Yes, I did. I don't have the current discount code from V-LEDS, the last one expired yesterday. But at least the price isn't too bad. They're also the easiest bulb to change. Now if I ever use the cargo lights is a different story

Any flickering with the DRL LEDs?

I'm surprised you haven't done the Phillips silver Visions in the front and rear blinkers.I did it and like the mod.

Joeb427- the dome light you recommended is 5k and all of papplex bulbs are 6k...do you have 5k all around? Do you know if the map light in stock RX is 5k or 6k? Am trying to match the same color. Thanks.

Joeb and I used the same bulbs for the dome lights, doors and footwells - 7 total. They're all 5k. The cargo lights in mine are 6k. I'm not worried about the difference since they don't come on when the door is opened.

The 5k and OE map bulbs are similar but not exact. It's hard to compare the two since the map light cover is clear and is more focused whereas the dome light is not on both parts. I'd say there's more of a color difference between the OE dome light and the OE map light.

I went 5K because I want white light and not too bright.
Most 6K bulbs tend to be bluish white and brighter.
Can't help you with the map light K number but I just took a look and the map lights seem to have a purplish tint.

Joeb, I haven't counted. Like I needed a reminder about how much I've spent on bulbs I might spring for the reverse lights though.
