Did you lose the interior dimming with LEDs?

Nope you won't lose interior dimming.

OP, I used to buy all my LEDs off superbrightleds.com but their prices have gone up significantly in the last 8 years since I started buying from them.

I went with a few sellers on amazon believe it or not, they sell good stuff there as well. Just make sure you are getting SMD leds (higher quality and brightness) and the right size bulbs. You need some slim 194s, about 5 or 6 i believe, and 11-12 36mm festoon bulbs.


And for the millionth time it's been covered on here, you dont need to make sure they are "error free" for the interior bulbs, there are no interior bulb checks. The only bulbs which must be error free are the license plate lights and the mirror turn signals if you have them

Sounds like the LEDS have come a long way. I tried them back in 2006/7 and the light level was horrible. Went back to stock.

Maybe I nbeed to try these again.
