Bingo. Extras bout doubled mine.

My original order was about $45 I think I left at $240 .

 

[BlazingTrails]

Holy Crap!!!

 

[Aarkon]

Just bought 200 leds couple of colors plus some other toys

 

[Capote]

200 LEDs for what?

 

[Aarkon]

Some for one truck some for another

 

[BlazingTrails]

Hell yeah


I have about 100 left of white, blue, and red.

 

[Capote]

I wouldn't order more than a few extra than what's needed

 

[BlazingTrails]

I order everything in bulk


Always prepared when I decide to do something

 

[Capote]

I'll order a pack of 100, but with various colors, but that's reasonable

 

[Aarkon]

Always buy extra for when they have duds

 

[SnowBlazer]

Have herd ordering in bulk isn't as good as it's made up to be. I've herd the T10s aren't all the same tint as well as some bulbs being defective. That's why I'm reluctant on placing on order.

 

[BlazingTrails]

If you use the right resistors they usually last forever lol

They're talking about raw leds with no bases. Order you some of these, they can also mix colors for you. Like, out of the 20, I got ten blue and ten white and as for them being defective, one of each color is all that has went bad on me so far. Cheapest I've found them.

[SnowBlazer]

Gotcha. I think I might do that...red & white domes would be cool.

 

[BlazingTrails]

What resistors did you use? usually on 14.4 volts you want to use 680 ohm on each LED. It will vary if you have a couple in series etc. you basically have to calculate every one to really do it right. Like for example the back door window switched need no resistor at all, because the rear switches only get 3 volts. also you lose 2 volts in every LED. so if you have 2 volt LEDS and you are running 6 LEDS in series you will not need any restors at 14.4 volts. crazy right? :Yes:

 

[SnowBlazer]

I really hope you aren't talking to me, Brandon.

 

[Mounce]

idk who he's talking to. That's good info though, Brandon. I didn't know about the voltage discrepancies in the rear door switches.

 

[BlazingTrails]

I really hope you aren't talking to me, Brandon.

Why? just trying to help, ebay sellers act like all you need is one resistor for everything. dumb asses

idk who he's talking to. That's good info though, Brandon. I didn't know about the voltage discrepancies in the rear door switches.

 

[Aarkon]

Idk man ive used one for all my work no problems so far

 

[SnowBlazer]

Good info for sure. Don't want to come off discrediting you. I just thought those LED's were Plug N Play.

 

[Capote]

Nope, those are different than ones you solder

 

[Mounce]

He's talking about pre-made t10's guys.... It don't get much more pnp than that lol.

 

[Aarkon]

Those dont work in the mods for our trucks

 

[SnowBlazer]

Yea. I thought we were talking about 2 different types of LEDs.

I was talking about T10s for the domes.

 

[Mounce]

They work in the domes but you have to leave one of the two reflectors out of each light, one of them won't let the bulb fit, can't remember which.

Cargo area takes a 212-2 festoon btw, snow.

 

[BlazingTrails]

t10 fit in all of mine PNP.


I was referring to raw LEDS that would be purchased in bulk.

 

[Aarkon]

You can unsolder the smds and use them though and save some money

You're the only person that I've seen with that style of dome lights. Most of the time they have the two lights per door next to the handles.

Thats the old school style. Mine are lined up down the middle.

 

[Mounce]

That makes two lol.

Brandon, when are you getting an LT/SS bumper for your grill?

 

[BlazingTrails]

Probably in a couple of weeks. i dunno would like to take care of the headlights first

 

[dmanns67]

Better save up for the D2S HID kit you will need to go with the headlights.

 

[Mounce]

Special sale on d2s bulbs right now. You could get the bulbs and find some amp to d2s adapters (trs, Ebay, Amazon, they all have them) and use your current ballasts.

Maaaybe I already took care of that

 

[Mounce]

Psshhh. Who buys things ahead of time?

Not mod addicts. [emoji14]oke:

 

[dmanns67]

Thats exactly what mod addicts do. Buy ahead of time whether you need it or not

GM=Rookie

 

[Mounce]

I'm a master of procrastination, you know that. Example A: buying a dremel after the headlight is already open.

 

[BlazingTrails]

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Makers total sense. I always buy painters tape after I paint truck parts

 

[Blckshdw]

Hey you guys, don't these Acura MDX LED headlights look like they'd be a good fit in TB headlights? Hmmm... Oh wait, I still have 2 other retrofits I haven't finished yet. My bad!

The kit (projectors, shrouds, and drivers) costs $600 but don't mind that.
