well after taking my LED's to school to figure out what the problem was, it was s simple case of reversed polaritys :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface:
it was embarrsing to say the least.
anyway here are some before, in progress, and finished shots, for anyone who has a TR and would like to undertake this themselves

Finished! 2 (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/dodgeviper89/LED019.jpg)

now some good points and bad over the standard festoon.
good:
Provides a Super Cool white Light
teriffic light for back seat passengers
bad:
Light for driver and passenger are pathetic to say the least, gives virtually no light to driver or passenger

well the final pics dont do it justice, it just looks so mad finally being in now!

oh and p.s. if i'd have known about the LED's in the festoon shaped bulb i would of just changed bulbs :doubt: (Magnat style)

Well it is Definately way Brighter then mine...
Well done...Yes Polarities with LED's Can be embarrassing...

Cool, looks good. Now if only green was easier to photograph i'd put mine up.

thanks guys, yeah im loving the new lights, just gives a whole new feel to the car.
now for my next project which will be LED Licence plate lights.
im going to put more reseach into this but its a simple (-) and (+) so i should have to many hassles.
il let ya's know how it goes

As for no light for front passenger and the driver, Ive bought the front maplight and interior light assembly from a diamante off ebay

I wonder how long you will last until you get defected for LED's around the number plate ;) (unless they're white of course)

Good to hear that you've finished it though :thumbsup:

Looks cool, the only downside as u have mentioned was not enough light for passangers. Think that is wasted. Is it legal to do led round the number plates? Looks to tacky for me.

good effort.

im sure its legal?

and NO im not going to put tacky gay green or red LED's they will be WHITE ONLY.

fuzzlet, how much were the lights off ebay id love to get these, as you know the interior lighting is already poor but this has just made it a tad worse.

LEDS around the number plate could be defectable, im unsure, but replacing the lights with leds in the exact postion doesen give any logical reason for a defect..unless they give too much light and turns the number plate into just a mirror for cameras lol

yeah dont see why you'd want people to see your plate better, unless its custom, but i like the intiative you have shown, good work.

yeah ill be etting customs within the next few months so it'll just be preperation

It was US$9.99 plus US$25 for shipping. It is a light for the front, plus has 2 map lights :)

0o0o0o0o0 they sounda alright ill search for some on ebay - are they ahh, easy to install? (if i do get my hands on some ill try to make em LED lights again....but the easy way not the noob way like these ones!)

Hi all, TUFF TR is the led's stroger or is it my imagination?

Thanks TRELAMENOS...

Hey Crazy man :) Good to see another greek on AMC :P

LEDs = awesome when done well!! :)

Well done Tuff TR!
I bought the LED bulb replacement thingies for mine - Blue LEDs in the front map lights, centre light (both from a Verada) and the rear wagon light.
Not as bright as white but I like it.

Hey Puck - are the ahh verada lights hard at all to wire in, im thinking about doing this to the car as the standard magna as pi$$ poor lighting.

and looks very nice btw thats the effect im going for :cool:

Actually in my car, the rear and middle lighting is fantasic. The front needs help, hence why Ive bought this thing. It will arrive soon

No, it wasn't hard and that's saying something - I'm not very mechanically or electronically minded.

I bought the Verada centre light and front map lights from the wreckers.
You must get the mounting metal bracket as well as the lights - the bracket is different to the exec one. But the holes in the roof match up (centre & front).
For the front map lights, I just spliced into the existing wire going to the centre light using standard wire connector things from a hardware store.

Hardest thing was cutting the roof linning to make the centre hole bigger and to make a hole for the front lights. (one cut, and there aint no going back - gulp.) I tried a couple of different types of knives, but found a steak knife from the kitchen worked best (much to my wife's dismay).

Will be interesting to see what Fuzzlet's lights look like when he gets them.

whenever i can go wreckers i think i might try and get some of these lights. i mean the way you described it doesnt sound so bad, so heck why not give it a try.

of and do you have any pictures of the end result?

Need the mounting bracket eh? Damn. Looks like another trip out to the wreckers for me. Whilest Im at it im gonna get bits for electric windows :D

those lights look ultra cool, not to mention the ones under the car, damn i wish i could do up my car too.
whenever i can go wreckers i might try to get one as they look like a great addition

Interesting. The light I bought must of been a centre light....hmmm
