Dome light is a WLED-WHP6


All of the small lights in the TCH are the same "194" base wedge, except for the glove box and the gear selector. Those a tiny little things, that I haven't even figured out how to get them out yet.

 

hmmmm . . . mine has what i guess is called a festoon . . . contacts on each end . . . cylindircal with a metal cone on each end . . .

 

Really??? OHhhhhhhh You don't have a sunroof, do you?

 

That's it! No, I don't. I guess I'll try one of these:

3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb
30mm (1.181 inches long)12 VDC Festoon Base Bulb with 9 LEDs



I did go for the Blue WLED-B5 for the door lights. Cool White for map and license. Looks good!

You're right, that trunk light is anemic.

Thanks!

 

Where'd you get the "festoon" LEDs from? Can you link me?

I opted to go no sunroof, basically the barebones TCH, but then had a third party install heated leather seats. I didn't want a sunroof (bad experience, I might elaborate sometime, wish I had pictures!), I got ALL leather seats, unlike the factory leather seats which are really only genuine leather in the middle of the seat, the rest is that leatherette crap, and it saved me 2 grand.

 

Nevermind, found it after a little bit of looking on the site Intrus gave us

 

It looks like, from your "My TCH Lighting Upgrade" page, that you replaced your HIDs with LEDs. What process and materials did you use? How long (and laborious) is the upgrade?

And most importantly, have you seen better performance from your battery, and how do the headlights perform?

Thanks!

 

read this thread, it gives the parts he used and the process.

would like to know about the battery performance, that would be interesting.

 

The headlights are Digital HID, a retro fit from Retro Solutions.

As for battery life, the current draw is just about 50% over the stock head lights. The interior is another story. The power draw is about 1.5% of the stock. To put it into real life terms, my lovely daughter turned on ALL of the interior lights the day we left for vacation. 15 days later, I walked into the garage and realized that the lights were on. Battery read 12.65v.

 

I plan on posting a HID DIY installation guide this weekend based on my experience installing a Mobile HID digital HID solution.
