Awesome New Product - HiLED Interior Dome Lighting!! [Archive] - Toyota Yaris Forums

Here is another great product from the guy's over at HiLEDS (www.hileds.com).

You will see the difference between stock dingy yellow and the HiLEDS is night and day! :eyebulge:

Quick and easy install, just take a small screw driver to remove the plastic dome light lens. Remove the stock bulb, and install the new HiLEDS part. The back of the 6 LED housing has double sided tape that gets removed, then just stick it in the location like my pictures.

Tripod used, no flash.

Enjoy. :smile:

Holy crap, that looks good. Nothing for the map lights yet?

I had to modify my dome light a bit when I moved it for the sunroof. I'll have to check to see if that will fit. Your photos are a great help.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ill have to ask him about the map lights... this was a tester for me, so not even sure when or if these are in production yet.

A group buy on Eagleye HIDs is already in the works.. Ill see about a "package deal."

The HiLEDS parking lights along with the Eagleye HID kit, is an awesome match.. you need to do the LED parking light if you get HIDs.

CHris, what's the dimensions of that LED panel?

No idea.. never thought to measure it. If your looking to do something custom with the LEDs, take a peek around their web site, there are quite a few products that can be made to work for lots of different applications.

Sweet lights, both the 194 wedge and the map dome light. Expensive however. I have used http://www.superbrightleds.com/ several times and been very impressed with their products.

Look at this, same high power194 wedge type bulb at 5500K color. $4.95 each for the WLED-WHP Pure White High Power.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=CAR&keywords=&cart_id=3779223.3936&next=50

Also festoon type map light bulbs starting under two bucks each.

Have you ever tried their LEDs? I have never had a problem or replaced one ever. All I know is that $35.00 is rediculous for a pair of 194 wedge type bulbs from hileds.com:thumbdown:

Actually YES. These were tested against superbrightleds replacement LED dome lights, and the HiLEDS came out on top...

Keep in mind, the superbrights use 12 leds, where the BRIGHTER HiLEDS only used 6!.

You are entitled to spend your money however you want, some dont mind paying extra for better, longer lasting results.

Not the festoon (that isn't available until February) - the PCB-Dome light.

01-20-2007, 04:05 AM

Is the dome light exactly the same in both LB/HB and Sedan?
I'm thinking of getting this too...i was actually looking for a bright replacement bulb before...good thing i didn't get anything yet...heh heh this is so much better!

01-20-2007, 09:40 AM

Got mine - unfortunately, they sent the wrong size. I wasn't even aware that there was more than one.

*sigh*

Chris07LB

01-20-2007, 09:57 AM

Yea, the middle piece, between the two ends does look longer then mine that I posted on the first page.

Violin

01-20-2007, 10:13 AM

Yeah - there's no way to cram that in there. The packaging references 31, 41 & 45mm lengths but there is no mention on the web site and no one there thought to ask which I needed.

I guess its off to the post office after I can speak to Bob.

Chris07LB

01-20-2007, 10:19 AM

Can you twist the ends off, and trim the center down a bit?

Chris07LB

01-20-2007, 10:22 AM

.....................on second thought, after looking at an extra HiLED i have here, you will need to heat one end up (loosen the soldered end), remove the end, cut the cylinder to size, slip the end back on, and re-solder. 5 minute job at most, or you can just return it for the correct one.

Violin

01-20-2007, 10:36 AM

Nah - I'm going to return it for the right one which (as best as I can tell) is the 31 mm length.

I'm extra pleased because I dropped the stock bulb as I was reinstalling it and it got lost - I think under one of the back seats. So now I have no dome light until the replacement arrives.

Doc Zaius

01-20-2007, 11:02 AM

Mine arrived yesterday and it is crazy bright! Not just that but it is a nice pure white and doesnt heatup. I went through a drivethru and turned it on to find change. The guy said wow what do you have in there! I want that in my car. I also installed the 194s in my girls girl (parking and license plate) and they look great. Not blue like the pictures but a very bright ice white. Im gonna get yellow ones for side markers and let you know.

Chris07LB

FYI - side marker bulbs DO NOT remove. Its a sealed housing, and unless you heat it, and open it without breaking it, then and only then can you change out the bulb.

I don't think it matters what store you order from. I placed my order and they're shipping it out without any problems. It came out to about $140 for all the lights needed to replace the factory ones. :)

how does this compare to the 6LED HiLED ones? I saw a 18 LED one on ebay as well. I kind of think that 18 LEDs would be less harsh on the eyes since it wouldn't be an extremely bright focused light..

I bought some 194-wedge LEDs on eBay, and they're pure crap compared to the 194 I have from HiLEDs. The eBay ones provide barely any light output and one died within a week. Pure crap.

You replaced all your interior lights didn't you?

What bulbs are needed to do this? I'm thinking it might be a nice little project to do pretty soon.

right now i have a 6-LED SMT LED 31mm festoon in there. I think its supposed to be like 2W or something. All that really matters is wattage. its too bad ebay sellers dont list the total wattage on there. I saw one that was 4W, that should be pretty bright. I wanted to test this one out: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&item=250371917586 - seeing as it can be used in 194/168 applications and 31mm festoon types. It has 24LEDs but i doubt they're high wattage. I highly doubt all 24LEDs combined are 4w. They're most likely 0.1w each. I figure it should be less harsh on the eyes though because the light isn't coming from a focused point. Too bad I got outbid on the auction and I'm just not willing to spend more than $7+S&H on it.

Map/reading lights, along with the rear trunk and rear license plate lights take 194 wedge bulbs. The dome light is either a 31mm or 32mm festoon. I can't remember.

^ i am running ebay 194's, but they're 1W with a heatsink on them. They're bright enough. Almost as bright as the stock map lights. I just bought a 24LED 31mm festoon. I'll take pictures of it installed. Hopefully its less harsh on the eyes since its 24 dimmer LEDs instead of 6 1W LEDs.
