Interior LEDS installed

That's not completely the case. I have changed out all the interior bulbs to LEDs, and the dimming function, while not as obvious as with regular incandescent bulbs, still occurs. The LEDs tend to go from 100% brightness to maybe 50% brightness, then they just go off abruptly. So the overall effect is not a constant fade-out, but there is still some dimming action.

So i would need 2 for the map lights, 2 for the front doors, 2 for the rear lights, and 2 for the license plate? Size 194 WLED-X5 for everything except my map lights and 921-X12 for my map lights? What size for the license plate and what color do you recommend? I was thinking cool blue. Thanks in advance....

Thanks for the input but could somebody help me with which person to buy from on Ebay? There are SO many people selling these bulbs and they are all priced different. Thanks in advance...

I bought the license plate, backup light LED from VLED, and all my interior LEDs are from this ebay vendor.

Caution - don't buy cheapo LEDs. They simply won't last very long before they start blinking and failing. Been there. Done that. Stick with some of the outfits mentioned frequently on this forum, which people have lots of experience with.

Damn you evilpanda!
I've had the lisc plate bulbs since I got the car, about 15 months ago.
I ordered the exact bulbs you did based on your post of what to buy (bought from superbrightleds.com).
I ordred the cool white. Hope it doesn't look goofy. Wondering if I should have just ordered "white".
