advans, I can see the built in resistor, but I'm doing electric currents and stuff in my lab which I have at 1230 today, and we have like a million resistors, perhaps I should gank 2 of them lol what value resistance should I take to try?? 
p.s. this is my college science requirement class, which I hate, so I'd love to steal some!!

I DO like them, but i like my blue better. But im sure it looks crazy against a white shirt or even some white panties on the passenger side. I mean of course, if you can fill that spot & with a Merc I pray your able to.
Again, looks good!

Thats a good one...I don't drive with these on tho...so they're not on all the time...they are bright, which is part of the reason I don't but as you can see from my pic, it is sort of a head turner looking in from the outside...my gf not too crazy about all sorts of lights and stuff but i just give her one of these 
and say be quiet cuz I like em 
ps I dont really slap my gf haha

yeah, so i took the resistors i was talking about from my lab class, it looked like they were going to work then didnt.....I just want the interior leds to function normally...so where can I buy small resistors that will make any interior led bulb or license plate bulb work...can someone give me a link...thanks

Yeah I know, I like them for now...lol...the interior blacklights are awesome and I want them to work completely and even when the car is off, so I just need to know where to buy resistors that will work for them...i'm assuming maybe superbrightleds or autolumination, but im not sure exactly wut item it is that i need

Hi All, I just installed some interior LEDS and hmm...black lights. and some classic super white LEDS. (My car got stuck because of the huge snow storm here on the north east, so LED fogs (finally resistors came in!) will go on next weekend!
below are some pictures. it looks pretty sweet. they are all 42mm. cept the reading light, which is a 194/168.
something weird is that the dome lights (front and back) stay very dimly lit even if the lights are shut off and car is locked. hope it doesnt drain the battery
enjoy,

I have the same LED Setup. My question is my lights stay dimly lit while driving. Is there a way to turn them off, or does the LEDs just operate like that ? Also I tried them in the license plate and they flicker but in the dome lights in the interior they dont. I though they have resistors built in ? Thats what superleds say.

what SIZE of the LED bulbs you use?? Is it the same for all dome interior light? Can U give me some detail of thr bulbs lenght&watts ?? I try a lot but can't find the correct size? Any warning message came on ? Do You know what sise of the licence plate light?? coz I want to change it to white LED too. THANKS
mwestin,
these LEDs probably act this way. they constantly stay on while driving. but turns off when the car shuts off.

Yes it says they have risistors built in, and you can see them in the bulb...if the car is not running, mine don't stay on, they turn off after a few seconds...

Well, I'm not sure I'm clear as to what your asking...when the ignition is off and say I'm just sitting in the car and I switch the dome light on...it will come on immediately but then shut off...Ever since this started, I've been confused because I know LEDs draw less and with that being said would stay on like others have experienced, so why the heck are mine turning off?

My rear blinkers, which are obv 7507 bulbs, I got from autolumination
On the page, they are under the section European Bulbs and they're Xenon Super White $2.49each...these ones, you can see the blue during the day...but extremely bright as you can see
