no problem. i'm not sure about the interior and license plate lights. you should email the guy on the website to see what he thinks about resistors for those.

Ninja,

Here's a post from a while back that I believe answers your question.

what dome lights? inside the car? dunno about those

It doesn't matter which prong you shave down, just be careful not to break the light. Hold it by the metal end only and don't twist the metal from the bulb...I broke one doing this

I got the 5led from autolumination.com but that was a while ago. I guess they changed the design and made the bulb part larger? I remember I had to wiggle it slightly to get it to go in.
