Default Doing the LED conversion to my bulbs... so many choices - help me out guys

So Ive been looking into finally changing out all of the bulbs inside the LS. Found the sticky thread about the bulbs. When I look up that specific LED bulb there are like 5-10 variations of the same bulb type.

For example the wedge type bulbs I need for the interior I found these:



and these:



Im assuming the longer one may not work.

For the dome lights I found even more versions







What types did you guys go with for your conversions?

I got the first wedge one and first dome one, they are okay not as bright as I thought it would be but you do get what you pay for if I remember correctly I think I got like 20pcs for 5-8 bucks shipped on ebay

lol depends what kind of light output you desire. if you want something decent that's not too bright and not too dim, i say stick with the 5-SMD LEDS (pictured in the 2nd pic). but definitely ebay is your best friend.

For the dome actually? The wedge should fit easily.

i use vleds.com for all my LED needs. great pricing, fast FREE shipping, and good warranty. all shipped from a US address too!

i always go with 5k 360 degree LEDs since certain places are mounted different than others. forward or flank style will not always work.

i used these throughout the interior and lic plate lighting.

i used a universal board for the trunk since it's the worst lit area on the car! you can do the same with the dome if you want it super bright.

LuxuryMods LED boards for me. They are the brightest I've tried and the best thing is they all match. Pure white no blue tint.
