and i know 1 guy who had damage to one of hes eyes because of an UV light was bad in the club.........

 

A tube black light is a basically a fluorescent lamp with a different sort of phosphor coating. This coating absorbs harmful shortwave UV-B and UV-C light and emits UV-A light (in the same basic way the phosphor in a fluorescent lamp absorbs UV light and emits visible light). The "black" glass tube itself blocks most visible light, so in the end only benign long-wave UV-A light, along with some blue and violet visible light, passes through.

An incandescent black light bulb is similar to a normal household light bulb, but it uses light filters to absorb the light from the heated filament. It absorbs everything except the infrared and UV-A light (and a little bit of visible light).

Depends on UV LED, some might not cause damage, but some will...
But it's best to avoid UV LED that is near out eye...
It's best to be avoid them then sorry...

 

get blue lights............... for the parking lights the uv is okay.. i think..........

 

Cool, thanks for clarifying. Put the UV's in mostly for show. bu considering the information, will have to figure something else out.

Thanks again for the FYI.

 

28 Pages and not a single Amber LED user? Or did i miss it? I was interested in using Amber for the domes and super white for the map lights. If anyone has used Amber, i would love to see pics or atleast know if the Amber matches the amber gauges and interior of the tc.?

Also, i seen this used for the dome a few pages back. Would this work well for the license plate lights, since it appears to be very white with no blue color.

 

dont use that for the license plate... it will be not bright enough..

 

Can you point me in the right direction? As white and bright as possible. Thanks,

 

they were pretty bright for me along with the other who used them.

 

those are pretty bright...

 

i made a write up a few pages ago...

you gonna find it easy.. its a really big post with some pics of the leds...

 

I got my LEDs today!!! See the pics below as well as the full collection at the Flickr link below.









More pics at this link...

 

nice!!!!! the amber led is kinda yellow compared to the factory bulbs??? because i need ( jdm [?] ) yellow for my bro 08 parking lights but the only thing what they sell is white.. red.. blue.. green. amber...

 

Thanks man. I got my front ones done! back will be done soon. Thanks alot for this DIY

 

i just installed my new white dome lights:

921-x12 LED Wedge Base Bulbs



the blue must be greenish but the white is SOOOO MUCH brighter than the 6 led one.. i love the white one whit this 12 leds..

 

Are the amber LEDs (the ones recommended at the beginning of the topic) close to the same color as the amber of the gages?

Also, I don't want something thats too bright if I have to turn it on at night (to look for something, ect.), should I get the x4-LED or stick with the x6-LED?




Sorry if someone already mentioned this, I looked through the topic, but didn't notice it.

 

the amber bulbs actually put out less light than stock bulbs, but they do cast the same color as the rest of the interior so they match nicely. I used amber for dome lights and the white for the map lights, so if i really need to see something i always use the map lights.

 

if u dont need too bright leds u can try this:

WLED-x LED Wedge Base Bulbs


they have 1 super bright led on the top.. they are not that bright but maybe this what you looking for...

 

oh and about the amber...

my bro has a new 08 tc.. and i wanted to get him some yellow leds for his parking light but there is no yellow led so i went to the autozone store and got some amber bulb for him... i installed it for him and the color is really good! almost yellow.. much much better than the stock bulbs!!!!
if u need yellow lights try the amber leds!!!! of the amber leds arent that yellow go to an auto store and get those amber bulbs ( they have yellow packaging)

 

Thanks for the info! I'll be ordering them tonight. =)

 

well, me being a dumbass, i ordered two blues and one white for the front dome, when i wanted one blue and two whites. i sent them an email after i ordered, so i hope they fixed it.

but i ordered them a week ago(exactly). havent come yet, said they shipped on the 23rd.
