to order red T10's


Interior:

I used white, but you can pick any color you want for a little extra pizzaz or to match your color scheme.

Hvac and cluster bulbs. T5 8.5 led
Under dash lights. T10 X2. The stock bulb has an amber cap on it.
Trunk light. 31 mm feston X 1
Overhead/dome light. 31 mm feston X4
Cig lighter. T5 X1
Lighted key ring. X1
Auto shifter. T10 X1
Ash tray. T5 X1


The only interior bulb I do not know the replacement for, is the power/Eco button..That one is kind of strange.


NOT COMPLETED.NOT ALL BULBS ARE LISTED YET. If you have questions please pm me.

2g kit coming.But I'll need need conformation from a 2g owner on if the bulbs are correct, from what the second link says.

Thanks

Bud

Bud - looking good here! Thank you for posting this up. This is going to help out a ton of members bringing all this information together.

The 31mm festoons seemed a tad too big when I installed them. I got them to work but they would not go in all the way. Did you experience this as well Bud or were they a direct drop in for you?
 
That one..He had like less than 10 bulbs.. I seen that and went a step further..Most of the leds are standard leds anyway..So I bought a few of each and went to town.

Those are also two different colors..Which would cost alot more than your one color leds.

If you have more info on what is goin on with the switchbacks..I probably could come up with something..But thats new technology to me..

Actually upon second look..We kinda have those allready.Your turn signals and brake lights...So you turn your lights on, there on,but hit the turn signal and they blink, or hit the brake and they go brighter.
 
It's two colors on the same bulb, and primarily used for driving/turn combo lights. When it's on, constant voltage, it's white. When you hit the turn signal, the ambers light up to keep with the legal need for amber blinkers.

Now thats what I need..Is it just the bulb, and wiring that does that?

I've had multiple people just go with the white, even after I reccomended amber, to stay legal.This would be legal, and cool..

AM I getting schooled on leds right now..DID not expect that.
 
Well, considering every bulb in the Gen is LED now, and I just did my HID kit.. :)

It's voltage based, IIRC. Constant on _____________ is a parking light, right? So blinking _ _ _ _ _ is voltage changing.
 
St Louis...Diode Dynamics? ;)

Edit: Apparently so

My big ol bulbs were 39 for the pair. Not bad to stay legal.

In 2112 I hope every bulb in the car is led.

But I really like these..I might have to order some and mess around with them..So thanks for turbing me onto these..NO H o m O.

I found some, Just gotta find the t10, and the 1156/57 for the headlights..And I might get this rolling;)
 
Footnote: I required a replacement flasher module. The voltage was different enough, the car thought the bulb blew.
 
yea they say that on the website for the turn signal leds. the car will think the bulb is burnt out so it blinks fast. in the purchase menu you can add the module for 10$ if i remember correctly.

this is a direct link to the website instead of going through the youtube page

Diode Dynamics
 
Ive had a few leds that the car thought they bulb blew, or the bulb stays one, or goes on when the wiper switch is bumped..

Ive had a few that were just finiky also, and didnt want to work in certain sockets.
 
To bad those switchbacks wont work on the 2gs because the turning signals have that amber color plastic lens, or whatever u want to call in in front:( so no matter what the color of the bulb is its still going to be either bright/darker amber:(
 
And as far as the interior led conversion they all seemed the same for the 2gs. I also used same types. The only lights I yet have to figure out are the fog light swith, cruise, and mirror adjustor switch. I know they have amber caps on them but the bulbs are SMALL, smaller than the leds used on t5's:banghead:
Also I haven't figured out how to reach the bulbs for the climate control section either and I hate how I have nice white leds everywhere else and those are ugly yellow. Any knows what tipe those bulbs are??:confused:

You must not know that on 1ga, and 2gb, you can mod the headlights, for no amber in the housing.

:ohdamn:no I didn't. is there an article on this?? or video anywhere??:confused:
 
The hvac and instament cluster as well as a few others like the 1g buttons, stuff like that..I have not found a direct replacement for.

Even tho I listed them..They did not fit.like the stock bulb did..

I did alot of the 99 avenger too..Which most are the same as 1g, as far as the festons,t10, and t5's..Dont ask about the mirror lights in the 2g, that was a PITA.
 
Check out Oracle lighting for some SICK led bulbs, I replaced all my bulbs from them not to long ago with their bulbs... what a great upgrade! Ill do it to all my cars now!

Cluster and hvac-Did they still illuminated and hold in place? Do you think there is a solution for this, maybe a very light adhesive (like a tack weld would be for metal) just a small spot.

Also I noticed on your list a couple items listed had a quantity(x1) but no bulb #
