Yea I had blue too and it was too bright and annoying so I had bought white just in case and switched to those.



The 3022x9 is at the top, that is what I had in blue and it was really bright, I dont have it in white though. I just have the 3022x4, it is pretty bright but not too bright that it is annoying.

Heres the page

Check my pic of the the uninstalled bulbs on the last page, the big festoon fits in the rear dome and the small one fits in the trunk with some convincing.

I would steer you away from the wide-angle LEDs, they burn out fast in the headlights and mine in the rear plate eventually failed causing me to be pulled over (when they fail they turn into strobes). I'd go with something incandescent like the PIAAs I linked to last page.

Yea, I wish I got the 3022x9 in white but I was expecting to get tired of the blue so fast. Yea it was tight but defiantly fits and works.

The 3022x9 is a bright bulb.

What license plate bulbs do you have from superbrightleds, and how long did have they lasted?

ive posted on other threads about my license plate lights. ive tried plenty of LED's supposed to be WHITE but all showed too much blue, at least enough to get pulled over for them a while back. Ive had these Polarg WHITE bulbs in for a good while with zero problems and i love the color.

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...asc&&start=240

i also bought those bulbs Garage was selling, just not what i was looking for.

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=asc&&start=40

all in all, ive stuck with these in my license plates and have zero plans on changing them...

Yep thats the one i had from garage i actually liked them alot but i know wat u mean about them being alil blueish and i had the polarg with the blue tips when i first had my car, they looks great, yes but after a year and half with them the blue faded on me i have NO clue why i liked those alot too, the blue faded almost to a nasty greenish yellow. I think im gonna go with the one i posted b4. the one that looks like a chip lol

The PIAAs are the only ones I have experience with. The ones that Yanki posted look pretty much just like them.

Excellent post!

All I ask is that you guys give my bulbs a chance as countless others have here on Scionlife & other sites. I think I offer outstanding bulbs build quality wise, output wise & price wise!

I guarantee all of my bulbs 100% unless they are used in the headlight housings. You have an issue, I will take care of you. If you do not like the bulbs for any reason, return them for a full refund! Mind you, I think you will be more than happy with what I offer. I also warranty all of my bulbs from long ago / previous revisions. Even the ones from superbright I used to sell. If you had an issue, you will be taken care of.

These are the latest and greatest after a lot of effort to find & have a rock solid LED bulb built. Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have!

For the front domes, these are my best. I also highly recommend them for the license plate! They look outstanding! I get compliments on on a regular basis.

http://store.garage1217.com/insane-1...edg194168.html

For the rear dome & trunk, I have these 3022's. They are perfectly color matched to the front 168/194 bulbs listed above!

http://store.garage1217.com/new-alum...219416839.html

For the cubby, I have this rock solid 3 chip 5050 unit. I think I am the first to utilize this particular LED for a #74. I use it as it is as reliable as a plcc-2 with more output!
http://store.garage1217.com/new-74-w...ub7435050.html

All of my products are shipped via priority mail with delivery confirmation at a flat rate of $4.99. I also carry all of your needs for custom gauge swaps!

Hope to do business with you guys soon!

Wow that is strange. They do not get near as hot as a standard bulb so that would not be the issue. Heck, I can touch one after it has been on an hour without a sizzle sound like a standard bulb haha. What was the issue with the harness..? And thanks for the kind words.
