i just ordered the superwhite, but im kinda worried that since its a flat LED, its semi directional.

in all the pics of the white, the center of the HVAC is bright, but the sides seem dull, if not, they seem blank.


anyone notice this???

easiest way to find out is to take your center console apart and see if there are any neowedge bulbs

Maybe, but they'll probably charge you 10 times as much.

Thanks (AS ALWAYS)
In an 06, the amber is merely a "condom" over a clear bulb. Remove the lite, slide off the lil rubber condom, and the amber is gone

They fit just fine. Only real difference is that ours needs a Philips to get the orig. out and a flathead to put the new ones in. They seem to be a little smaller in diameter, but not enough to make them not work correctly. I think they look great!

i wonder if there's one that changes color, that would be cool haha ... maybe not. the first time i put it on, didn't work. i just rotate it 180 degrees, like a positive and negative side where you just have to flip it and it worked for me. not sure if other people have the same problem. it's bright in the middle, and dimmer on the sides.
