LED's FTW!!!

so my leds came in today. i bought some from superbrightleds last week and was not happy with the quality so i returned them and ordered some from vleds. vleds = 100x better. i got leds for the license plate, clear corners, dome/map, and the courtesy light (under the door).

don't be surprised if the city light leds burn out, especially if you use your fogs.

i'm not saying they will, but there's a good chance they might. leds hate heat.

takes a minute. pop the lens off with your fingers or a flat head wrapped in microfiber. pull the bulb out and snap the led it.

Interior dome and door lights are 3022 festoons

Sylvania has a bulb guide website, too
