They probably need a video to show the entire light and then how you took it apart to get to the light.

On your invoice, I see part numbers WLP-WHP6 for $7.95/each.

Using the vehicle finder on www.superbrightleds.com, the bulbs all come up as WLP-WHP5 for $5.95 each.

After searching for WLP-WHP6 on the site, it finds nothing. Looks they may have stopped carrying that 6 LED style in favor of the 5050 series/5 LED style..?

No idea. Print out my invoice, call and ask.

I replaced the lights on my doors, in the lights above the visors and in the trunk (I skipped the ones under the dash in the footwells). These changes make a great difference.
ALSO: Somebody then posted a note in another thread on how to get to the backup lights, and since I already had the plastic pry tools, I recently replaced the backup lights, and that replacement is the best of all, as the original lights are fairly dim but can be fairly important. The new ones are like headlights back there, and even with no ambient lighting, the lights provide more than enough light for the camera to pick up everything. It's like having your own personal light crew follow you around. That change is well worth it, and comes with my highest personal recommendation.
