BRIGHTER INTERIOR BULBS

I've installed LEDs like these. They have that warm glow just like the incandescent bulbs without the bluish color of the normal LEDs, but they are brighter:

Use these for the hatch and dome light positions: Link

 

I'd say go with LEDS. Get at least 5000K "super white". None of that blue stuff.

 

Gotta ask: how the heck does that fit into the dome lights or hatch light?

 

The panel is flat, it is placed between the plastic lens/cover and the internal bulb holder. There is an adapter on a wire that goes into the place where the regular festoon bulb would go.

I've been there, done that with the pep boys and eBay led lights. Osram Sylvania makes an LED 194 bulb which retails for about $13 each on the shelf but they can be found cheaper online. They are called "LEDriving" and don't get hot like the cheap ones. Also they can be put in the socket both ways! Normally LEDs have polarity.

 

If you really really want brighter lights, then there is no other way than getting a set of JDM Toy's interior LED light set. They are pure white. My wife complains about it. They occasionally have it on sale on ebay for $59.

I bought a White LED kit from a seller on ebay yitamitor for about $17, very happy with the kit. They originally sent me the wrong color (bluish) which they exchanged.

Here's a pic if the difference with pure white and xenon white.

 

Big Thanks to Xliderider for the link and info. Just ordered a set. Can you advise what type of bulbs you would recommend for replacing the lights in the doors of my Prius V three? Thanks in advance. cr
