As long as it doesn't throw errors. I've never had an issue with my dealership about them. You can keep daylight running lights off and disable door auto dome light if you're paranoid though. Doubt they'd pay attention during day time.

nah im playing... i see no reason they should say anything to you about it if you put them in well...
shoot my service guy advised me to try and put them in when i asked them to.
and all interiors are 194... foot wells will need resistors... and rear reading light is a festoon (dont know what type STILL)

yeah, I think I told you once that the ideal set for license plates are the single emitter ones from CTGilles where they shine straight out instead of side to side which are better for housing illumination. The license plate LEDs, you want to shoot straight down towards the plates to illuminate the plates. These dual emitters are perfect for eyelids, sidemarkers, and interior. Although you can still use them for license plates, they won't be as bright on your plates.

Yep, you did told me about it . I am just going to swap them with the two trunk lights. Just need to look for two single emitter for the license plate now.
I am very curious to see whether these would work in the footwell without flickering like CTGilles's.

Not to throw caution to the second GB but people should know. The LED turns BLUE-r as time goes by so be careful with going 6000K. It may just become Purple at the end of the day. As couple of us mentioned already, starts out nice and bright almost white but ends up blue and that is with the 4300K. I was a bit shock when I first discovered it.
Once again, Thanks for the first group buy

Ok, I put mine today. At first, I didn't like it. It's be cause it looked purple and weak. I drove home after school and notice the color is white with very very light bluish. The blue is not noticible. It looked great. I love it.
Now, the color is white and matches well with Xenon light. It does not give error, and IMO great product.
thank you to AZNc300. It's great to have a member like you in forum.
