LED Interior Lighting For Your Evo

These are Japanese-made LED interior lights to replace the stock incandescent bulbs. They're not nearly as cheap as the ebay junk, but WAY nicer. Each one is custom-designed for the application. Really, really well thought-out parts. (I was sort of surprised. I mean, it's just a dome lamp, right?) For example, the Evo dome lamp housing is a bit curved, but the LED panel has to be flat. So it comes with a sort of flat precision-cut gasket that holds the LED panel to the housing with 3M adhesive. Very clever.

Here's the before and after pic of my Legacy GT:



Both pics were taken with the exact same exposure settings. (Sorry it's not the Evo...that car is under repair right now.)



For the Evo, there's a center dome light and a three-panel front map light set (pictured above). Find 'em both here:

Someone asked me if these will cause problems with the electrical systems, like LED turn signals can. The answer is no; these work just like a bulb, and your turn signals (and the rest of your electrical system) will work fine.

It's easy. There's no cutting or splicing. See how the unit pictured has a little dome-light-bulb-shaped thing with wires attached? You just put that in the bulb socket, then put the LED panels in place. It's simple.

You just pop the cover off, like you're changing the bulb. It's easy.

I don't have a map light, can I just get a dome light? Also, is there club discount?
