NSXB said:For anyone who is a little apprehensive (I know I was) about taking off the side markers to replace the bulbs with LED's; I thought I'd post some pics to show you just how easy it is to remove the side markers. The release clip for the side markers is located on the side closest to the rear bumber. Just peel back the rubber seal a little (you don't have to remove it), carefully slide a flat head screwdriver between the body of the car and the metal clip, press in gently on the clip, and use the screwdriver to pop the side marker out. It should take no more than 2 minutes from start to finish...that's it!
NSXB said:Ok, I just received my order today. My car is a '98 (in case that makes any difference). The footwell bulb in my car is different from the doors, dome, and trunk. The bulb I ordered for the footwell is the 194 5LED Matrix from Autolumination.com...$6.99 ea. I replaced the dome light with the 3022 Festoon 31mm 9LED from Autolumination.com...$8.99 ea. The dome light bulb is much brighter than the 3022-4 LED that I ordered several months ago from Superbrightleds.com. Now that I know what will fit where, I'll be replacing the doors and trunk with the 3022 Festoon 31mm 9LED's as well. Hope this helps.
Any sidemarker and license plate recommendations?I just checked my mailbox and to my surprise my (5) interior and (2) parking LED's were sitting in there , I immediately ran to the car with all the mail and installed them all. THEY LOOK AMAZING! especially if you have HID's they match up so well compared to the oem bulbs. I just installed 6000K HID's and hated the different colors of the parking lights compared to the headlights so with the LED that problem went away. At first I was confused on what to purcahse as well but I managed to order all the right bulbs. Below is what I got, hope this helps you!
(2) Parking Lights = WLED 6-LED bulbs (white) $3.74/each
(5) Interior Lights (2 door panels, 2 dome, 1 trunk) = 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulbs (white) - $2.84/each
Make sure you choose (white) in the drop down menu when you order these bulbs otherwise, by default the colors are red!

I need replacement bulbs, but SuperBrightLED email is not working, anyone know if they are still around?
Is there another vendor for these bulbs?
So what is the preferred vendor for all of these lights?
I purchased these LED bulbs for my parking/driving lights to match up with my HIDs....Sadly, one of the bulbs blew within a mere few months. I know it is rear for LEDs to blow out so soon. I just replaced them with blue tinted basic bulbs; however, I miss the bright look of the LEDs
I had the same problem.....TWICE!!! There must be some type of ballast, resistor, or electrical component I need to add for my driving lights.
I purchased the set from autoilumination which I found to be a perfect "WHITE" match for my Ultinon 6000k HID's.
They lasted approx 3 weeks before I noticed one was totally out and the other was flickering. Upon closer inspection, the flickering one only had 1 of the 9 LED's still working. I chalked it up to a bad batch and switched to the superled versions that were a little bit more blue than my HID's. Again, 3 weeks have gone by and now one is flickering wildly. I suspect it is about to go.
D'ecosse, is there something I am missing here. All I did was purchase the LED's and plug them into the factory sockets. Incidentally, my interior and trunk lights work fine, but they are never on for extended periods of time. I feel like I am burning up the driving lights (below the head lights) because I use them approx 45 minutes straight, at times)
Any help is appreciated!
I tried those two back to back and it does really make a difference.*went with the WLED5 under the theory that the radial design would "fill" the parking lamp lense with light better than the directional design of the WLED6; will see how well this works out.
Regarding the festoon bulbs for the interior, the 3022-CWHP2 is a lot brighter than what you ordered. I'd get that one at least for the dome light.
