921x12 is brighter. I put the 12s in the map lights but they didn't match the ones in the doors (where I have the 5-leds) It wasn't the brightness that was the problem, the white was a diff hue. 5 leds give off a cool, very slightly bluish white. In comparison, the 12s look yellowish next to the 5ers, but awesome on its own. I would recommend to put the same ones in the maps that you put in the doors, either ones you choose.

I got these finally... not a perfect fit (well, least not in mine).. there's a little plastic tab sticking up under where the bulb goes on either end that makes it not want to fit in without 'help'... the original bulbs i measured about ~27mm these measured about ~33mm w/ my cheesy ruler..

Even trimming those tabs didn't help.. ok, for those that used these and they fit.. what am I missing? heh

just finished replacing my city lights with LED's...

a couple notes:

1) It looks hot as hell. Cant even compare LED to stock.
2) Took me A WHILE. Went through the engine bay, and definitely lost some skin on my knuckles. For me it was the hardest LED replacement, and Ive done em all. (except for the vanity mirrors, because, well, im not vein )

Has anyone done the WLED-WHP all around? It looks to be the best light pattern with the best color. I am really close to getting all the lights in WLED-WHP but curious if anyone else has tried them other than trunk and reverse.

Thanks
