I have the kit from IJDMToy and it is super bright. I honestly had an LED kit from eBay before and it was garbage so I would rather spend a little more money but get nice quality parts.

+1 on ijdmtoy.com. All my interior lights match my XD HID Volt kits perfect.

Been on my 98 GS400 for about 3 years now with no issues. Now I'm running them on my IS250 too.

Dude... You don't need to reverse the transaction. Those lights will be just fine for what you are doing. I've had mine in for 3 weeks and have zero issues, huge improvement over the regular bulbs. No flicker, no problems, super easy to install.

If I were doing anything with the MAIN lights (head, DLR, etc) then I would go after super high end $$$ stuff.

For your map lights and mirror lights you do not need to spend the cash on super high end stuff, that is just silly. You paid $14 bucks for enough bulbs to do the entire inside of the car and they will look and work just fine.

Swede you have a point it's cheaper but it's cheaper for a reason and we all know the reason. Plus you only had the kit for 3 weeks which I think is not enough time to really try the item. I've had the Ijdmtoy kit on my previous IS for over a year and zero issues and the moment I got my IS350 I ordered a new set. Here is a pic of it lit up when it was pitch dark outside.

That is bright! Well either way. I already bought ebay package and its been shipped but the moment they start flickering I'll order a set from ijdmtoy.

I bought a kit from ebay from the same seller but for an RSX years ago. After 6 months my dome flickered, and I found myself changing bulbs more often than I wanted to.

I spent the extra 3 bucks a bulb and got better bulbs from a reputable dealer and I havent had to change my bulbs and its been over 16 months (knock on wood) .. well worth it in my book

Yeah... if I get at least 6 months out of these bulbs I'll be happy with spending the 14 bucks. After that I'll just buy a good quality set.
