Many pages back you'll see a pick of someone's license plate with one 6LED bulb and one single 1Watt LED (the super-duper bright one). It looked pretty good with the super-duper bright LED (lower color temp). I'll prob use those if/when my 5led bulbs go out, but that's pretty hard unless they get wet?

And FYI, I just swapped my coworker's trunk light in his IS350... its the same exact light housing as our tC! =)

quick question - i just tried installing the LEDs and I got the front 3 done but when I went to put the festoon bulb in the back dome light, it seemed way too big. I read it's supposed to be a little bigger than the stock but it wouldn't fit & I was a little nervous to force it in there. I got the bulb that's on page 1. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sort of off topic and I can't seem to confirm. But I want to switch out the trunk light in my tC and the cubby light. Is the cubby a 194 socket led bulb? And can I use the festoon bulb in the trunk like I did with the rear dome?

I'd like to order today and get this out of the way..

Thanks guys!
