Good one stop shop for interior and plate LEDs?

[ice512]

Hey guys,

What's a good one stop shop who can can install all of the interior and plate bulbs after a purchase? Not a handy guy myself and wouldn't mind paying someone $15 bucks for ~15 minutes of work. Just want to get it done right and saves me the headache of breaking something.

Nextmod? Garage 16? Or Pmall?

Thanks in advance!

Personally I don't know this for sure...but I honestly don't think you are going to find any place that will do an install for anything for $15 minimum is going to be their going rate for half an hour...but I feel like for all the interior lights and licence plate light it would take more than half an hour.

$15 is way too low

all the lights have a little tab you just press a screwdriver in and pop them out. you can probably find a video on youtube showing you. It'll take you all of ten minutes to do all of them. I picked up all interiors and license lights for about $8 on ebay several months ago and they're going strong. Really easy to swap

Interiors - they mention trim pullers which are great if you have them but you could always put a standard head screwdriver in a cloth and pop them out

Regardless of how much it would cost to get installed, I am interested also if there are any stores that have a good priced kit of LED's for the Mazda 3? Kind of like the Corksport one.

Garage 16 has them for sale.

Garage16, Nextmod, Pmall all these places have them and they aren't that expensive.

For the lights I've changes. 'front light where the sunroof control is, the license plate lights' they're all peanut bulbs. Pull out and install new bulb. Very simple

just make sure whoever installs it for $15 doesnt break off all the tabs

I find the best prices at Pacific Mall, I usually just buy all the bulbs at once and they always give a discount, but if you don't mind waiting and are in no rush definitely go on eBay and take a look.
As for the install, it should be quick and painless.

I'm interested in changing the license plate light only, for now. Noob here....can anyone share some links from ebay to the right bulbs? are there several to choose from or just one that everyone is using?

So ebay is cheaper than pmall? because I'm really close to pmall but in no rush...I'll go with the cheaper one if quality is all the same

I'm pretty sure the bulb is 2825, Pacific Mall will be like $10 for 2, but they should be able to give you 1 without any issues.

Here is a link on ebay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/T10-Wedge-10SMD-3528-LED-W5W-194-168-501-2825-Side-White-Light-Lamp-Bulb-New-/190862064671?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7043fc1f&vxp=mtr&_uhb=1

Just search the bulb number and you might even be able to get so,etching cheaper or a whole kit

Pretty good service.

Thanks a lot guys! I will check it out soon.

From the info I've read on here, I require T10, I don't know if that's specific to gens..further to just being T10, there's a ton of varieties as to how many of those LED chips you want on the thing, the more the brighter.

I clicked on some YouTube links that showed how to replace the old bulbs, but I've never done anything electrical before LOL maybe I could take you up on the offer..haha

I'm a complete noob and I replaced the interior and plate LEDs myself, it really couldn't be easier.

Diode dynamics, fair prices and good service.

So what's the difference between something along the lines of:
http://www.amazon.ca/White-5050-Bulb-Wedge-Light/dp/B00CBQY8MC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1P3V1A1YY173MJ9MCP1R
http://www.amazon.ca/HDE%C2%AE-Super-White-LED-Bulb/dp/B005DEQPR0/ref=sr_1_50?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1393384291&sr=1-50&keywords=t10+led+white

I'm seeing different shapes, mostly looking like these chip boards. There's another kind that seems housed in a glass capsule like thing with silver metal ends. Do both fit?

They seem to have all sorts of different length/spec measurements too even though license plate ones are all T10...which ones are right? This is extremely complicated..

[Default User]

The yellow dot ones are SMD and are (apparently) more efficient than the older style Bulb LED's (glass capsule looking ones)


Don't overthink it.

IIRC the plates lights are T10/194 wedge bulbs (aka Peanut style). Get the ones that have the diodes all around and on the end (basically either one of those you have linked to amazon)

[smallfry]

But are there certain length/width/height dimensions depending on the year/model or are we all using the same stuff?
