Default Anyone try this? LED Dome light

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-LE...Q5fAccessories

The reason that I ask is because I did purchase a LED bulb either from Garage1217 or from Ebay, I do not remember. But the light is just so dull I believe because it had just 4 LEDs in the bulb. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and have gotten really good results.

Thanks

The LED I currently have is the one from Garage1217. It was the older 4 Led one. Does anyone have pictures of their current bulb they have? I'm just concerned that the light does not spread out enough around the cabin.
Thanks again

I Bought the 24 LED array from Oznium and put 2 of them side-by-side in the cabin dome lamp. It's VERY bright. You can do brain surgery in my 'D The light shines on the ground and the next car in the parking lot too. Wifey loves the brilliance and we installed the same thing in her Yaris. Oznium's warranty is better than any other around. They TRULY stand behind their product. I KNOW, they replaced something for me even if I told them that I caused the failure while trying to install.

lol, the first time they sent me a "6 led pair of white size 168" bulbs. i wrote to their customer service, and the FOLLOWING day they overnight shipped me the "replaced part". guess what, same thing. so i sent another e-mail to them (they don't have a phone number, but 24 hour customer service to e-mails). told them i wanted a phoen call and explanation of what was going on. the guy wrote back to me that no phone call was needed, that he himself was going to go pick the part and package it.

overnight, and guess what, got the right part. sent the others back, no restocking fee, and very fast and courteous to resolving my issue with VLED's. i would rate their customer satisfaction a 5 out of 5.... the shipping/packing department... 2 out of 5. LOL

Not sure if they have the BEST around I offer a lifetime warranty on all of my bulbs & led swaps, even on the units from years past that I did not offer that warranty on That and I have supported & worked specifically with the scion community for many years! I stand by my customers new and old. Hope to earn your business & others anytime, anyday!

You do realize you just replied to an 11 1/2 year old thread, right? Might have been better served by posting a new topic and including pictures of the bulbs you got.

@Bennyboy Hi, I get a LED dome light from e-bay. Looks like a square area with like 36 LEDs. I installed like 7 years ago, and the output light is not that bright. If I need bright light in my cabin I use an external light. I got that light because at that time cost cheap like $2 with free shipping. Then the current consumed is less than the Toyota original incandescent bulb. That feature I not need today, because I replaced my OEM (Original EquipmentManufacturer) Alternator with a better alternator of 200 Amperes. This charge fast the battery and can have more electric accessories (like the party multi-color Disco musical lights, or car refrigerator).

Anyone seen this? Meso Customs Ultimate Dome Light

I know Toyota likes to use their Legos in other cars, so I'm going to try it as soon as it's back in stock.

Don't know what happened here but I'll buy the one I mentioned when it's back in stock and let you guys know how it works out.
