2017 Charger Hellcat Diode Dynamics Interior LEDs

[@ting280]

thank you man, I've had my 2018 for a month and I'm at this stage with the LED's in front of me and I now have a game plan for tomorrow

[@epicletterr4048]

This was great, particularly knowing which size tools to use. Thank you! For doing the back seat lights (19:13) I recommend prying off the two larger, "rear" tabs first, and then the piece will slide right out of the front tabs. The rear ones are larger, much easier to undo, and there's much less risk of breaking one of the smaller front ones when trying to pry them off...they are pretty thin (I broke one).

[@_Paul_from_Jax]

Great video! Best part @ 11:44ish, If you love your woman more than you love your car, don't do this mod. (in regard to vanity lights) funny stuff right there. What I found works best is to rotate the bulbs inwards (almost to point that the panels are facing 180* out) so that the LED panels aren't directly in her face. You still get the led look and she'll be able to use the vanity without bitching about it being too bright. LEDS create little to no heat so no worries about melting anything on the lamp assy.

[@txcombatvetx2]

When changing the overhead lights I recommend pulling the entire console off, ig you attempt to change the lights by removing the covers you will likely bend the reflector plates, and render the push to activate inoperable.

[@the_hulk392]

Thanks, needed that advice!! AIRBORNE

[@Frankflexxxx]

I totally agree. That's what I did.

[@DavyDave1313]

I did not know this and mine became a little sticky…any way to fix it?

[@inigobelloso4645]

@@Frankflexxxx How did you get it fixed? I did that and mine are now not working ha...

[@Frankflexxxx]

@@inigobelloso4645... I remember I broke something in the unit the 1st time. I forgot what wasn't working. So I ordered another on ebay. I wish I remembered what I broke the 1st time. But after that, I had no problem disconnecting and connecting over and over again.

[@larrynance1269]

so what bulb number for each spot so I can get them and put in my charger

[@spindizee]

Have you found a solution to the other bulbs in the Map Lights yet? I just ran into the same issue on my 300S and I'm looking for a way to get all of the bulbs changed even the small center LED.

[@Civilus]

I also ran into that issue on my 2020 charger cant seem to find any info on it... went by he dealership parts department and that whole peice $705 plus tax

[@spindizee]

@@Civilus I ended up tearing mine apart and painting the plastic caps that cover the map lights with blue paint. It solved the Yellow Map light color every time I opened the door. Also you can turn them on at night for a subtle blue light since the LED will blind you at night.

[@Civilus]

@@spindizee i did manage to find a 2017 charger hellcat forum where they said that you would basically have to solder a new led in place of it, that sounds like fun. ...

[@rodrigosantoyo4278]

What bulb size did u use for the rear top handle light?

[@justinmilum2638]

So, I bought a new 17 Charger R/T last week and it had all those ugly yellow bulbs. I hate them too! I've only ever owned Chevy, so I had no idea where to start on this car. Thank you for posting this video! I've ordered some bulbs, and I'm excited to see how they look in mine!

[@hemipower3308]

Looks great OC Dodge should hire you for recommendations as too how a car should be brought up too the high standards of us OCD ERS

[@Mr.PullUpYourShorts]

How did you disable the other 2 lights.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Halgoen interior bulbs is a needless cost-cutting IMO. It would only cost dodge a few bucks to use LED's. Even if they only put them in the SP/SRT/HC, they should be standard in those models.

[@HonestlyOCD]

FastRedPonyCar agree completely

Do you have the same lumens for all the bulbs? If so, which one did you go with?

[@supermansr44]

can you post a link to where you got them from? thanks. great video

[@robz2312]

Diode dynamics

[@DavyDave1313]

You know if led interior lights or led headlights will cause light flickering inside the car? I started noticing lights flickering when I start my charger but didn’t notice it before so I don’t know if it’s because of the led headlights/map lights

[@aryn3675]

Did you find a new replacement for those new yellow led lights in that dome part?

[@1smokan]

What bulbs did you use for the back seat o shit handles. No listing on diode dynamics, thanks for the how to.

[@Raul-wt5jx]

Thanks Dude. Great Video. Just what I needed it.

[@beterwithab]

might sound dumb, but can’t you put clear blue tape over the unreplacable bulbs?

[@Bum5GHTKrew]

I wish you would have popped out the board to show the led on the circuit board, I think morimoto makes a gauge cluster led that would fit in there but Im not sure

[@LEEBO-56]

This is one of the most entertaining videos I've had the pleasure of watching on KZbin awesome job

[@Tim.Meloche]

This truly was a great watch.

[@kylebrown6274]

Any update on a solution for the circuit board lights. I just got my Hellcat and immediately noticed the same issue...

[@devinhunter2850]

I called diode and they don't know what part number it is for the lights under the door and the passenger courtesy lights by the handle number are. can you help?

[@HonestlyOCD]

Devin Hunter I believe its SML8 or SML9

[@devinhunter2850]

HonestlyOCD thanks

[@TheCatcher013]

20:15 what bulb is that? Would that be considered the dome lights I order?

