Default No LED's in the door panels...

I assumed all the interior lights in the car were LED's. I took out the driver and passenger door panel courtesy lights and look what I found. Not a big deal, just interesting what they used.

Yeah, I kinda thought that door light isn't LED but now u confirmed it. When it lights up it does look like a colored bulb and it is!

Yeah, I replaced them all a while ago.

May do something more creative later, but for now they are a lot brighter.

Are these quality bulbs? How long should they last?

they are LEDs, Ive had them for a year in my 3IS, no issues. They are much brighter than just a bulb swap since the entire assembly is just one big SMD led panel
