Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Dome Light LED upgrade.
I figured there might be some interest in this upgrade, so I broke it out on its own page.
I removed the OEM light socket from the housing.
I purchased a 24 light LED panel (Found on Ebay for $7.00). This will put out a lot of light. You can also get smaller panels like 18 light ect.
I added longer power and ground leads to the LED panel. I also added a 2nd dome light in the roof of my suburban for adequate lighting.
You can use whatever you like to secure the LED panel to the housing. I used 3m strip caulk that I balled up as I had some laying around. The panel is feather light so you could really use 3M double sided tape or hot glue.
With the frosted glass light lens, you don't see the LED panel or black strip caulk.
I also used some more strip caulk to create a gasket around the wired exiting the housing.
Any ??'s please ask but its fairly straight forward.
