Cheap LEDs? Ebay. Good LEDs for a little bit more? Go to Superbrightleds.com. Brownings is the guy to talk to when it comes to LEDs. He IS a light *****... Residential light *****, at that.

You can buy 5 meter rolls of waterproof LED strips from eBay for prices ranging from $10-15 quantity is good, installed them in several trucks and they last. Not to mention they're brighter than the autozone ones. You just need to be able to solder to install them since they have to be cut and wired. I did this with mine.

The LED guide thread in my signature will tell you what bulbs you'll need to replace the dome lights and such. That makes a huge improvement on it.


And as he stated I am a light ***** lol and I'm willing to answer whatever illumination questions you may have lol.

Pulled a hot wire from my cigarette lighter, ran it to a switch and ran all the lights off a switch, no fuse needed. The cup holder and lighter cubby light are powered off the factory cupholder light harness.

Do you have a picture off all your switches so I can see where to put?