[@kylegier]

You've got it easy. I have to remove the headliner to get to the lights above the driver and passenger seat, and it's one of those circuit bulbs. Apparently you have to retrofit them from a Viper. Looks like I'm just going to leave them. Great detailed video!

[@FP2000]

very nice !!! cant wait to see more videos from and that bad ass kitty !!! congrats again on ur new ride brother

[@HonestlyOCD]

Great video! I busted a gut when you chuckled after you said. "I will take the mirrors off the car." Keep'em coming man.

[@eastcoastnick18]

Good video... I skipped around a little, so my bad if I missed it, but what do you do for the foot wells?

[@HonestlyOCD]

eastcoastnick it's cool lol I disconnected them until I find a way to get someone to do 6000K led work on the circuits

[@MURRAYsaysHI]

In the old days our lights were yellowish, AND WE LIKED IT!!

[@HonestlyOCD]

[@ALGreeneHTown]

nice video man. hey are the back seat lights on top of the doors the same as the map dome lights??

[@HonestlyOCD]

AL Greene H Town I don't really remember lol I know a few bulbs were the same though for multiple spots 😑

[@RydinNStyle]

I encountered the same problem on the vanity lights...the rear bulb can't be changed but I couldn't stand the two different color lights, bright white and the factory yellow. I had to just cover the back bulbs with black electric tape and run just the front lights

[@RydinNStyle]

I meant the map/dome lights with the rear circuit breaker bulb, not vanity. Dodge just makes everything harder to modify or upgrade, plug n play is not in their vocabulary

[@justinerobertson7712]

Did you figure out about the other two bulbs

[@ThePhenom72586]

How did you know which lights to get? And what sizes?

[@Evodout]

Getting ready to order my full LED replacement kit for 300s. Did you ever figure out the solution to changing the map lights?

[@SEATPA]

Did you find a replacement for them yellow leds?

[@raymon760]

Idk if you do any custom wiring but what I usually do for the foot-wells is put red LEDs that turn on with the parking lights / nighttime interior lights (usually works with the dimmer too). The red color isn't intrusive while driving and is quite helpful if you drop something at night. In most vehicles it provides a nice accent.

[@Neptism]

How?

[@blackice7408]

Btw, have you found some replacement lights for the overhead lights

[@harishbaskar3872]

Thanks for the great detail and I had a quick question. Does the package from diode dynamics come with the prying tools?

HonestlyOCD it's not the same. It's weak. I saw SRTMUSH put one in his hellcat charger, but he didn't give any real information on where he found it, how he really installed it, etc. I don't know if dodge dealerships sell them as an oem part but I don't know. You can find the info, because I called the dodge dealership, and they wanted my vin #, but I don't own a mopar. Thanks

Hey quick question regarding the overhead dome lights do you know how to make them not turn on when you open the door I feel like I've tried everything. I have a 2016 charger scat pack and its the only car I've ever owned that didn't have a simple switch to turn off the dome lights.

[@HonestlyOCD]

FICTION2333 on the dash to the left of the steering wheel near the trunk release button are some controls. I believe you can disable the lights inside all together by sliding the wheel down completely and they shouldn't come on

HonestlyOCD yes sir. it didn't start doing that until i removed my bolts and installed the LED bulbs. and they only turn on when I have the ignition on. other than that they are great.

[@HonestlyOCD]

Travis Holkan can you narrow it down to which bulbs are doing it ?

[@travisholkan8876]

HonestlyOCD the map lights. They come on when I open the door they come on when the engine is running and I'll push the button. but if I have everything off and I push the button their faint hardly even on. but when i do have them on and the radio is running I have really bad interference.

[@blackice7408]

HonestlyOCD are there speakers in like the pillars, freakin' sterring wheel, seats, etc? Because I don't know how they can fit 19 speakers in such a small space - yet alone the challenger. And is there a subwoofer like it says on their website

[@Necronomous]

Mr Scowl Face All the speakers are hidden very well. The subwoofer I think is in the back where you got your spare-tyre usually. But there they got a subwoofer installed instead. I dunno, but I think where the sub is.

[@blackice7408]

Necronomous ppl say it's not worth it because it nothing but a bunch of cheap paper thin speakers that are overpriced because of the brand name

[@Necronomous]

Mr Scowl Face I dunno, haven't heard the quality of Harman/Kardon at all so I cannot speak for them. And then, if you are a hater of Bose, it will be the same answer there. Shitty overpriced speakers. Bang Olufsen, Alpine, MDS, and so on. So no matter what speakers you get in your car, there are always haters out there saying shit about shit. Only thing is that you are satisfied with your speakers, because it is YOURS, then everyone else can be pissed or cranked but you don't give a shit about it. I have heard both good stuff and bad stuff about Harman/Kardon as well, but as I said, never heard any of these speakers so I cannot speak for them. Only good shit I got is Logitech Z-5500 surroundsystem in my apartment and Logitech G633 headphones for my computer. These are very good shit. Well, my surroundsystem has given me a warning. If I play them too high again, well my head are out from this apartment. YEY!
