StephCohen · 03-12-2006, 01:13 PM

Hi everyone i wanted to do this a long time ago on my old civic but never got the chance.. now that i have the new one i really wanna get this done. Im wondering if anyone knows of a place that sell high intensity 12 v ready made LED brake lights,turn signal light, Taillights.....

Thanks guys.

Are you looking for bulbs or the full assemblies? If you are looking for bulbs I am doing a complete bulb replacement on the tails (except turn signal) and interior lighting, I bought my leds (bulbs) from superbrightleds.com, or superlumination.com, superbrightleds are a bit cheaper in cost, check them out if your looking for bulbs. I am going to post the bulb numbers about mid week when I install (to make sure i got the right ones) so check back

StephCohen · 03-12-2006, 10:19 PM

thanks man thats exactly what i was looking for.. I guess we need the wedge one for the tail and brake lights.. But if it works out for you let me know and i will get the same models you did.

I installed the leds on the taillights and the interior dome and map light tonight (will post pics this weekend) note: these are based off a sedan ex model, not a guarantee to fit on coupe, dx, lx models

the bulb numbers are as follows:
EXTERIOR
Headlight (low) - 9006 (HB3)
Headlight (high) - 9005 (HB4)
Fog lights - H11
Taillight (led/bulb) - 7443
Rear Turn Signal (led/bulb) - 7443
Reverse (led/bulb) - 7440
Rear Sidemarker (led/bulb) - 194
Rear Trunk (led/bulb) - 194 *SEDAN ONLY*
Rear License (led/bulb) - 194
Front Turn Signal (led/bulb) - 1157 *NOT CONFIRMED*

INTERIOR
Front Map Lights (led) - 3022
Rear Dome Light (led) - 3022
Rear Trunk Light (led/bulb) - 194
Rear High Mount Stop Light (led/bulb) - 7440

The LED's I used are as follows:
Taillight (15 led) - 7443 (2) red in color
Rear Reverse (15 led) - 7440 (2) white in color
Rear Sidemarker (4 led) - 194 (2) red in color
Rear Trunk (4 led) - 194 (2) red in color *SEDAN ONLY*
Rear License (5 led, wide angle) - 194 (2) white in color
Front Map Light (4 led, festoon) - 3022 (2) white in color
Rear Dome Light (4 led, festoon) - 3022 (1) white in color

all led's were purchased from superbrightleds.com
hope this info can help

I was very interested in doing this. How is brightness of LEDs? I'd do it if they are brighter, but probably pass on them if not. Let us know!

**CameronJr9** · 03-16-2006, 06:45 AM

What was your final cost for all of the lights?

Retread · 03-16-2006, 08:05 AM

How does the brightness compare to regular bulbs?
Cost?

06exhfp · 03-16-2006, 09:02 AM

Just confirmed the front turn signal is 1157 NON-WEDGE type bulb (led/bulb),
i will see if i can get some pictures of comparisons between the normal bulb and leds up on here this weekend when i get back in town. The total for all the leds were 63.66 from superbrightleds.com.

The interior (ie, map lights and rear dome) were brighter due to the white light produced by the bulb, along with this mod I have also installed the Honda footwell lighting led kit (lights in blue to match existing dash scheme) if anyone is interested i got the kit from collegehillshonda.com it came to 97.00 shipped i believe, it works really well and looks good on my nighthak black pearl sedan, i will take pics of that as well

Retread · 03-16-2006, 10:08 AM

Thanks for the update. That's not a bad price for all those bulbs. I like the footwell lighting you mentioned. May have to look into that. I will stick with the stock map lights, as those are plenty bright for me. Post pics when you can.

I ordered all the lights you mentioned, I ordered the 1157-A19 wide angle bulbs. Did you order the 24 led?

I will tell everyone if the beam pattern is wide enough for the turn signals.

06exhfp · 03-16-2006, 12:20 PM

I didnt do the front turn signals yet because I didnt want to put a resistor on the factory wiring (so the speed of the blinking doesnt change, ie faster), but I think I am changing my mind on this I think around the first of the month I will change those out as well (f/r) they sell the resistor for the turn signals if you are doing both left and right, front and rear you will need one per turn signal bulb (total of 4) as this will solve the "bulb out indicator" or fast blinking. If the 24 led ones work let me know if they will do the job or not

***Celcius*** · 03-17-2006, 01:00 AM

Look foward to the pictures, and maybe a DIY

FusionSi11 · 03-17-2006, 02:24 AM

StephCohen · 03-17-2006, 01:54 PM

Did you get the rear brake light aswell...?

**8thgenuser** · 03-17-2006, 07:47 PM

Can't wait to see some pics!

joonoo · 03-22-2006, 09:20 PM

Still waiting on the PIC!!! Please update it

**twistedframe** · 03-23-2006, 10:27 AM
