Again, those look sweet...the main reason I'm getting them is basically for the dimming effect when unlocking the car, and entering and exiting with the locater lighting...now if they just get here tomorrow, it will make my day, if not I will be pissed, especially because I have two freakin PIAA bulb orders on backorder till 4/06 from performance products, which I'm not too happy about, because they are my first purchases from that site...autolumination seems like they have great service, ordered today and they already sent an email saying my order (more bulbs) would be shipped tomorrow..
I kept some lights WHITE b/c when I need to read in the car, lol i dont think I can read with the blacklights!

piaa doesn't make 1156 LED bulbs. In fact, I didn't see any 1156 bulbs on their website.

they don't "blow" out, they just turn off...just like other LEDs would, which means I probably need resistors or something, but I have no idea what to get and how to do that, I'm no electrician....i thought they didnt need resistors and were going to work fine, but oh well, back to the stock..

rotate the bulb, flip it left to right. it should work.

ok i didn't fiddle with it too much, so I will give it a shot...you've given me some hope because these look nice...another thing is, does the coupe have a rear dome like the sedans too?? i was just curious because I got 2 one for front and back dome...

Well, I tried the flippin' the bulbs around, they did the same thing...although I did notice that the lights worked perfectly fine when the car was running...but, like i said, they go off quickly when the car is not running...The back dome is more blue and not as "blacklighty" because of the thicker and less transparent lens (i think)...when the car was running and I turned on the light, it looked flippin sweeet, so I'd like to try and make these work
If I can't get these working, where can I buy these resistors? does any one have a link, and I'd need to know how to place them...

try putting the rear ones up front. and yea, LEAVE YOUR DOOR OPEN. or press the stay on button. and yeah. install them with your car off, and the dome light off.
take a small vid of how u install it. maybe i can help u!?
But if you do get it to work LuxuryC240, post pics against the grey leather.

LEDs are plug and play as well. for the price of regular bulbs, might as well get LEDs.
