Super Bright LED Holders.

[Oldskool]

I'm about to order a bunch of LEDs, the 12V automotive "wedge" type.

Does anyone know where I can get the holders for them?

On Retroblast, Kevin lists them (the bulbs) as #194/168 replacements.

Thanks.

You can get different types of sockets to fit that style at an automotive parts store.

Any idea of the name of the holder (if there is a fancy name).

I need quite a few and was hoping to luck out with a bulk purchase on Ebay.

Not sure what exactly they are called other then light bulb sockets.  For example an Acura has the following bulbs.

---------------
Door courtesy lights= 194/168 (qty 2 for both doors)
Map light = 194/168 (qty 2)
Glove compartment = 194/168 (qty 1)
Center console = 194/168 (qty 1)
Dome = DE3175/3175/T6 (qty 1)
Trunk light = 168/194 (qty 1)

The difference between 168 and 194 is the brightness.

I picked up 40 from HAPPS for $12.00. You have to enter in model #42-0351-00 at the checkout because it is a coin door part.

Oldschool where in ontario are you? And what are you using the LED's for? The reason I am asking if you live near toronto go to fairview mall at sheppard and don mills. And in the upper level across from shoppers drug mart there is a little booth selling cool little parts for inport cars. They have a triple super bright led holder used for map lighting and they are bright. They run off 12v dc and each LED can be moved up or down or you could cut the base and have three seprate LED's with their own ajustable base. Cost less than $30. Double holders are $19. Single holders are $10 or less.

Around Hamilton.

I've purchased the LEDs already. They're on their way in the mail.

When they arrive, I may visit some of the electronic stores around here or in Mississauga. They usually have stuff dirt cheap.
