Brociouz, would you suggest any bulb to get an 6000k look for fogs or just go with HIDs?

You'll most likely have to hammer in the ends slightly to make it fit. The trunk light is even smaller than the rear dome light.

Pretty sure you won't be able to get anywhere near 6000K without HIDs. I used DDM Tuning 6000K fogs, which matched my 6000K Garax low beams quite well.

Yeah I thought I would need to do that but the LED fit for me. The little metal part that holds the led in place (I dont know what its called) is sitting crooked at an angle since the LED is a little too big to fit.

Some of the LEDs will not fade in/out completely smoothly if that's what you mean by flicker.

Not sure if you can swap a LED in there but most people just use LED strips

I used an oznium scion switch (almost fits perfect. Some light sanding is needed to make it fit perfect) and 2 blue LED strips in the driver and passenger side, all from VLEDs.

I think what people do is tap into the stock light and wire the LEDs to it. I wanted to control when the LEDs would be on, which is why I added the switch.

Search for the footwell led DIY and it should help you
