Has anyone changed the rear lights out. The ones that come on when your lights are on. In the 2013-2015 it's the bulbs that produce that red line on the taillights.
Installed a few today, I would have to say the overhead dome lights might be a bit too bright. I will have to see if I get used to it but I might recommend going down a notch for them. I also did the blue footwells, hatch/trunk lights and reverse lights.
Does anyone know the which Vleds would be good for the turn signal and parking lights? Here are a few pics.

They are 168/194 which are the same as the 2 red lights on rear bump.
It's interesting that there is no warning light on when we switch to LED bulb.
Nice job, CanadianRX. The blue looks soothing. You'll get used to the brightness of the dome light. For the turn signals I have a combination of Stealth and Philips Superchrome. They eliminate the orange glow but look identical to OEM when on. An installer changed out the parking lights for me. I didn't get them from VLEDS.
Yeah the blue is really nice. Thanks for the inspiration!

The rear turn signal light bulb is 7440A. (A for amber I guess)
If you want to switch to LED, you will need to install resistors to prevent hyper flash.
And, most amber 7440 LEDs on amazon and ebay are barely seen under the sunlight.
Ordered some v3s from vled for the blinkers. Finally completed the puddle lights, easier than I thought it would be due to the great write ups. 15-20 min per side. One tip for others when removing the trunk lights and lower door, the side you want to slide your card in is the right side of the housing. That is the location of the clip you need to hit, they pop right out. Did 7 lights in 20 min. I'll try the rear dome soon.

Thank you greeknasty and all who took the time composing this write up. I'm looking forward to receiving my order and installing these myself. I'm a new owner of a 2015 450h. After this install I'll be considering a HID headlight upgrade.
Sorry for bringing this thread back from the grave, need some help with replacing the license plate lights. I searched the forum but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not a simple bulb switch and many go to the dealer for this. What would you like to swap them out for? Brighter? Different light? Most people just leave them since they are a pain
