So I ordered the LED kit from them and 3 of the 5 bulbs have gone bad already. Do I get a refund or more sent to me? Im kinda pissed, the went out within like a week too.

Shoot me a PM, we stand behind our product 100%, and we will replace it.

When we first started, we were putting the bigger ones (High powered) in the plates and a lot of people were having issues with it going bad. This is the reason we replaced it with SMD LEDs since they generate a lot less heat.

It was be suggested that you switch them, or else the plate lights might go bad and you might get pulled over.

False. LEDs can dim (fade out) depending on the driver circuit. The reason why these LEDs don't fade is because the driver circuit tries to regulate the voltage and current to the LED. The driver maintains LED brightness given an input range until the voltage becomes too low for it to keep it on. It is much more efficient than the resistor approach, but it loses the fade functionality.

Why is this type of bulb supplied for the trunk light..



Shouldn't the light be side firing instead of firing out of the top? Seems like 75% of the bulbs output is lighting up the inside of the trim panel and not into the cabin.

agreed when I installed the trunk LED, it was probably worse than stock!

Ok, so I went with red map lights and the red trunk light (along with white for the license plate). Decided to post some pics (a couple I used a flash) to add some variety, seeing as most went with white LEDs. I didn't do a DIY since it's an easy install and there are a ton of writeups.

It' a bit darker than the picture. Kind of reminiscent of a dark room.

Haha, thanks man.

Side note. Apparently, a red interior light isn't ideal for use if the girl in your passenger seat wants to put on makeup/get ready. So, be prepared to put up with a little chatter.

Oh, and saying, "you should have gotten ready before you got in the car." wasn't a valid response. Hahaha.

Since I said the trunk led wasn't adequite (at least in my opinion), I was asked to try out this prototype SMD trunk led:
