Looked like a mini Club Jay with that old dome light! I was quite nervous as you were _trying_ to get the cover clipped in, and glad you had success. I've been there, done that, and had my fair share of broken clips.
Yeah, it really did! Follow-up video Thursday on it. I got too nervous that it wasn't fitting in the way I thought it was supposed to, so I found a better way. The last thing I wanted to do was break that. Not that easy to replace. That is the bulb that is used most often, so it's not a surprise that it's the one that failed. Chances are good the map lights will be fine for quite some time to come. Worse though, was the rear lights, those were a royal pain to change out, and I honestly don't even remember how I did it. It wasn't fun, I remember that. Those don't come on when the front doors are opened, only when a rear door is opened, so they will have very little usage as well.
@@jaykay18 Looking forward to the followup. Yep, they might be getting a bit scarce at this point! Everyone knows, if you used GM brand LED bulbs, they'll never ever burn out!
Thanks this did indeed helped, although taking the bulb out was pain, what i did i put electrical tape on plyer and take the bulbs out that way, i tried with my hands but didn't work that way. Heads up by the way, if you want to do entire car with LED , you need total 10 T10 bulbs, this car takes nothing but T10, so don't buy all in 1 packs, 10 T10 and you are done.5 in the front, 2 in the back, 1 in the trunk and 2 license plate bulbs.
While not stated in the video, the bulb type is listed in the video description. As for a black light to put in there, the point is to be able to see inside the vehicle. There are different color ones you'll find, it's only a Google search away. Any color other than white defeats the purpose of the dome light entirely. Back in my day, we had incandescents, I could get them in red, blue, and green. Looked cool. Couldn't see in the car. Anyone else on the road could care less. These days they can't even look up from their phone before they hit you, defeating the entire purpose of a car.
@@fishface6247 Read them for every video you watch, there's often a wealth more information in them, especially in my videos, but in many others' videos as well.
@@fishface6247 OK, just remember, it's not about how fast the car goes, it's how fast it stops. The blacklight does let you slap on a +10 HP sticker though.
Depends what you want to buy. You can find bigger lots for little money, if longevity isn't a factor. Or you can pay a lot more for less, but get higher quality bulbs. Yes, they will work for 12 volt landscape lights, provided the base will fit.
I would normally agree with you 100%. Some of these automotive bulbs are not polarity sensitive and will work in either direction. But those are the only ones I have seen that aren't, no other LED will act like that. The package for the bulbs will stipulate if it polarity sensitive or not.
I did it before I saw the video but the same way Unfortunately the clips are very flimsy and they broke my car is 2010 now every time I switch the light it falls off 😕
I think it's more the fact that the plasticizers leach out of the plastic, that's what makes them flexible. With them gone, it's more brittle and easier to break. 3M makes something called adhesive transfer tape, it's like a double-sided scotch tape but without the mylar. With some careful application of it around the lens, it may fit a bit more snugly and not fall off. That may be just the ticket you need.
