LED Lights

Has anyone had any luck swapping out their interior lights with LED bulbs?

I tried 2 different bulbs, but they remain on

Same issue with the license plate bulb.

any suggestion greatly appreciated.

I’m Just curious, why swap out your nice halogen that have a CRI rating of 100 with led that don’t have a CRI rating above 96, and are most likely 90.?

On my C Class 204 the in front center dome lights have such big housings that reflect light that a 5W w5w/501/T10 LED was too bright so I swapped it for a halogen 955 16W and it's just right .

You can see how retena burning bright the LED are in this pic of when I replaced the reversing lights with LED .




On my other car I did a full set of interior led but none have sizeable reflective housings .
