thanks Rev, bulb swapped out.
Can't believe it's taken me this long to swap out that damn light, especially considering I've changed every single light on my car. (at least once)
I really wish I'd have remembered about this thread before ordering 4 sets of LED's last week. Oh well, still worth the money.
I just changed out my driver's lights (little round guys up front) again and this time I went with the SMT Hi Power 194's

think I'm going to take your recommendation on the clear corner bulbs: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p5768086.html
but the map lights you have in the 1st post are sold out.
suggestions?

Rev: the parking lights are on the car already, I might order the high power for the clears but I don't think I'll have them by Saturday's meet.

anyone have any good recommendations / experience for map lights?
I've got a set of random 194's in there now but they're not all that great.
These are listed in the 1st post as what Aipex is using but they are no longer available.

I'm still on this LED kick (again) and was about to order new side marker bulbs, map light bulbs, and a dome light but the dome lights are out of stock.

the biggest problem with that bulb being out of stock is that now I"m looking at MORE led's.
Now I want to replace the vanity mirror bulbs. Why?! no clue, I never use them but because so 'everything will match'

Just take the vanity mirror bulbs out and tell your passengers to use the map light!!! Problem solved!!!
Btw V-leds got me pulled over tonight. Cop said that the WHITE strip light leds that I rigged up above the license plate are blue. He let me off but just a word of warning, especially if you drive a blue 8

get rid of the strip, I always thought it was a bit 'ricey'. Just get a good LED bulb in there and you're good.

These two pictures were taken with the following inside a pitch black garage:
Map lights & courtesy door lights:

Dome light:

I will try to snap a couple better ones with my little tripod later on to reduce blurriness

how happy are you with those map lights?

Very happy with them although I do notice that they flicker ever so slightly as they shut off. I only notice this when looking directly at them, there is no apparent strobing effect going on in the car though
SNTP I'll snap a couple for you showing the brightness on the front and rear floors

Rev: can you take a pic with only the map lights on?
maybe one pic with just ONE light on, and then with both map lights? (no dome light)
thanks bro

do it CT, the bulbs are awesome.
I'll try to get some decent night pics this week. Or I might wait a week or so till I replace the corners as well.
