1947-53 LED dome light retro fit

[youngrodder]

First things first. I got the idea seeing OKGMC4 do something simular to his 56 truck.

This is basically a way to retro fit a 24 bulb LED panel into a stock dome light for less then $10...

I started by removing the housing that holds the bulb. I simply knock it out with a hammer. The thinking was to be able to reuse if need be. Then I lightly ground down the edges of the LED panel to better if into the opening of the dome light housing.

Next I used some strip calk at each end to support/hold the LED panel to the housing. This is important because you would not want the back of the board to touch metal. Then I soldered some ends on the wires. I will ground the LED panel to the cab once the dome light is screwed to the cab....

Here is an Ebay listing for the panel:
