Doing some early spring cleaning on some overstocked parts. The webstore's setup to prevent backorders on just about everything except the cluster gauge bulbs. So if you order more than what's in stock, it'll cut you off at the stocking limit.

If you don't know the bulb sizes for your car, PM or email us at sales@3bspec.com; we need to know your vehicle's make/model/year, and how many bulbs and where. IE: (2) bulbs up front overhead, (1) in the back, (2) doors, (1) in the trunk, on say... 2008 Honda Accord 2-Door.

The full clearance catalog is posted online at 3BSpec.com or just click on one of the pictures below. When they go out of stock, they're out.

any pics of these installed on the balt? I wanna let some led's for the license plate and the mirror/map lights. But im not sure if that last one would have a wide enough viewing angle?

hmmm wat bout some switchbacks???

haHA exactly!!! A group buy would be great also...

The license plate lights are T10 bulbs.
The mirror/map lights are also T10's, but we did cram a couple of 12-SMD panel into them and it's a really tight fit... but also ridiculously bright.

Let's see...
License plates, any of these will work:
Vision Tech: T10 / 194, 1-Watt Bulbs, White (pr)
Vision Tech: T10 / 194, 4-SMD LED Bulb, White (ea)
Vision Tech: LED T10 / 194, 5-SMD, White

Dome Lights; same as above or if you're adventurous:
3BSpec: Universal LED Panel, 12-LED, White (ea)


The switchbacks are online, but not under clearance. Mostly an issue of keeping them in stock. The bulk of what's on clearance is from a canceled shop order. The 3157-Switchback's are $33.99 at the moment.

I forgot that we had these. They're from a different manufacturer than we normally use, but there's 10 sets that are ready to go.

they're the same as the other ones you listed?

dome light?

operatic

Same style, same number of LEDs, same operation (still a switchback); just a completely different manufacturer than the guys we normally use.

Dome light is a 561 or 42mm festoon LED bulb.
So, any of these: Festoon 42mm
Or a universal panel: 3BSpec: Universal LED Panel, 12-LED, White (ea)
The panel has an adapter to plug straight in.

do the led bulbs need resistors for them?

like the rear view mirror lights? will they dim out after i shut the door?

I really would like the the rear view mirror bulbs, trunk, and license plate.

sub'd i have the same question as the guy above

PsychoCam

iTrader: (29)

i want blue for my rear view mirror lights as well as trunk.

i need white for license plate. would 100 lumens be too bright?

operatic

Chevrolet Cobalt 06-10
Rear View Mirror (Map Light): T10
3BSpec: LED T10 / 194, 4-SMD, Blue (ea)
Vision Tech: LED T10 / 194, 5-SMD, Blue

License Plate: T10
3BSpec: LED T10 / 194, 4-SMD, Blue (ea)
Vision Tech: LED T10 / 194, 5-SMD, Blue

Oddly enough there's no bulb listing for the trunk, but when we used to have one I really want to say that it was a 194/T10 style LED bulb. I would poke your head back under there and verify. I know when we did ours though we just used a panel LED. But we do not have those in blue at this time. If it's a fuse, then it's a festoon 42mm. If it's a T10 bulb, we also have them.

As for 100 lumens being too bright... That's honestly a new one. Usually you have to be worried about getting a ticket for having blue (neon blue) license plate lights. You could probably use the T10-4SMD style bulb though if you're worried about them being too bright. They're a good medium level brightness (bright enough to replace the bulbs in there now without being overwhelming).

As for the LEDs staying on when the doors are shut and staying lit dimly; we noticed this on the Cobalt we had here for a while (we jammed the 12-SMD panels in there because I'm blind). There was no battery drain effect though and it typically went away after a couple hours. You have to remember, there's very little power required to fire an LED bulb. What's happening is the car is turning the power off and the LEDs are pulling whatever residual power still in the wire. It happens on a lot of cars. If it is a major concern, I would suggest running something to the tune of a 5-watt resistor on the interior dome light wires.

Whats the brightest 194 style bulb you have? I have the 921 (think thats the right number) led bulb from superbrightleds.com and they were dimmer than factory (and honestly too blue) was wanting something brighter than stock (like 2-3w maglite level would be nice lol)


For those wondering about the maplights and license plate lights get one of the smd style 194s (think I have a 5 smd) and you will love it. I have a basic generic white 194 led bulb for a license plate light. its noticeable but doesnt stand out.

does anyone know what size the three leds in the 3rd gen projects are?

idk if my halos are a single led or the bulbs all the way around.

so i may just replace the 3 bottom leds

operatic

The reverse light is a 921 / T15 LED bulb. Which makes it this guy:
3BSpec: T15 / 921 - 13 SMD, White (pr) (<< That's in pairs by the way)

We got those in for the Lexus peeps locally. Are they brighter than most every 194 bulb? Yep. Is it brighter than stock? Nope. Simple lighting metric; if you want a brighter reverse light you're either sticking with a blue halogen bulb.

The 3rd gens use a T10 bulb for the LEDs. The 4-SMD style T10's will fit. The 5-SMD (5050-SMD) and the 1-Watt will not clear the hole.

The 3rd gens use two SMD LED's mounted at the bottom of each halo. They're not directly replaceable without disassembling the headlights.

Erick161

921s are also inerchangeable w/ t10s and 184s, correct? I just picked up 5 pair of 12 SMD LEDs...

operatic

921/T15 LED bulbs use the same base as a T10/194 LED bulb. So technically you can stick any T10 bulb into any T15 socket. The only thing you should be concerned about is "Will this bulb fit the actual housing?"

do those switchbacks require resistors or even a good idea to run resistors on them?

and i got the 194 bulbs from you and put them in my map lights and now at night i cant see ****. is there a brighter bulb i can get to solve my problem?...i did get red bulbs and not white.

iTrader: (1)

so if i'm understanding this right a PAIR of switchbacks is $33.99? If so you can count me in for purchase Wednesday!

ericgt79

iTrader: (7)

x2 but i think thats a each price

wait it says sold in pairs

N1ckateen

iTrader: (1)

thats what i was gettin at lol. if it's a pair for 34 bucks i'm all over it. I've been wanting to get some for so long. the resistors aren't expensive either.

ericgt79

iTrader: (7)

yea i dont care about the cost of the resistors i just want to know if i need them and them how do i wire them in

switchbacks will finish off my HID fogs and headlights nicely tho
