They don't risk the housing... they're saying that the heat from the headlight bulb could damage the LED bulbs - and void THEIR warranty.

They look good, if you don't mind buying new ones every few months.

dont get them!

i got them and they looked good for about 3 weeks untill my luminics titanuim white started burning them out! They went 1 LED by 1 LED. looked weired when they starting flickering then gone! i went to autozone and got some bright white LED bulb like this!

works great and no problems!

although i do have the 6 LED bulb in my front and rear dome lights! The same that was in my parking light! Their awsome and bright!



**so get the ones in the 1st pic for the parking lights and for the inside dome lights get the one in the second pics! BTW mine were both white.**


Buy them here VVV

Rear dome light? Isn't that a festoon style bulb? I replaced mine, unfortunately its not that bright.

Also, I'm guessing you're talking about your rear parking light (where you had the 6 bulb LED)? I've been thinkin about putting some LEDS back there and have been worried about heat. Not as bad as the fronts I'm guessing?

Or just use freaking regular bulbs. PIAA Xtreme Whites look nice.

Yes, the rear dome is a festoon bulb, unless they changed it after '05.

I have 6-LED bulbs in my license plate lights.

As far as heat, what heat? The heat that burns out some LED's in the front is from the headlight bulbs.

Are you talking about the backup lights?

What heat?

Yeah, sorry, I'm an idiot. I was talking about the backup lights. I had a brain fart moment.

^^ because they made it that way.

if you want the whole thing to light up... you're gonna have to pay a few bucks and either do it yourself, or have someone do it for you.
