I have no clye wats up with my harness thing, the right harness doesn't hold the bulb tight its loose and even with the new bulbs I put it in the right one doesn't hold it in place too great I thought it was bc of the first LED I had bc once I put a regular bulb in it was fine but nope its the actual harness cause when I tried installing ur bulbs on my mothers car it worked perfectly fine

Hmmm man that is crazy. Sounds like one of the contacts broke inside the harness. I would hit up a junkyard tC, cut off the plug & crimp the replacement back in.

Default LED dome light

Anyone have an idea how to get the plastic piece within the dome light out of the hole lol, i accidently spun the bulb and then had the bulb come out of the female part of the bulb set up. I dont want to pull the whole light down because i dont want to ruin my headliner...

You won't ruin anything. Just grab the whole dome assembly and yank down.

if people want to stop having 'sparks' while installing and blowing fuses while installing they need to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery first. no electrical work should be done with the battery hooked up!!

also ordered mine :D

I guarantee all of my bulbs 100% unless they are used in the headlight housings. You have an issue, I will take care of you. If you do not like the bulbs for any reason, return them for a full refund! Mind you, I think you will be more than happy with what I offer. I also warranty all of my bulbs from long ago / previous revisions. Even the ones from superbright I used to sell. If you had an issue, you will be taken care of.

These are the latest and greatest after a lot of effort to find & have a rock solid LED bulb built. Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have!

For the front domes, these are my best. I also highly recommend them for the license plate! They look outstanding! I get compliments on on a regular basis.

http://store.garage1217.com/insane-1...edg194168.html

For the rear dome & trunk, I have these 3022's. They are perfectly color matched to the front 168/194 bulbs listed above!

http://store.garage1217.com/new-alum...219416839.html

For the cubby, I have this rock solid 3 chip 5050 unit. I think I am the first to utilize this particular LED for a #74. I use it as it is as reliable as a plcc-2 with more output!
http://store.garage1217.com/new-74-w...ub7435050.html

All of my products are shipped via priority mail with delivery confirmation at a flat rate of $4.99. I also carry all of your needs for custom gauge swaps!

Hope to do business with you guys soon!

Yay just finished installing mine. I swapped the front and rear domes for blue, and map lights and license plate lights for Cool white. $26.74 shipped and 10 min to install. A rubber band is your best friend for this haha
