Interior LED Conversion Complete

So I had done a exterior LED conversion a few weeks ago and decided to start on the interior.

I got some cool LED light panels with the spring adaptors for the overhead interior bulbs. I might have gone overboard because it's light as heck in the cabin now.

The front overhead console lights never worked and when I opened it up it was obvious why. The bulb sockets were practically melted and the hokey ribbon cable they use to supply them with power was brittle and cracked.

I rewired with t10 female sockets and light panels and put light panels throughout the back as well. When I unlock it from the key fob, the interior lights light up my whole driveway. Probably don't want these things on while driving.

I used those in mine.
They do get hot and the double sided tape used to hold them on will get soft and the light will drop and melt the clear plastic cover.

Can you post a link to these? I bought the interior LED kit from OPT-7 and they aren’t right.

I got them from a shop near me. He just works on 6.0s and sells all led and light bars. His web site is www.fully-lit.com

I bought them at PepBoyz, they are carried in the stores that have a Pro Shop section, Amazon links below. I used them in the front doors too, my drivers door I've had to replace twice, one row would start flickering, knowing that the LED's are probably fine, I simply just replaced the driving resistor for that row, and all was good.
