How to convert your escalade to LED!

[roccos_van]

Hey Guys,

With all the LED talk going on here lately, i've decided to do a thread on converting your Escalade to LED.

Fist off, let me just say i consider myself an 'Amateur expert' on automotive lighting. I've converted 4 cars to LED, including my Escalade.

All the LED bulbs the escalade requires are available from this website:

www.superbrightleds.com

Below you will find the amount of bulbs and the direct link to the specs and a part number so you can cross reference when you order. Remember to get WHITE!

2 of these -----------> http://superbrightleds.com/specs/744x-xHP3.htm (Part number: 7440-xHP3)
8 of these -----------> http://superbrightleds.com/specs/bulb_specs.htm (Part number: WLED-WHP)
6 of these -----------> http://superbrightleds.com/festoon.html (Part number: 42mm 4210-xWHP6)

Here is a breakdown of the bulbs:

7440 - Reverse lights (2)
194/168 - Head lights (2) Front doors panels (2) Under sideview mirrors (2) Rear License plate lights (2)
Festoon - Rear dome (2) Middle Dome (2) Front Map (2)

MAKE SURE YOU BUY WHITE BULBS - DO NOT BUY BLUE. THE WHITE BULBS LOOK BLUE.

If you need any help, PM or email me, or post in this thread.

Thanks,
Marco

Ouch....$100 worth of bulbs. Are they significantly different (brighter), other than color?

[roccos_van]

No one said it was going to be cheap!

Yes, they are much brighter; but it's mostly for looks, not performance.

roccos_van,

Nice job!

$100.00 for all those LEDs is considered cheap in automotive lighting standards.

It gives the inside and out a completely different look and that is worth more than $100.00 to me. Too bad you can't do my Escalade for me. I don't want to deal with it.

What about the DRL bulbs? Are those replaceable to the LED lamps?

Good question. I searched and searched but the bulb in the DRL is some wierd bulb that no one can figure out; so i just left it for now. I'll replace that one day maybe?

If you do a search there is a long thread where someone gets a part number but there is no way to cross reference it with matching LED versions.
