Led/hid lights?

I have an 82z28 and want to put led lights thru out all interior, dome, courtesy, cluster, and any other led lights you guys knows of. Also im thinking of upgrading to a 145 mph cluster in thw future. If I upgrade lights in original cluster will they swap out for the other one? And a good hid kit for highs and lows for a cheap price thanks guys! Need part numbers and vendors. Have a blessed day everyone!

The best place I know to get hid's is skinny boy lighting he has a Facebook page and a website. Does excellent work.

As far as the led bulbs just pull out the current bulbs and find out what number is on them and Google led "____" bulb.

Easy

Also take note that once you change out everything to LED you will need a new turn signal flasher fuse. Also I don't believe that you will be able to dim the interior lights with the LED bulbs.

I have been doing most of my research on https://www.superbrightleds.com/

No, the original turn signal fuse will not allow the led bulb to flash. It will simply stay on solid or not come on at all. Had this problem when I tried putting led's in my Silverado.

Re: Led/hid lights?

Just as a side note, nobody has shown an led headlight that works well in bright mode and normal driving mode. It is always one or the other; good brights and parking light quality driving light or good driving lights and barely noticeable brights. I'm interested to know how it would be with both lights always on, might work in that case.

Nope just the opposite. Led lights don't have the same draw so you need to update the flasher fuse to an led capable one. Theyre cheap and will make sure your signals work properly.
