Vanity Lights

Has anyone tried the Vanity Mini 3 Led SMT Festoon from Autolumination? If so did they work? Thanks.

Can you give a link for these bulbs? How was the installation?

They haven't arrived yet. I got Hyper White incandescent bulbs instead of LED's. If I don't like them, I'll try some LED's next. Ill post before/after pics once I get them in today or tomorrow.

EDIT: The festoon bulbs I got are too big and don't work. The vanity bulbs are tiny and I don't know if we'll find anything whiter to replace them.

Im returning the festoons that I got because they are the wrong size and getting these today (the ones peterbanks is referring to). After taking the bulbs out and examining them and the fixture, I'm certain they will work. I'll post results.

How much brighter is the 5-LED than the stock light? It doesn't look like the 9-LED is smaller than the 12-LED so the trunk light cover still probably won't fit? The 12-LED really lights up the trunk, but the cover won't fit. I wonder how much the 5-LED lights up the trunK?

I wonder if I could get away with 1-LED for the license plate lights. I don't want to make any easier for cops to read my license at night.

I have the 5 in the trunk and it is brighter than stock, but I just ordered this one as it should be even brighter and still fit with the cover closed.

Here are a few pics for comparison:

5 LED in Trunk



WLED-WHP



6 LED



I ended up using the WLED-WHP, brighter than the 5, better beam pattern than the 6, and fits no problem with the cover closed.

Stock License Plate:



1 LED



5 LED



I ended up using the 5's in the license plate.
