I was always admiring those experts, who could create something barely with their hands. They were like the big guy, create something from nothing. I thought I would be one of them someday. So here I was, doing some DIY with my car. I started with width lamp, door lamp, brake lights<\/a>, and trunk lights.<\/p>\n

Width lamp: 1.5W width lamp made of ceramic. This kind of lamp is resistant to high temperatures even at 260 centigrade.
\nDoor lamp: width lamp. 6-heads LED lights for door illuminating.
\nTrunk lights: LED lights with 4 smd5050 leds.
\nBrake lights: LED lights with 27 smd5050 leds.<\/p>\n

It was the first step that costs troublesome. I would like to start with the easy one–door lamp. I dragged the original bulb from lampshade. Then screw shade off C.W. Do not touch with bare hands. It was burnt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were positive and negative electrodes in LED lamps, so if it did not work, you could try the opposite direction to screw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cover with shade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It worked pretty well at night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trunk lights: first, pull a little from left, and then pry it out from the right side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before take off the bulb, unplug power supply. Be careful, it burnt. Change the new LED lamps in the right spot (marked with red circle).
\nPerfectly matched.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Electrify it. It worked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How it worked at night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s turn to brake light. Open trunk, and take off the cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unscrewing those 4 bolts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used this for unscrew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Screw C.W. brake light base. Then you would see the bulb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then screw C.W. Brake light bulb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Replace it with LED strips and then do those 2 steps in an opposite way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how it works at night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brake light is on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The very last one: width lamp. Open engine cover, and pull off dust cover of headlamp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was how it looked inside headlamp. See the bulb with one black and one blue wire, and marked with red circle? This was width lamp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pull it out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unscrew the bulb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See the difference between the original one and the LED one?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Charge with electricity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Put it back into the headlamp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow~it looked like a pair of Evil Eyes at night!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It worked pretty well when dipped headlight was on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
