My LED conversion as well as IMPORTANT information about changing the dome lights!

So today in installed a TON of various blue LEDS from v-leds.com in my car. I love it, it looks really nice. V-leds is a great company to deal with and has amazing prices IMO. I changed the courtesty lights, footwell lights, and front/rear dome/map lights to blue and the license plate lights to a "cool white". they blue is a very nice shade of deep blue and the white license plate is SUPER bright white with a tiny hint of blue. Overall it looks really nice and I'm very pleased.

HOW TO FINALLY CHANGE TO DOME LIGHTS!!!

From what I can tell, i am the first person to figure out how to change the interior dome lights to aftermarket. as you may know, Hyundai does not use a standard bulb in the dome lights that can be replaced, but i have figured it out! its not that hard actually....

when inside the front or rear dome/map light housing, you will see 3 wires attached to the already existing LED circuit board.....

cut and strip the wires or de-solder them from the led board. (as you can see, i cut in the middle of the wires and stripped and soldered from there.

you are going to splice the black and yellowish (im color deficient so i have no idea of this is yellow) wires from the dome light together and connect that connection to the negative/black connection of your light. then you are going to connect the red wire from the dome light to your LEDs red/positive connection.... (sorry if that didnt make much sense, im extremely tired. heres a diagram to show how simple this is.)

ENJOY

i believe this is 12V of straight power so if your LED doesn't have a resistor built in, you might want to be careful.

sorry for the extremely crapy pic, they are much brighter in person.

these are the LEDs i used

Hmm, I thought this little tutorial would get some attention considering all of the people who converted to all LED's and were waiting on the dome lights.....

You did a good job and I see you took your time to make your lighting the way you want it. I think if the Genesis 4.6 didn't come with dome light LED's factory, more people would probably be interested. LED replacement for other applications such as the puddle lights are a good idea, which I've done them all

FWIW... I read this, found it really interesting, and chalked it up to something I probably wouldn't dare try on my own car. LOL

Good job though! I love to see DIY mod instructions... keep 'em coming!

HI thanks for the info but I have a question what leds do you replace it with? what housing did you use? if IDK if my led have resistors built in what resistor do i use and what size? Thanks any help in advance

Also if you have any pics of the parts you used that would be great. Lastly I bought this kit off ebay it contained Step/Courtesy Lights, Trunk/Cargo Lights, Footwell Lights, License Plate Lights (License Plate Lights will be WHITE).
THIS IS THE LED LIGHT KIT I GOT

If you look at the picture it shows the over head dome light in the purple color?
