i put the 9 led red festoon bulb into mine a while ago... from superbrightleds... its not that bright

the oem ones i think are brighter, but these add nice colored effects

im still trying to find some that are brighter

Do 12 Led?

Vinc84 · 02-25-2008, 11:32 PM

Yeah I got them in today, installed them - and waited until night time to see how it really looks. It looks pretty dope, but I wish they were brighter...gives almost no lighting whatsoever, but I mean it's a red light - it's not going to illuminate anything really anyways, especially in our dark interior. But brighter would make it even more red inside, which would be nice.

IonZephyr · 04-05-2008, 04:35 PM

Just bought 3 Blue LEDs for the map and rear light and 2 Superbright white LEDs for the license plate. Super easy install. Will take pics soon.

Can someone confirm the part number for each of the following:

MAP Light = 3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb
Dome Light (ceiling) = Same as above?

Ok do you guys think 31X13 will fit the map and dome lights? Since you all bought 31X10 figure I should ask ... I am getting the RED SMT 6 LED from v-leds.com thanks

BRSi · 04-11-2008, 06:20 PM

I didn't see this RED MSMT 6 LED DOME LIGHT 3022 3021 DE3175 6428 6430

and ordered this instead RED SMT 6 LED DOME LIGHT 3022 3021 DE3175 6428 6430

Do you guys think it will fit or should I call/email and change my order? Or is the first one above a better design/light output for the map light? Thanks again.

BRSi · 04-11-2008, 07:30 PM

I emailed the store just in case, but if anyone here could help would be great also.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 04-11-2008, 07:34 PM

as long as the size is the same, it wont matter

I bought the one this guy recommended. :)

llJON4TH4Nll · 04-17-2008, 12:22 AM

Bought these 3x 3022x9led interior lights and 2 whp high led bulbs for my license plate.

i really recommend the license plate bulbs.

The 9led dome lights have crappy output and they blew my fuse in 2 weeks. Replaced my fuse but they'll probably go out again! They look better than the amber oem's though
