Looks nice and bright. IMO though if you still have some lights that you want to upgrade i'd order them from v-leds.com.. They're great and they have awesome LED's that won't burn out after a short amount of time. Just an FYI.

i re-did all my interior lights to leds months and months ago and i still love them. i dont know why yours started flickering unless you bought some cheep brand. years ago i put leds in my license plate and side markers and those just went out, but it was some junk brand by apc or matrix got them from super autobacs. and that explains why they are out of business. they sold crap.

The comment was directed toward the quality of most of the LEDs sold on EBay. I dropped close to $200 on LEDs for my car almost 2 years ago. Not a flicker or light out yet.
