I think they are very bright. Anyone try to remove these Leds and put them anywhere else in the car, like in the eyelids? If so, then I would buy some from a dealership.

I put an interior led in the eyelids and got an error code... Your best bet is E-bay.

The map light bulbs are not LED, they are ordinary W5W bulbs. They are yellowish and are not that bright. I replaced them with the 4300K leds from the past LED group buy. Now my map lights are white and bright.

I was also referring to the same thing, the map light is under the rear view mirror as the OP has mentioned. I did change the lights under the rear view mirror to 4300Ks as well.

odd. mine are super-white and are quite bright.

it made me wonder too, when i first got the car and noticed the difference between the map lights (white) and the dome lights (yellow).
