2009 Sedan dome LED question

[47_MasoN_47]

Alright, so I bought some LED dome lights (supposed to work in the map too supposedly) from ebay (came with 2 of them) and they are just a bit too long to fit in the dome bulb and just completely different from the map bulb. I've searched around on here but haven't really found anything unfortunately. Can someone recommend a good BRIGHT white LED map and dome light replacement bulb for the 2009 sedan? I don't like that nasty yellow glow and all the heat that comes off the regular filament bulb in the map/domes now. If at all possible, I'd like responses from people who have done this to their vehicle so the results are certain. I don't want to buy them and then have another unusable product lying about.

Thanks a lot,

Mason

nice link goliath! ;)

i sell sets of led's for sedans and hatches....$15 shipped....PM me your paypal and i can send them out

[47_MasoN_47]

The Micro Image forums seem to be down or something. I can't see the link in the first page of thebarber's thread :( How's the brightness compared to factory? Also, when you say set you mean 1 dome bulb and 2 map bulbs?

Thanks!

BTW here's what I have now.

factory dome is a 31mm bulb, hatch is 36mm, map lights are a wedge bulb. the 31 and 36mm bulbs i sell are high wattage and are much brighter than that 4-led bulb you've got there. the wedges are sell for the map lights have 5 led's in them and are SUPER bright



here are some pics of the led's installed...exposure makes them look bluey, a bit

Hi,

Can I ask...
how come your yaris have only 2 control knobs in the middle column instead of 3??.....

top one is being modded for automatic climate control...if you're referring to the LED pics

Your imagination is conjuring up problems which don't exist. The fact of the matter is that you want LED bulbs because you've decided that you want LED bulbs. An honest presentation of your desires will likely get you better answers.

So... why do you want to use LED bulbs? Surely the intense heat of the stock incandescents are not broiling you alive in the driver's seat. That said, you're likely going to find LED lighting to be annoyingly directional, even for directional applications like map lights. And forget it for dome lights. Spend a moment to consider, critically, the LED hype, and how it relates to what you really want out of a dome light bulb.

I really want LED because I hate that nasty yellow glow and the heat that comes off them. If I leave the map light on for a bit it feels like it's hot enough to cook a steak on. Yeah the white light looks a lot better, but the heat is the main thing. Oh and if I leave them on I don't have to worry about my battery dying unless I go on a month long trip or something haha.

Don't try to tell me why I'm doing something unless you have done some sweet ghost hacking, tapped into my brain, and downloaded my thoughts, in which case I applaud your 1337 skills. </ghost in the shell references>

Really?

If I leave the map light on for a bit it feels like it's hot enough to cook a steak on.

From what distance can you detect this? There may be something very *wrong* with your Yaris.

Don't try to tell me why I'm doing something unless...

I'm only concerned for your safety. If your lamp lenses are hot enough to act as cooking vessels, this subject needs to be investigated more thoroughly.

So... are we talking about a safety issue... or do you just want trendy LED lights? Is this a practical matter? Or a fashion statement?

it doesn't really matter why he wants them, he has just made up his mind that he does. he simply wants to know where to get some that will actually fit his car. you don't need to agree with him, that's why you have your own car.

[sbergman27]

it doesn't really matter why he wants them, he has just made up his mind that he does.
Then he could say "I've made up my mind, for no good reason, that I want LED bulbs" rather than conjuring fictional justifications in the form of hand-frying, steak cooking map light bulbs.

He has the "I want"'s. Truth need not be a casualty of that.

Dude, what is your problem? Alright, in order to turn the map light off again after turning it on, one must touch it. During this point of contact between my finger and the light, the light is hot. I don't like it. I want it to be regular temperature. Thus I install LEDs and eliminate the problem. YES I LIKE THE FREAKING LOOKS, I MENTIONED THAT EVERY TIME but it does eliminate the heat problem when I turn the light off. The map light also got hot enough that when I turned the slider I could feel it and it was uncomfortable. With the LEDs from thebarber, the problem is eliminated, the light is brighter, and it's got a nice pure color instead of that nasty yellow.

thebarber, the LED package you put together is awesome! The entirety of the cabin is lit nice and bright :) Thanks!

hey, no problem, glad you like 'em

[Qilene15]

I also bought a set of thebarber's LEDs and they're awesome!

Just one problem lol. When putting in one of the overheard lights (nearest the front of the car), the black glasket that holds the bulb fell out, and I cannot find it. Those bulbs were kinda hard to pull out so I guess it fell out when I yanked out the original incandescent bulb. Where can I buy a new one, if I can't find it?

Also, the dome light bulb does fit in the sedan trunk, just incase anyone was wondering. My car has an awesome glow w/ the lights on, now.

The trunk light in my sedan is the same as the map lights. How does the dome light fit in there?

Might've mixed up the terminology, I always confuse which is dome and which is map. The trunk light is the same bulb as the two closest to the driver, not the wedge bulb.

[goliath1812]

Gotcha. We're on the same page now :)

[Dadombomb15]

I thought the map lights and dome lights were the same size?

I'll post pics of my LEDs tonight if I remember to take some pics. I've been meaning to, but always forgot to.

[Dadombomb15]

check out the pics on page 1

it must be different for the 07 vs the 09 sedan then, looked at a list for the 07 sedan and map/dome are the same bulb size :iono:

Nope, don't go by the Sylvannia list. The map lights are 194's, and I forget what length the dome light is. Trunk is also a 194 connector.

[goliath1812]

yup, mine is an 07. map lights are the same as the trunk light. dome is different.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/YarisKaos/LEDs/All%20LEDs/DSC_0005.jpg

Info:
Trunk LEDs are three 6-inch V-LED strips rated at 5000k.
Dome and map lights are HiLEDs rated at 6000k.
Footwell LEDs are two 11-inch (one on each side) eBay strips. The order said white, but they're more like 8000k. Kinda disappointed since I would like everything to be 5000 or 6000k, but for 3 bucks each shipped, can't complaint too much.

can u drive with those on?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I try not to because it'll bring attention to my car. hahahaha. Turning on just one of the map lights is doable, but having both on, or having the dome light on will be too bright.
