automotive led lighting Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install a LED tube light in my Jeep?
I recently got a LED tube light from Pilot Automotive and seeing as this is the first time I'll be installing one help would be greatly appreciated. Ok heres the deal, the light has two wires running through it a black one and a white and black striped one, now the instructions say to connect the black wire to the chassis ground (im guessing any part of the body, but I may be wrong), and connect the striped wire to a switched power source (parking light, tail light, etc.) only problem with that is I want it in the jeep not outside so I have no idea where to connect that at all (detail of exactly where this wire would go would again be greatly appreciated). Also just for the record I know its illegal to drive with interior lights on, I just want to have it working, it doesn't mean im going to drive with it on.
i would start by going to auto zone and buy a toggel swicth so you can turn them on and off a will so once you have the swicth place the light where you wan it then tace the black wire to any metal part of the car you could use a bolt that you see inplace already just make sure that the wire is touching the metal off the car for example if you see a screw going through plastic then into the metal that would not be a good ground next mount the toggal swicth where you want it then run the white wire from youre light to the swicth (there should be two tabs on the back of the swicth) cut the wire to lenght the remaining wire that you cut off hook to the other side of the swicth and run that to the battery off the car.(RED SIDE FOR POSSITIVE).now the swicth will control the lights to go one and off whenever you want ps if the on off swicth isnt the way you want it example up is off on is down you could change it by reversing the wires on the back of the switch also disconnect the battery during install incase you were to touch a bare wire you wont blow any fuse also when you run the wire from the swicth to battery you could run the wire under the dash and go threw where you see other wires ging threw to the engine area if you need more help you could call me at 609 618 2175 good luck its easy
and when i was about to install it, the original bulb looks bigger. i didnt take it out yet because i was just comparing the sizes before incase it doesnt fit. so i compared it and it doesnt fit. but the model number for 03 camry is correct for this bulb but i dont know why it's not right.
here are the model numbers for the camry:
this website says that the required bulb is DE3175 and that is what the blue LED dome light is.
I recommend you visiting the Parts Department of your local Toyota dealer...You might be surprised to learn that the correct/genuine dome bulb and some other genuine Toyota parts that fits & works in your Toyota Camry will not costs an arm & leg. Also in some cases my experience during past 20 years has been genuine Toyota parts have longer life. FYI I am not recommending getting your Camry serviced at the Toyota dealer...No when you find a good mechanic that takes care of your Toyotas, your trust them for life but they too rely and recommend geniuine Toyota parts from the dealer and not generic OEM.
Hope the Above Info Helps!
