Yeah, Walmart carries them. buy the double pack though, it'll save you a few bucks. Well worth 35-40 bucks.

try http://autolumination.com/194.htm and look at the High power (super high-flux) 1 watt LEDs for the parking lights and front interior dome. For the license plate, I recommend either the 5 LED, or just go with a regular incadescent superwhite bulb. You don't have to get them from autolumination, but those are the types I recommend.

i had them, and they were great. they were very bright and i had no problems with them. I upgraded the harness just to be safe.

BUT, when i did that Silverstar 9005 retrofit it worked 100x better than the Luminics i had! The road light was amazing, it was soooo crisp and a bright white with a slight shade of blue! Worked out awsome! I recommend that to everyone who wants better lighting. i noticed it as in night and day from the luminics. the luminics were bright but not brighter than the silverstars! I had Luminics Ultra White and Titanium White. I got alot of flashes with the luminics and i havent had one with the silverstars!
