Holy s*** guys. Do NOT get the AutoLumination.com bulbs. They were blue last night (as you can see in my post above) but today I drove around a bit...and the blue tint on it started peeling I guess...it slowly turneds white...then after half an hour...they started showing a brown/red light...the bulb is obviously burning...when I get home today I am swapping them out...I hope they didn't melt my housing yet =(. Just wanna tell you guys...make sure you do not get the bulbs from AutoLumination.com even if they claim they are stock wattage -_-
btw outurleague, what bulbs are you running for those? I love that clean look.

Since this thread is active at the moment...one quick question...can you get PIAA extreme white 168 bulbs at an autozone or pep boys, or is it best bet to just order them from performace products?...they're only $12.59 but if I could get them at a store...I'd be on my way..

damn...shouldn't be a costy part...probably 5 bucks....anymore than that...ask the dealer if you can see one of their loaners...and tell them you need to borrow a license plate bulb lens

Interior Bulbs and License Plate Bulbs LEDS ?
I plan on changing my interior dome bulbs to a xenon type of bulb and the license plate bulbs too. I read the past threads about AutoIllumination melting people setups and to stay away. I happen to visit superbrightleds and they say their LEDS have built in resistors. Will these work for the whole setup ? What is the wattage we suppose to use ? Also has anyone tried Vision Bulbs for interior xenon bulbs ? Lastly what are the correct sizes for the interior bulbs ? Thanks
