Talking to Arengant about LEDs, I decided to make a video of what they looked like.

I have been using http://www.autolumination.com for a few orders. No problems. I do see that they may not carry what I need for the interior lights, and I may have to look elsewhere. But, LEDing my trailer is more of a priority, first.

First, my backup bulbs are 22 Watt eagle eyes. Man, they are bright. So bright, they bounce off my trailer when trying to back up at night. I need to wire them to go off, and maybe to go on with a switch.



Now, my stop/tail and turns are older. They came off my caliber and were purchased about 3 years ago. I am using 60 SMT LEDs for those. They were the best when I bought them 3 years ago or so.





For my CHMSL, I use the 921 12watt bulb.



Here is the video here.

Do LED's operate at a higher temperature than the factory incandescent bulbs?
I've wanted to replace my brake and reverse bulbs with LED's but have concerns about bulb heat harming the lens.

Much less heat and current.
As the costs come down they will take over home lighting too
Some German car makers are switching to LED head lights.
I read yesterday in Automotive News that car dealers are switching to them on their car lots saving $$ on electric and they are lasting much much longer saving $$ on conventional bulb replacements. But the initial cost is more. Estimated payoff on electric bill is 6 years but savings from replacing normal bulbs makes it much sooner.
AND the light makes the cars look better too

As far as automotive uses go if a vehicle has circuirty for detecting burned out bulbs the lessened current may/could cause a computer to think a bulb is out.

I've already converted my travel trailer's outside lights that uses Bargman #84 fixtures to LED's. The below conversion is more expensive then just a bulb but provides a very bright light.

Holy crap those backup lights are bright . I don't think you changed the front indicators, did you? You can see a noticeable lag. The on/off transitions of the indicators are a lot crisper with LED.

22 watt? doo doo ,eze.. I just ordered 5 watt primary with additional column leds, we'll see how they compare.

I need daytime driving lights now also.

I put these in the cargo area of my Sprinter, all the OE bulbs burned out and were an odd ball size, so I went with the LEDs, found out polarity is important as well. They provide sufficient light until I turn on my 2 48" Fluorescent lights.

The Liberty doesn't have the burn out sensors does it? I have a brake light out and don't see any indicators.

I figure this would be a good time to swap out all the rears with LEDs.

I did the 5 watt -

I have not done my fronts yet. I have replaced my tails on my travel trailer with LED units. I would like to save the money to get some replacement bulbs for the interior of the trailer to replace when they burn out. darn incandescents get hot. Speaking of that, my CHMSL housing was a bit melted.

I am really impressed with the 22 watts. I am thinking LED replacements for the fogs.

Where did you go to get the replacement fog lights in LED? I'd be seriously interested in that, too!

I have to know first, which bulbs they are, since all publications list 2 possible bulbs -- H3-55W and the 9145.

http://autolumination.com/headlights.htm --- Scroll down a bit.

This is a 9145 LED


This is a H3 LED...Not as bright...

you ordered the resistors seperately? I'm going to do my turn signals/daytime running lights
