I've gone thru two LED festoons for my dome.

They work fine for a few months but eventually they start flashing and then out entirely.

I know for a fact that my dome LEDs are still slightly on like how other people are experiencing.
Would that be the problem? or is it da bulbs?

i bought mine from Devin, TheXenonStore.com

but i just learn that it is more expensive than somewhere else...
this is the cheaper one, but minimum of $25 to ship, so better to buy as GB

make sure that u get at least 6LEDs for the festoon bulb, ifnot it will not be bright enough (i started with 2LEDs, and i can't even read map or any peice of paper at night!)

enjoy shopping~

Thanks... I just want to confirm I am looking for the 31mm 6LED Blue Festoon Bulb, is that right? There are too many LEDs.. what are those 5 Blue LED Strips for?

Under dash LED lights?? ;)

I got those, one on each side, they look very good.

^^ I have the 12" one's from CT and going to attempt to install within few weeks (still trying to figure out how to mount the button). I would be interested in the dome/map lights in red too, but after i get the LED tubes installed i think. see how it looks first.

My licence plate LED burnt out, i dunno if it was because of the weather though cause its only been like 4 months.

I bought mine from autolumination. The glovebox light was the first to go, about 3 months in. Then the license plate light about 8 months in. And now my dome light is going on and off. Not sure if its just their quality of LEDs. How long do the ones from devins last for? I may buy a new set if his last longer than the autolumination ones.

I have gone through 2 license plate lights.

I think water gets in there and fries it.

That would explain it. It is kinda suceptable to the elements. Ah well the LEDs came in a package of two so I'll replace it soon enough.
