Jimny undergoes an all LED transformation outside & in the cabin

It was imperative that no wires were cut, relays added and that the lights were in the OEM housing.

BHPian ShivC recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got all the external lights changed to LED – Fog lamps, Turn Indicators – Grill, Turn Indicators Side, Rear High Brake Light, LED Tail Lights had been done sometime back here is the link to the post.

FOG LIGHTS: IPF F Series F50DFLB LED: Dual Colour Switch 6,500K/2,400K, Brightness: 2,500 lumens: We want to upgrade the fog lights for a while now as the OEMs are quite poor in performance. Also wanted the colours of the fog lamp to respond to various weather conditions while driving, and should also be completely sealed so that water ingress is minimized, also imperative was no wire cuts or relays added and housed in the OEM housing. Found a perfect replacement for these IPF LEDs. These are switched between white and yellow from the stalk and remember the last light colour lit. It has optimized light distribution of white and yellow LED light colours. These are Japanese Road Transport Vehicle Act compliant. Bulb Type : H8 H11 H16 (Compatible with 12V and 24V).

The good thing about these bulbs is an adjustment screw on the rear part (heat sink) of the LED fog lamp bulbs which has an externally adjustable rotation feature allowing easy installation and lighting angle adjustment.

Little did I know that while doing this I would leave no Halogen on the outside as well as the inside when I finished.

AMBER TURN SIGNAL GRILL: PIAA LEW103 LED: Wanted something brighter so that no one missed the turn lights flashing also wanted to completely change from halogens to LED. These Turn Signal Amber LED Bulbs are Resistant-less Series and Japanese Road Transport Vehicle Act compliant. Brightness: 1100 lumens with built-in resistance to hi-flag.

LED Omnidirectional Diffusion Type: LED bulb with 30 LEDs in all directions which achieves a diffused light distribution that is ideal for turn signals. No installation of resistors or replacement relays is required. Includes cooling fan at the tip. Easy to install – took less than 5 mins to install. Bulb Type: T20 -12 V.

Inner cabin lights also had been done sometime back.
