Why Replace Your Interior Lights With LEDs?

There are three great reasons to replace the interior light bulbs in your 2000-2005 Ford Excursion :

• Your eyes will thank you.  All our LED interior lighting kits provide for a better lighting experience inside your car. LED lighting is typically brighter than original interior lighting, making it easier for your eyes to pick out details inside your car.
• You'll save energy.  LED bulbs use as little as 1/15 th as much power as a standard interior light bulb. This saved energy reduces the load on your vehicle's electrical system, and technically even saves gas (however, probably not enough for you to notice at the gas pump).
• You'll love your car's customized feel .  The difference between LED interior lights and standard automotive lighting is significant. Your passengers will immediately notice your car's custom lighting, and our customers really enjoy it.

Product Description

Package Deal – We’ve put together a complete LED light conversion package for our 2000-2005 Ford Excursion owners looking to upgrade the look and performance over their stock incandescent light bulbs with a quality LED solution. Each bulb is specifically chosen for your vehicle and features built-in current limiting resistors.

Powerful – With over 100 lumens per bulb and a fraction of the draw compared to a stock bulb, there is no question that this is the best replacement kit for your vehicle. Made of long lasting, high powered LED chips, you’re sure to get a lot of life out of these LED bulbs.

Options –  Color options can get confusing, especially with so many variations of the same color, we get it. We offer 3 different shades of white (warm white, pure white and cool white) as well as various other colors. A pure white is going to give off no yellow and no blue, simply a pure bright white output matching closest to a 5000k HID bulb. A cool white bulb will provide a slight hue of blue as you would see generally on a newer Audi and will match closest to a 6000k HID bulb. Warm white provides the most amount of light output with a more yellow output closest to a factory halogen/incandescent or 4300k HID bulb.

Installation – 100% plug-and-play installation can be completed in about a half an hour with nothing more than basic tools. Each LED interior conversion package includes a free LumaWerx ™ non-marring plastic pry tool. Direct fit with zero modification to your factory set up and is completely reversible if you decided you want to remove them before selling your vehicle.

Trusted – For over a decade, HID Kit Pros in Bellevue, Washington has been providing customers with the best quality automotive lighting and accessories while backing it up with unbeatable customer service. Every employee at HKP has been trained on our wide selection of products to help suit each and every customers needs. Local?

LED Lights for Truck Interiors

Are you looking to modernize the appearance of your ride’s interior lighting? Then consider upgrading the dim, yellow-toned factory halogen bulbs to high-intensity LED replacements! LED bulbs offer several benefits over conventional incandescent bulbs, including: 

Greater energy efficiency

Enhanced output

Longer lifespan

Variable color temperatures

Instant illumination; no warm-up period

Aside from factory-style replacement bulbs, we also offer several auxiliary LED kits for ambient/mood/accent lighting. These kits can provide your interior with a stylish, high-end aesthetic that sets your ride apart! Additionally, LED interior lighting can show off your personality and style; nothing says custom like vibrant, color-shifting interior illumination!

Interior Light Types

At RealTruck, we offer several styles of interior lighting. Some of our most popular include:

Headliner Lights

Headliner lights, like the ORACLE ColorSHIFT Hardtop Headliner for Jeeps, offer your Wrangler or Gladiator a highly-custom aesthetic. This product utilizes no-drill panels fitted with dozens of fiber-optic stars, providing the Rolls Royce-esque “starliner” appearance that’s gained popularity in recent years!

Footwell Lighting

Several high-end vehicles feature vibrant courtesy lights in the footwells, bolstering low-light visibility and providing a sleek, premium appearance. At RealTruck, we offer several footwell light kits, like the Rugged Ridge LED Interior Lighting System , which includes LED light strips for both front and rear footwells, a controller, and all necessary clips and wiring for a clean, factory-style installation.

Air Vent Lighting

Since you can install LED lighting in practically every location of your interior, why not illuminate the air vents? That’s the idea behind the American Modified Turbo Air AC Vent Ambient Light system, designed for use on 2011-current Wrangler Models. These stylish vents replace the factory units and include integrated RGB color-changing LED lighting, making for a truly unique interior accent.

Multi-Area/Universal

If you’re looking for a truly one-off interior accent, consider a universal light kit, like the Oracle Fiber Optic LED Interior lights! These systems utilize fiber-optic LED strips you can install anywhere two seams meet; no glue or double-sided adhesive is required! The included remote grants full control over the illumination, allowing you to shift colors, modes, and brightness.

Task Lighting

Perhaps style isn’t your primary concern with interior lighting, but functionality. In this case, consider installing task-specific lighting to improve low-light visibility. Products like the Rugged Ridge Clip-On LED Light clip to nearly any surface, like sun visors or exterior trim, provide wireless light where it’s needed most!

