those are small white benches. Not sure why it looks like chicken! I thought you would notice the crisp $20 bills in the cup holder before chickens!

False. LEDs can dim (fade out) depending on the driver circuit. The reason why these LEDs don't fade is because the driver circuit tries to regulate the voltage and current to the LED. The driver maintains LED brightness given an input range until the voltage becomes too low for it to keep it on. It is much more efficient than the resistor approach, but it loses the fade functionality.

So I ordered the LED kit from them and 3 of the 5 bulbs have gone bad already.

Do I get a refund or more sent to me? Im kinda pissed, the went out within like a week too.

Why is this type of bulb supplied for the trunk light..

Shouldn't the light be side firing instead of firing out of the top? Seems like 75% of the bulbs output is lighting up the inside of the trim panel and not into the cabin.

agreed when I installed the trunk LED, it was probably worse than stock!

Ok, so I went with red map lights and the red trunk light (along with white for the license plate). Decided to post some pics (a couple I used a flash) to add some variety, seeing as most went with white LEDs. I didn't do a DIY since it's an easy install and there are a ton of writeups.

I was installing a wood trunk setup for my air suspension and I took apart the trim in the trunk (including this light cover) and I misplaced it and now am looking for a new one for me. Anyone have any ideas where I can find one??

Ebay or part out here.

What would this be called? I tried to search it but nothing would come up. Is there a specific name for this I tried interior cargo light, interior trunk light cover etc.

Somewhere toward the end of owner’s manual, there’s a table with all lightbulb sizes. Use that to search for LED equivalent.

Trunk, license plate, and interior dome light are all size 194 LED.

does that map light really illuminate red or more like pink?
