5 6000K LEDs ( 2 courtesy and 3 cargo ) with roof OEM 4,000K color LEDs ON. You can see the yellowish difference and hope to see a write up and link on how to upgrade these 2 touch or door open ON LEDs.

Same photo as before caught in page 2 and 3. 5 LEDs ( 2 courtesy and 3 cargo LEDs = 5 LEDs at 6000K white color )

I took the courtesy visor lights off with an old credit card and some pressure. Pressure will not leave any marks.

So how many for the whole car?

2 T10s for the cargo area, 2 T10s for the vanity?

Did you guys upgrade the doors? Do they require 4 T10s?

Thanks

any of you have any issues with the JDM bulbs for the cargo lighting thus far?

Flickering? Going out? Just scared to spend money on something so cheap! And the amazon reviews are mixed.

No issues so far from me. The 3 cargo area white and bright leds still look great with no flickering. Each one cost $5 and only 10% of 700 reviews are bad with almost 80% good reviews.

Cool beans. Glad JDM is quality.

Any idea of these bad boys would work? They seem to be the "newer" model with a 2 year warranty.

And of course there is Philips:

Has anyone found single-sided bulbs that face the right way when plugged in - seems like a waste to throw half the light against the back of the light fixture.

I have used these in my ES and they worked great.
One did flicker almost immediately but the rest are still going strong after two years.

Buy extras.

Hi
Did you get to try these out? Do they fit/work well?

Haven't gotten my car yet. April

But I have everything loaded and ready for me. I am 99% sure they will fit and be better and brighter than expected.

I did the above except for the courtesy visor.

Why? Not becasue I could not do it but because that color temp makes humans look sickly in the mirror.
