    Globes Globes LEDS

    Ive got the wind up me about my Patrol, finding all this stuff I want to do.

    Its the little things

    Has anyone detailed all the globes in the car, wattage, list of globes, etc? Or is the a workshop manual thing?
    Ive been hunting down leds on ebay and dx.com but so many choices, different strengths, coloured/not coloured, just gets downright confusing.

    Would be great if there was some kinda standard, like 320lm, wattage, etc.
    Buy this pack to replace everything for this make/model.

    I mean, there is stuff like this .. which is pricey .. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Pa...item417227bd62

    Then you get the Chinese stuff, globe at a time, *sigh*

    This is gunna be a mission.

    Every globe in my Patrol is LED, love it
    T10 are the small wedge and T20 are the larger wedge, front T20 need to have wires on both sides as its a dual filament.
    Meaning its gets brighter when you put on your indicator.
    Tip buy white globes for red reflector {brake}

    Yea, couldnt really see a need for coloured lights as the plastic in the bumper should be sufficient. Not sure about the front tho. Ill spend the weekend tallying up and see where i end up, ta.

    If that be the case that every globe is LED, what quantity, type and lumens are dash lights mate?

    Ok fantastic, ill look that up .. would be great if someone out there did complete replacement packs. The hard part is working out exaclty what i need.
    That bottom left picture .. no less than 5 different types of globes there .. Seems i need to go to each globe, not the type, size, etc and then find replacements.

    Any recommendations on where to purchase? Seems dx.com should be fine for these?

    The left side globes were different types I used in TJM bull bar, my reverse lights have 120 smd led per globe that's 2 on each side very bright in the bush
    Tops I paid was $8 a globe been on the Patrol now for 3 years no probs. Be wary of the coloured ones especially amber, great at night not very good in daylight
    You'll also need a LED relay for the indicators or 50 ohm resistors

    @THREEDOGS you'd be better off with this type of globe for your reverse light, much bright than the type you're showing. This is a 7W LED.

    Is there a standard on whats acceptable for leds? 7W for brakes/indicators/reverse? .. dont want to burn people's retina's out .. or have space agencies thinking im an alien spacecraft.
