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.

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.
