Just Installed youledshop SMD Trunk LED! (Prototype)
 
As you've seen my thread last week, where I installed the whole interior led kit which included map lights, trunk light and license plate lights. While the map and license plate lights were perfect, I felt that the trunk led was not as bright as I think it should be. It's probably okay for some owners but I like my trunk area to be fully lighted as I do shopping and use the trunk regularly. So, thanks to cliff, he sent this awesome SMD Bright White led for my car to try out. Check it out:

Not 1 or 2, 24 bright white led! :eek:

As you can see, it fires straight into the trunk area not the plastic end!

Perfect brightness!

The pictures may not show (because it's very hard to take picture of bright bulb at night) but this LED panel lights up the whole trunk. Also, unlike previous trunk led which illuminates straight(as some of you asked), this SMD LED puts out full output TOWARD the trunk as it sits flush with the clear plastic surface. :tup:

Here's a video:

P.S. I know my trunk is very dirty :o. I still have wood chips from the woods I bought for ramp extenders)

Conclusion: These bulbs illuminates the trunk area perfectly. If like your trunk fully light up, please don't forget to ask cliff when you place your led kit order. I like to give them 9.5 out of 10! Very happy with the whole led setup now! :tup:

:icon17: I know I get carried away. But the car at night is perfect. Everything is white led. No more yellow ugliness.

I highly doubt it. Also, you don't want too bright red light for your dark room. You may get exposure on your films ;) (I took photography in High school :tup:)

Very nice. I just purchase a kit from them. Hopefully the trunk will be bright. If not, I'll just get this when it comes out.

I was going to let cliff chime in on pricing but I'll say this, these leds are very reasonably priced compare to the other led guys/companies :tup: (I think about $15 for the whole 24 led circuit strip!)

I just ordered red for the dome light and trunk, white for my license plate. According to Cliff I should be the first to try red, so I will post pictures once I get and install them. Im a bit nervous that the red will look "ricer" but for the $35 Im willing to experiment, besides I rarely use the dome light and it may look cool at night.
