Dome lightbulb replacement: thread?
 
A while back someone posted a thread on how-to change
the domelight bulb to a larger size for more light.
I have searched and cannot find the thread.
Any ideas?

just pry the lil prongs that hold the bulb in. that or get the led bulbs from www.autolumination.com . we use the 31mm bulb . this site has bulbs of all sizes. so if u want u can bump it up a lil bit

What about the current draw for a different bulb? I'd hate to set my xB on fire just to get more light...

hotbox05 12-23-2004 04:13 AM

it wont. it wont draw more current. there is only so much there. all it could do (which will be very minimal) will light up slightly less but with more leds it's still more light.

I see how that would work when swapping out for leds. I will have to order a replacement soon.

Thanks!

Let me get this straight... the LED replacement bulb is brighter than stock?
:?:

those LED ones look tight. im def. gonna get one.

hotbox05 12-24-2004 04:19 AM

yes the 4 led one is brighter than stock and he has quick shipping too.

hotbox05 12-26-2004 07:42 PM

the regular led ones blow you need the "matrix" ones and those are bank so i stayed away. i just bought a set of red ones from him and i love em. theyre bright and red and that all that matters to me.

WheelSee 12-26-2004 07:51 PM

yea I know that but the LED would prolly still be better than stock am I right? I've seen Brocks but he had the HelixTail Lights....

hotbox05 12-26-2004 07:58 PM

nah the regular forward faving leds blow arse. i can send u mine for the price of shipping if you want. they dont reflect off the back. they work fine for nighttime use but blow for daytime.the cyrstalized lights kill the effectiveness of led

They also make a brighter halogen (i think) bulb that fits in the stock location.

WheelSee 12-26-2004 08:08 PM

hmmm so would getting the helix taillights make a difference if I went with the LED bulbs?

~wC

hotbox05 12-26-2004 08:13 PM

um yeah theyd be brighter. you'd still need the "matrix" bulbs for best results tho.

WheelSee 12-26-2004 09:28 PM

well yeah obviously...but I'm not ready to drop that much money...

~wC

hotbox05 12-26-2004 09:29 PM

well i'll give u mine for the price of shipping

WheelSee 12-26-2004 09:33 PM

ok lemme know what shipping is to 20009...
