hmm mine appeared to have a tiny bit of solder on each end where it touched the terminals. A very tiny amount and it didn't just pop out. Odd.

Here are the pictures of the new flex LEDs I got at advanced auto parts today. Lot brighter (says 80%) that the original strips guys were using for the mirror reflector mod! Kinda pricey at 30bucks but they are DAMN bright!

Changed out all the interior lights bed lights and license plate lights, what a difference!

Before LEDS


and after (note these are the warm white bulbs they just look more of a natural white that the ugly yellowish hue)


License plate light comparison


New bulbs installed


Bed light took some afro engineering to get those oversized bulbs to fit in, just had to trim off a little plastic on the housing.

just cut a small v in the bottom and they popped in the housing




Pulled the puddle lamps out cut them apart to get the new festoon's in, now just have to let the jb weld dry and I will install them tomorrow.

I might be missing something but my search on Superbrights is very limited due to internet restrictions here.

Thanks!

Can we see what the cargo/bed light looks like on the floor of the bed? That's where it really counts!
