About to purchase LEDs for my ride, are these correct?

I checked SYLVANIA's website but V-Leds has so many LEDS I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct ones.

So far I got these;

License plates

Dome lights

I also want to purchase Trunk/Cargo lights for my 06' G35C, but there are two and both of them also come with power adapters? It's between these for the trunk :

Option 1 and Option 2


So I was wondering which one do I need?

Other than that does the rest of my selection look okay?

Thanks.

I have the same ones for the license plate. They work real good. Very bright and even light distribution. I am also using one of those for the trunk light. Once again, pretty bright and even light distribution.

As for the dome lights, you can use either the SMT or High Flux. I am personally running the High Flux and have tried the SMT. I didn't notice much of a difference between the two in terms of light output or distribution. The High Flux just had a bit more of blue/purple color to them. Very minimal difference. You can only tell if you have them side by side and even then, not much difference.

High Flux:

for the trunk, you just pop off that semi-circle plastic cover and the bulb goes inside. real simple.

What about all the extra wiring it came with? How do I keep the bulb off so it doesn't blow a fuse?

Check out the pictures in the 194 High power which I purchased, all those extra red/black cables and stuff, I am not exactly sure how to go about with it?

you purchased the wrong ones. You were supposed to get the same ones as the license plate:

Just return the wrong ones.

Ah gotcha.

Ordered the correct ones. How do I turn the trunk light off when I switch bulbs? I don't want to blow a fuse or something gay like that.

Just get a flat head screw driver and pop them right out, so easy even a toddler can do it!
