Thanks. Love how bright these things are now. I found a guy who sold the T5 LEDs that have 6 5630 SMDs. Its the best I could find...



He has a T5 and a T6.5. I got the T5s, but they seems a little loose. If anyone does go with these from this seller, I'd consider the T6.5's.

Finished installing LEDs into interior minus gauge cluster and HVAC controls.

Are the LEDs almost too bright or are they just right? I can't seem to tell from the pics if I'd be annoyed at how bright the LEDs are at night.

You might be if you get a bulb with a high SMD count. If you got like 8 SMD 578 bulbs you probably wouldn't be. Mine are 16SMD and some have said its too bright, but I like being able to see at night.

Depends on a mixture of SMD count and number. If you dont want something very bright, I wouldn't go any higher than a 5050 SMD LED.

Yeah but the door lights don't put out enough light up high to bug you. I was mainly talking about the dome light.