Le Corbusier’s triumphant return to Moscow

The exhibition of French prominent architect Le Corbusier, held in The Pushkin Museum, brings together the different facets of his talent. Source: ITAR-TASS / Stanislav Krasilnikov

The largest Le Corbusier exhibition in a quarter of a century celebrates the modernist architect’s life and his connection with the city.

Given his affinity with Moscow, it is perhaps surprising that the city had never hosted a major examination of Le Corbusier’s work until now. However, the Pushkin Museum and the Le Corbusier Fund have redressed that discrepancy with the comprehensive exhibition “Secrets of Creation: Between Art and Architecture,” which runs until November 18.

Presenting over 400 exhibits, the exhibition charts Le Corbusier’s development from the young man eagerly sketching buildings on a trip around Europe, to his later years as a prolific and influential architect.

The exhibition brings together the different facets of his talent, showing his publications, artwork and furniture design alongside photographs, models and blueprints of his buildings.

Russian art reveals a new brave world beyond the Black Square

Art-Moscow fair targets younger art collectors

In pictures: 20th century in photographs: 1918-1940

Irina Antonova, director of the Pushkin Museum, said, “It was important for us to also exhibit his art. People know Le Corbusier the architect, but what is less well know is that he was also an artist. Seeing his art and architecture together gives us an insight into his mind and his thought-processes.”

What becomes obvious to visitors of the exhibition is that Le Corbusier was a man driven by a single-minded vision of how form and lines should interact, a vision he was able to express across multiple genres.

The upper wings of the Pushkin Museum are separated by the central stairs and two long balconies. The organizers have exploited this space, allowing comparison of Le Corbusier’s different art forms. On one side there are large paintings in the Purist style he adapted from Cubism, while on the other wall there are panoramic photographs of his famous buildings.

Le Corbusier was a theorist, producing many pamphlets and manifestos which outlined his view that rigorous urban planning could make society more productive and raise the average standard of living.

It was his affinity with constructivism, and its accompanying vision of the way architecture could shape society, which drew him to visit the Soviet Union, where, as he saw it, there existed a “nation that is being organized in accordance with its new spirit.”

The exhibition’s curator Jean-Louis Cohen explains that Le Corbusier saw Moscow as “somewhere he could experiment.” Indeed, when the architect was commissioned to construct the famous Tsentrosoyuz Building, he responded by producing a plan for the entire city, based on his concept of geometric symmetry.

Falling foul of the political climate

He had misread the Soviet appetite for experimentation, and as Cohen relates in his book Le Corbusier, 1887-1965, drew stinging attacks from the likes of El Lissitsky, who called his design “a city on paper, extraneous to living nature, located in a desert through which not even a river must be allowed to pass (since a curve would contradict the style).”

Not to be deterred, Le Corbusier returned to Moscow in 1932 and entered the famous Palace of the Soviets competition, a skyscraper that was planned to be the tallest building in the world.

This time he fell foul of the changing political climate, as Stalin’s growing suspicion of the avant-garde led to the endorsement of neo-classical designs for the construction, which was ultimately never built due to the Second World War.

Situated opposite the proposed site for the Palace of the Soviets, the exhibition offers a tantalizing vision of what might have been, presenting scale models alongside Le Corbusier’s plans, and generating the feeling of an un-built masterpiece.

Despite Le Corbusier’s fluctuating fortunes in Soviet society, there was one architect who never wavered in his support . Constructivist luminary Alexander Vesnin declared that the Tsentrosoyuz building was the "the best building to arise in Moscow for over a century.”

The exhibition sheds light on their professional and personal relationship, showing sketches and letters they exchanged. In a radical break from the abstract nature of most of Le Corbusier’s art, this corner of the exhibition highlights the sometimes volatile architect’s softer side, as shown through nude sketches and classical still-life paintings he sent to Vesnin.

“He was a complex person” says Cohen. “It’s important to show his difficult elements; his connections with the USSR, with Mussolini. Now that relations between Russia and the West have improved, we can examine this. At the moment there is a new season in Le Corbusier interpretation.” To this end, the exhibition includes articles that have never previously been published in Russia, as well as Le Corbusier’s own literature.

Completing Le Corbusier’s triumphant return to Russia is a preview of a forthcoming statue, to be erected outside the Tsentrosoyuz building. Even if she couldn’t quite accept his vision of a planned city, Moscow is certainly welcoming him back.

A History of Moscow in 13 Dishes

Featured city guides.

Early History

In the December 1812 manifesto, Tsar Alexander declared the cathedral would “…signify Our gratitude to Divine Providence for saving Russia from the doom that overshadowed Her and to preserve the memory of the unheard of efforts, loyalty, and love for our faith and homeland displayed during these difficult days by the Russian people…” While planning for the cathedral began as Napoleon and his army retreated from Russia its completion was decades later.

