I just recently purchased a Scion XD..i decided to mod my interior lights with
the WLED 6-LED bulb for the front dome lights and 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb for the passenger dome light all in white

The WLED-6 is very bright and looks gorgeous. However the 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb was rather dim in comparison. I assume its because of the ribbing on the dome cover.

Anyone have any suggestions? Another bulb with 6 LEDs perhaps, if so what would be best to use?

I have these in my parking lights and I like them. Not so bright that they're annoying, but with my 6k HID's the compliment them well. I have an 08 tC which has different headlights than the 07 and earlier. One thing to note about these, is that they DON'T fit snugly in the bulb socket. I had to use very thin strips of electrical tape to hold the bulbs in the socket. Also, since there are LED's on the side, it's very easy to catch the bulb on the housing when you pull them out.....which will cause the bulb to fall into the housing.

This is a picture up close




This is a comparison to the stock one (stock is on right, LED is on right)


This is with my 6k HID's on and both LED's installed.

u yeah.. same happened to me with the o8 headlights when i installed the blue ones for my brother.. the 5 led one fall in into the housing


btw the 5 led one fits perfect in the 08 and pretty bright.. brighter than the 12 leds one because they have the leds on the side.


and that WLED-xHP6 Wedge Base Bulb one is fits perfect in the license plate lights.

Default Driving/Parking Lights

Ok, I just bought some LEDs for my interior light swap including the trunk light. The lights I have before there the first time I swap was alright not including the bulb for the trunk which burnt out. To make a note of this, I bought these from EBAY. Taking into account for going with SuperBrightLEDs.com I bought the necessary bulbs to replace. I gotta say they kick ___. All of them of course are "cool white".

My question is that since I reviewed this post, there seems to be some bias as to which bulbs to use to replace the driving/parking lights. Oznium or SuperBrightLEDs?
I mean I gotta admit that I'm planning to replace my third brake light soon and would chose Oznium but for driving/parking lights, I'm skeptical to either of them to replace it.

My overall point is which one can I install without having any worries/hassles etc associated with burning or melting my setup? I just want it to work without replacing every several or few months depending on others' experiences.

Default Oracle Halo Kits

Instead of changing my driving/parking lights, I could go with the ORACLE Halo Kits by Advanced Automotive Concepts which is located not too far from where I live in the NOLA metro area. They do replace the driving/parking lights according to their FAQ.

I'm not too sure about it though, plus I just received my 08' OEM taillights. I might want to acquire some 08' headlights as well even though I will need to replace those lights. Don't know which way to go though.

YES!!! i have the second set of blue 5 leds in my headlights and they work great. really bright and the blue and green looks sick!


well.. someone else said he's leds started to flicker in the headlights.. well.. then.. i think there was a few 5led ones which was from a bad "series"

or something.. and maybe thats what i used for the license plate and thats what he used for hes headlights and they all flickered.............

then ones what i ordered lately working without any problem but i still didnt try them back there.. only for the headlights.
its a great led had mine for several months and i think i bought mine from vled.com but they dont sell them anymore...

well i just changed my bros parking lights.. hes got an 08 and we have the same 5wled leds.. i have blue hes got greens but on of hes just burnt out completely which is interesting because usually they just start to flicker, etc..

i think its because the 08 has some kind of problem there.. not too big but enough to damage the leds.

Personally I give much credit to autolumination.com

My 48 LED 7440 turn signal and 25 LED 194.

I know it looks like my highbeam is on but that is just the LED running light.
