LED dome lights

[TominMO]

Anyone used these in place of the normal pointy ones? Here is a link to a number of pages of them on Amazon:

Yep I've got one in my B6T car. They work great with the festoon adapters.

I got an smd led in my escort dome swap. Super bright. I love it. Had to buy two when I bought them. If you want the spare I have pm me your address.

Sent from Kingston Ga from my hillbilly handheld

I received one of these today that I ordered a couple weeks ago.
I put it in and it doesn't light up. Checked voltage with a meter and it is getting a 12.6V

You think the light is defective or am doing something wrong.

[crazyrog17]

I think I had to pull apart the festoon adapter and make sure the wires were contacting the caps. LEDs are polarity sensitive so try switching the orientation of the adapter if that doesn't work

[1990new]

I switched the polarity and it works. Thanks:sunny:

It's nice.
How did you attach yours inside the Escort dome?

[crazyrog17]

The 3M tape sucked. It just rests on the lens, but you could get creative. A couple little screws or liquid nails..?

Resting on the lens sounds fine to me. Now I'm going to order a couple more of these.

I got some that look like the first one on the Amazon page you linked except a 31mm length, 16 led's I think. Works fine after the contacts are bent downward enough for the width to clear. Lights it up really well. I have them in both my cars in the escort fixtures.

TominMO,

Thought you saw the one I picked up when I was out your way a year ago!
think I still have the package.
Works great, and even if you leave the light on all day the car will still start!

Think I'll order some of these: http://www.amazon.com/12-SMD-Festoon...led+dome+light

Will these fit in the Escort cargo light holders?

Check and see what the Escort light is. The Amazon LED tells what it replaces.