Under a plan by the architect Vitberg an initial start of the construction of cathedral began on October 12 , 1817 with laying and blessing of the cornerstone. The site chosen was on Sparrow Hills between the Smolensk and Kaluga roads. The site, however, was found to be unstable and not suitable for the planned structure. As alternatives were considered Alexander was succeeded by his brother Nicholas I who had different architectural preferences. Konstantin A. Ton presented a second plan that placed the cathedral on a different site on the bank of the Moscow River that was occupied by the Aleksevevsky Convent and the Church of All Saints. The new plan was approved by Nicholas I on April 10 , 1832.

After moving the convent to Sokolniki, construction of the Cathedral began on September 10 , 1839 with the laying of the cornerstone. Construction of the huge structure continued for forty years. By 1841, the walls of the lower level were completed, followed by the joining of the arch of the main cupola in 1846. Covered by scaffolding, work continued on the exterior facing of the building and a start was made on construction of the metal roofs and lesser cupolas. The main cupola was completed in 1849. In 1860, the scaffolding was removed and the Cathedral was revealed for the first time in all its glory.

Construction continued on details of the structure while areas around the Cathedral, including riverbank terraces and squares, were completed. By 1881 the major construction was finished, including a bronze balustrade and exterior lanterns. Work on the interior frescoes continued for another twenty years. The Cathedral was formally named the Cathedral of Christ the Savior on December 13 , 1880, when the priests and other clergy were also assigned to it for the first time. The Cathedral was consecrated on Ascension Day, May 26 , 1883, the day that Tsar Alexander III was crowned. Chapels , located in the upper gallery, were dedicated to Ss. Nicholas and Alexander Nevsky , on June 12 and July 8 , 1883 respectively.

The design of the cathedral followed that of ancient Russian churches that were built in the Byzantine style. It differed in having a more regular shape and was lighter in form. The cathedral contained a number of altars . The staff of the Cathedral was relatively small; the rector , an assistant rector, three priests, one protodeacon , two deacons , two subdeacons , four readers , two sextons, twelve bell-ringers, one baker (who made prosphora ), and the choir. Among the leaders of the choir were the famous composers A. A. Arkhangelsky and P. G. Chesnokov.

In the following years services were held regularly. Among the important events marked in the Cathedral were the 500th anniversary of the death of St. Sergius of Radonezh , the 100th anniversary of the war of 1812, the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, and consecration of memorials to Tsar Alexander III and Nicholas Gogol. The opening session of the council of 1917-1918 , that reinstated the patriarchate in the Russian Church, was held in the Cathedral. The Cathedral became the center for education and enlightenment.

After the assumption of governmental power by the Bolsheviks, the Cathedral was eventually closed. The site that it was on, as well as for ideological reasons, became an important factor in Bolshevik urban planning. Their plans entailed construction of a grandiose Palace of Soviets on the site topped with a statue of Vladimir Illich Ulyanov (Lenin) as a symbol of socialist victory and the leader of world proletariat. On December 5 , 1931 destruction of the Cathedral began under direction of Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili (Stalin) . It was a year before the site was cleared.

The construction of the palace was hampered from the start by lack of funds, problems with the foundation soil, flooding from the nearby Moscow River, and then World War II. The hugh hole blighted the area for years until Nikita Khrushchev had the site converted into a hugh swimming pool during the 1950s.

Recent history

The political thaw of the late 1980s brought on by a period of perestroika and the fall of the Soviet Union created an opening in which the Holy Synod of the Church of Russia , led by Patriarch Alexei II , requested the government of Russia and the City of Moscow for restoration of the destroyed Cathedral. Having been given approval in February 1990, the construction of the restored Cathedral began under Aleksey Denisov replicating the original design. Ordinary citizens contributed greatly to the construction fund that was started in 1994. After construction of the restored cathedral was well under way Denisov replaced by Zurab Tsereteli who made some controversial changes to the original design.

In 1996, the lower part of the building was completed and, in 1996, the church within it was consecrated to the Transfiguration of Our Lord. The completed Cathedral of Christ the Savior was consecrated on August 19 , 2000. Monumental statues of the Tsars Alexander II and Nicholas II were placed near the Cathedral and several chapels were built on the cathedral square.

On May 17 , 2007, in the assembly hall also located in the Cathedral, the ‘‘Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia’’ ( ROCOR ) was signed, restoring full communion with the Moscow Patriarchate. The reunion was celebrated by a Divine Liturgy concelebrated by Alexei II, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and Metr. Laurus , First Hierarch of ROCOR.
