wow~ finally changed all my interior lights to blue, except for the door ones, gotta wait for the white plastic chips. The puddle lamps wasn't that bad, but the LED 194s i got were abit too long, couldn't intsall them without taking off the LED cover. BUT OVERALL, IT'S GREAT!! i like it alot! i will pose some pics later! thanks for the instructions.

Yes, you can use it for the trunk and it really lights it up! Only you´ll have to bend a bit on the contact-holders to make it fit, it´s no big deal thou. For the dome, I cannot tell as I have another one for this which uses 4 LED´s and has the original form and size.
And now comes the crappy cellphone pic:

Now the real question is... does he really mean the DRLs, or has he mistaken them for the City Lights? And if he does actually mean the DRLs, does he know that if he is thinking of changing them to white, that buying a whiter bulb will not make them much whiter because they will still be running at only 25% and will still look yellow? And on top of ALL of that, does he know what a pain in the a$$ it is to change them?

LOL, lots to wonder huh?!
