I have almost complete LEDs. Here's a list:
Side markers
Map lights
Dome lights
Courtesy lights
Trunk light
Power outlet
Instrument cluster backlights
Aux gauges backlight
HVAC backlight (red)
Ash tray lights
Gear indicator light
Parking lights
Third brake light
Brake lights
Reverse lights
Turn signals
Pontiac lights
It seems I'm missing something.
Anyway, I'm pleased with the reverse lights, the brake lights, the turn signals, the third brake light, and most of the interior lighting. I think the side markers have room for improvement, not in the lighting department, but in the design. I'd like a plug that seals off the assembly. The dash backlighting is OK, but doesn't seem to work well with that orange metal.
The HVAC backlight is VERY RED, but dim. It's the only colored interior bulb I used. The courtesy lights are too blue. The under dash courtesy lights are nice in that they don't burn my arm when working under the dash. The courtesy lights provide great lighting. If I were to do the trunk light over, I'd use a different bulb. I went with the ”level 1” IIRC.
I'm not particularly pleased with the switchbacks. The amber is too dim, and the white is bluish.
The biggest problem with using LEDs is the difference in resistance. Some people had to use ballast resistors for tail lights, turn signals, and parking lights. I found I could get by without the ballast resistors if I went full LED. Basically, once the third brake light, both rear side markers, and the parking/turn signal lights were all LED with both relays changed to electronic relays, then I was good. I don't remember if I changed the turn indicators to LEDs or not.
The third brake light came with a housing and lens to replace the melted originals. Mine has 36 individual bulbs. Much cooler than the original.
The power light and ash tray lights are also cooler than the original bulbs, and should reduce heat damage.
