Default ***leds*** on ebay

Dome Light: $1.79 - Free Shipping

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Interior...4a2c78&vxp=mtr

Map Lights/Reverse Lights/License Plate Lights: $0.99 (6) - Free Shipping

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-T10-W5W-1...65361e&vxp=mtr

I have absolutely no idea what the difference would be from these lights from China and the ones that superbrightled.com offers. All I know is that these seem a heck of a lot cheaper than ordering the ones off of superbrightled.com. I ordered all interior lights, reverse, and tag lights for my ol' lady's car from superbrightled.com and wasn't too terribly impressed compared to the money I spent for them. I mean, the white light looks a helluva lot better than the halogen, but it definitely wasn't worth the money.

I was hoping someone can help me figure out if these bulbs will work with the suggested locations above. I just tried to cross-reference them from superbrightleds vehicle bulb finder and ebay. Like I said above, I know nothing about these little leds, but it seems to me that if it's an actual led, then it should be bright. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on these bulbs.

lol, I have no idea about these things. I mean, if I plug them into my truck, is it going to short out my entire electrical system?!?!?! All of these lights combined are under $10, which sounds a whole lot better than $40 from SBL.com.

Are they the right sizes?

i got four t10's two for my map lights and one for my license plate light, ill have one left over. led's shine directional, i notice the ones u posted have more leds on the end and mine have them on the side, so yours might be better for the map lights? i also ordered three festoon leds for my dome light with holds three lights. the map lights i ordered should work just fine i think.

So you're saying the dome light has 3 slots for 3 festoon bulbs? I don't know because I haven't taken mine apart yet, but my ol' lady's car only had 1 slot for 1 festoon bulb. Hmmmmm......I might want to check that out

yeah my '09 has 3 one in the middle slot (dome light) and one on each side (reading lights) that u can turn on with the switch. the center light turns on when i open the door. i was looking at wide festoons like the ones u posted but wasnt sure they would fit? the ones i posted are less leds but a bit narrower
