Awesome...how long have you had them in?

Also are you satisfied with the brightness?

Superbright is a little more expensive, but if they last longer than 4 hours, it may be worth it...lol

And that's the reason i went with autolumination. But I guess you get what you pay for. Not a good experience with them.

I had them for around 1.5 months so far, only took delivery of my tC back in beginning of July.

As I was about to go to checkout at superbrights and buy some front corners, I saw this:

Warning: do not use any of these bulbs in headlamp housings or any compartment where the bulbs would be subject to the extreme temperatures that headlamps can produce - heat will cause LED failure and VOID WARRANTY!

Our corners are in segregated housing's from the Headlamps. Heat from the Headlamps should not affect them.

Hey guys, I ordered these :
WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ge.html%23wled

Its the first set down in the link, the tab on the farthest right. Well, even Superbrights car finder says these work in the license plate, but....mine are not coming on. The bulb works cause I tested them on the front corners, any suggestions?

I've had issues with a few bulbs working in the license plates...they can be finicky.

Honestly, I've got to refer you to these:
http://www.v-leds.com/leds-by-part/1...4-168-158.html

They are PERFECT for our license plates. They have all four LED's facing at a 90-degree angle from the socket...which is exactly how our plate light socket holes are configured. I have them and they have been rock solid...and BRIGHT.

Aaahh, those are T13's not T10's like I got, good info, wish their stupid car bulb-size finder would have told me that .
I wrote Superbrights too, hopefully they will do a switch-aroo for me.
