Infinite Reality's LED Thread

[infinitereality]

I tried every known combo of additional load resistors and sizes with no luck in getting them to operate normal. Also put stock bulbs back in front signals in hopes that would help but negative.

Bad led somewhere. I had this issue and went thru 7 fuses until I found the problem. It ended up being the led for my license plate. I replaced it with another led bulb and everything is normal.

I did the LED conversion and love the way it looks. Lately though, I have had some interesting issues. Had to replace one of the 'modules' that controlled the brightness of the instrument cluster and then just tonight noticed that one of my map lights starts flashing on and off after I open the door for a few seconds. It continues to flash when I shut the door until all the lights turn off after the 20 second interval.

Any one had that issue come up?

I had a similar issue with some festoon LED bulbs that I installed in my side mirror puddle lamps. After they were on for about 30 seconds, they would flash on/off at about a 1 second interval. I don't remember the model, but I bought them off eBay and they were supposedly a Cree brand LED. I think most of these LEDs are just cheap China junk.

I recently ran across a Pilot brand interior LED light kit at Walmart that included the 194 bulbs for the map lights and whatever festoon bulb is required for the dome light. The kit was about $8 I think. It's been installed for about two weeks and so far so good. I also bought a separate package of just a pair of Pilot LED 194 bulbs from Walmart (same bulbs that came in the interior kit) for my license plate, but they were just slightly too long to fit inside the light housing.

This is a really long thread, can someone please post a link to some good reverse and cargo lights? I was looking at these, but I don't really want to spend $80 on four of them.

I've ran same reverse and cargo lights for 18 months now with no issues. No need to read entire thread, link is in original post.

The link for the style in the original post is from an expired eBay auction, if I'm looking at it right. Do you know where they can be purchased now?

You're right.

The LEDs I ordered are on backorder. I will post the results once they arrive, if they arrive....

Well, noticed my driver's side puddle light was out last night... So ordered another pair of them, went with a different style of LED... I'm hoping for just as white and even brighter, will report back when they come in Thursday.

I just swapped out my puddle lamp bulbs again too. The first ones I tried were the ones you started with... one stopped working after about 3 months. The second style I tried was the 6-LED Samsung style you just ordered... it usually took about a minute, but when they got hot they would start to flash on/off at about 1-second intervals. Just last Friday, I installed some Sylvania/OSRAM Zevo DE3175 LEDs that I bought locally... they're not quite as bright as the others, but the temperature is better and I believe they're much better quality.

On a side note, one of my eBay style LED interior map lights that I just installed about two weeks ago started to intermittently flicker and my rear dome light will intermittently have a 1-2 second delay before it turns on. I'm giving up on the eBay LEDs.
