I think it would good. But when u say entire lighting system what exactly are u referring to? Or should I ask what are u not referring to.


all basic interior lighting - door, overheads, foot, and possibly license plate etc. not including anything on the dash.

Hi guys!!!! This is by far the easiest mod and by far one of the most useful (I think) there is:
This mod consists on swapping all of your bulbs INSIDE your KK from filament bulbs to LED bulbs... the results are quite amazing.... here's what youll need:
I bought my LEDs from http://autolumination.com/ and here's a little description on which bulbs youll need for each aplication:

2x 4 - STAR SMT for the license plate (look for them at almost the bottom of the page)
http://autolumination.com/194.htm

2x 921 matrix LED bulb (9led lens) for the foot wells
http://autolumination.com/906.htm

3 x festoon bulb 44mm Overhead console and CARGO AREA
http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm

2x 194 SMT tower LED for the reading light (back passengers)
http://autolumination.com/194.htm

you will also need a flat head screwdriver to pop all the lens caps out.....again.. ITS A VERY EASY PROCEDURE... just like replacing a blown bulb (no wire cutting, no soldering just swapping)
ok here it goes

1.- first and second pic: comparison of the STOCK bulb VS LED bulb Lic. Plates:
Image
Image

2.- the next two pics are how the interior of the KK looks with stock lights.. NO FLASH on the camera WAS USED: (sorry for the quality but I had a hard time taking a photo without a tripod and without flash)
Image
Image

3.- Next pics show the led lights installed: (first LEDS, next Overhead console with LEDS and finally stock bulbs on the overhead console... see the difference?)
Image
Image
Image


4.- and light from the cargo area:
Image

5.- and finally from the footwells:
Image


Last pic is a comparison of a stock bulb and a LED bulb... notice how they are identical?
Image

Again this is the easiest mod I have ever done....took me about 10 mins to do the entire install please have these things in mind when doing this mod:

Careful! BULBS ARE HOT.... be sure to turn your interior lights off before working with stock bulbs... but I guess you already knew that.

Be extra carefull when removing the lens off the lights.... you could break them if you dont handle them carefully!

See those metalic shields from last pic? Those came off the overhead center console... you dont need to reapply them when you install a LED light!

There is a lens on the footwells that will eventually get burned over a certain period of time thanks to the heat generated by stock bulbs... you can prevent fading/melting of this and other lenses if you change the bulbs!

I guess thats it... if you want to do it DO IT!!! its easier than it looks...all of these LEDS are SUPER WHITE and pictures DONT DO THEM JUSTICE... these are NOT blue... though the camera seems to interpret super white as blue...
Also YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY COLOR YOU MIGHT WANT!!! Imagine a black KK with red lights!!! OMG! =)
If you do this mod please post pics of it in here!!!
if you have any questions i would be happy to answer them
best regards!



Silver, Do these apply to the 2011 KK as well? I'd hate to order only to find out they completely re-did the lighting in 2009/2010. if anyone knows please get back to me... aaaand if someone would like to be a good sameritan and do the listing legwork for me as to which exact lights i need to buy i'll provide that person with the first pictures of my new hotness (the car ya pervs) once complete :pepper:

My concern with doing everything in blue (and I DO have an obsession with blue LEDs) would be that it is not quite bright enough. I am very happy with my super white interiors with blue foot lighting. Almost three years and no issues. Replaced the map lights once, that was it.

I am wondering if you would be able to wire in an extra set of leds into the lights. Like regular standalone led's youd get from radio shack. I was thinking of putting some low light red ones in so I could switch them on without turning on the regular interior lights. Figured I could still read stuff and look around the car when I drop stuff without ruining my night vision since the lights would be red. Could I splice the wire to the interior lights and mount them inside?
