I'll get pictures Ina bit. All mine were ordered off of superbrightled. Fast shipping; the packaging was solid; all lights work and were as I ordered. I just ordered the wrong number, and didn't measure correctly.

This is the door one. They said they fit in the license plate.. To long. I now have 2 extra.

Mine for my doors were too big.. I just modded the socket a bit for the door bulb and they fit.. wish I would've gotten the right ones, but they work fine and you obviously can't see how I changed the socket haha

Yeah.. It works like this I tried it out. The two kinda bulbs are interchangeable as long as they fit.. The long based ones (the ones I have in my third brake light) can be plugged into either socket. But if the area can't hold it. Then what's the point..

The small ones obviously can't be plugged into the ones ment for the long based.

The hyper white ones have a color temp of 6000K, which is close to a slight blue HID. On a '97 and '98, hyper white is artic blue, thanks to the film in the cluster. In addition to the updated, cool look, the power consumed is minimal! A fog light is usually 35-55 watts, while the LED is 1W. (I ordered some 4 W versions of the 9006, so I'll post if it's any brighter).
Good Job, Guys! Keep up the good work!
How do you know which gauge cluster, temp controls, and light switch bulbs to get? I just ordered the door lights, domes, license plate, hood, reverse and bed lights. Also just ordered full 3rd led light and tail lights.

But I want to know which bulbs to get for gauges, temp, and light switch?

Follow the ideas in the link below"

Even though the bulb carrier is similar to whats on the doors and license plate, you can NOT put in a "long" LED light bulb, nor one that is wider than the bulb carrier itself. Electrically, they'll work, but won't slide into the cluster nor Temp panels. Mine were the same NUMBER of LEDs as the pic here, but slightly SHORTER, and they fit (Ebay specials).
