Interior LED Lighting?

It gets very dim. Sometimes I have to do a double take at my feet to make sure they are on.

 

I like the amber glow in the glove box, and would like it in the upper box as well. Any thoughts of unloading the ones you took out? I have a type-III, so no footwell lighting for me, but I'd like it.

 

Sure... just PM me and we'll work out the details. Thanks.

 

Totally agree, especially with the center bridge and gear shift blocking additional light into that region. I think my next project is to find some way to illuminate that "shelf." Been on the hunt for a led light that can be mounted underneath there and plug into the 12V charger... or even somehow tap into it....

 

This is what I did:

No, not in one place. I dont really have much time to spend on it. I am working 24/7 until after the first of the year. If I can do it, anyone can.

 

Just finished replacing a bunch of bulbs on my (and my wife's) Prius and wanted to say thanks so much to Antiflash for the part numbers and to Paradox. Things went much smoother than I thought they would.. Was a bit scared changing the map lights - pulling down the center console was somewhat scary and it seemed like all my snaps let go at once, so when it came down, there was this huge noise and I thought for sure I broke something But I didn't. I changed out a total of 14 bulbs across two cars and didn't break a single clip or cover!

I can't find the thread now, but I thought I saw somewhere here that in order to change out the license plates lights, you needed to remove the whole back panel from the hatchback. It was much easier than that. There are two panels inside the hatch back that pop off. The plastic is pretty flexible, so I doubt you'll break them. I popoped them off from the side with a small screwdriver. The clips are at the top.



Once those are off, you've got access to the license plates lights. You'll see a wiring connector going to the bulb:



Unplug the power connector by pressing on either the top of bottom and pulling straight back.



That gray plastic thing is the bulb housing. I used pliers and took it out by rotating it 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and pulling it out.



Remove the bulbs from the housing and insert your LEDs.



Put everything back together. When putting the bulb housings back in, turn clockwise until you hear then click into place.


Now I only have the overhead dome light and rear storage area light to replace. Unfortunately, it looks like superbrightleds.com no longer carries the part numbers Antiflash used. I found some that I think will work, but the color is a different temperature (I think 5500K versus 7500K). I'm not sure if I will notice the difference or not, so I'm holding off on those for now.

FYI, I replace my door lights with blue LEDs since I have a blue Prius. My wife saw them and wants blue ones for her Prius, even though it's silver. As a result, I have two extra WLED-WHP5 LEDs is anyone wants them. I'll sell them at my cost - $6 each, no postage. PM me if you want them.

Thanks again to everyone who posted on this thread!! It's helped me so much!!

 

What colour are they? I want to get rid of the amber ones in favour of a white LED or blue.

 

The bulb from parts.com is only one color, white.
Here's a picture of what they look like after:

Glad the part numbers worked out for you! I love LEDs and have been so stoked to have them in and on my Prius lighting up the world

 

This is an image I saw on Ebay.

The price for this is $495. I think it is really overpriced.

I think this is just a LED effect.

If anyone has done this, please give me a guideline of how to do this. I would really appreciate!

Thanks a lot, guys!

 

I know I've paid a lot of accessories for my Prius but I am not paying that kinda money for just some interior cabin lights.

 

Alright guys, I'm in a little need of assitance here if you don't mind. I'm trying to order the bulb to replace the dome light over the rear passenger area. I'm trying to order the "3022 WHP2" bulb. the "W" stands for white. However, if I look on superbrightleds.com I can't find the bulb. All I see is "3022-BHP2" which is the blue version. Is there anyone here that can please help me get the white this bulb?! Thanks!

-Cheers.
