Some LED Love (Lots of Pictures)
Love the LEDs. They really freshen up the interior. Bulbs are yucky. 
From my experience (And I've detailed way too many cars...) Lexol leather cleaner and the back side of a sponge (make sure its not too rough, but you want something with an abrasive surface, otherwise you'll just smear it around) do an amazing job of removing grease and grime from leather, restoring the natural matte finish. Work it into the leather and build up a foamy lather. Clean it up with warm water and a rag. I skip the leather conditioner- it just makes things greasy and doesn't really condition the leather as automotive leather is coated. I use a wet warm rag for my "conditioner". I do follow up with 303 Aerospace now and then just for added protection. But don't expect it to last more than a couple of days.
So my point is, clean up the seats first and you will likely see a difference. I follow this procedure about once every month or two. The ass prints usually go away after a thorough cleaning. The cleaning makes the leather contract somewhat after its dried. Oh and FWIW, your car will smell like new car/leather if its regularly cleaned. Especially on warm days...that leather smell=

Thanks for the tip about the sponge - I use Lexol cleaner with an MF cloth, and it's hard to get it sudsy, and there's rarely a significant cosmetic difference.
How does 303 affect the leather surface? Any shinier/slipperier?

im getting little confused. one quantity is one pair. does it mean if I buy one pair for door light, they covers two doors? so i just need buy 2 quantities for all 4 doors? same questions to rear dome and front dome.

My eyes didn't even bother looking at the ground when I open my doors with the stock bulbs lol.

Seems like the front dome lights are still in stock, just not the back dome and door lights.

I need to get Lexol cleaner now and follow your "guide"!
You buy 1 quantity, that's good for both doors.
You buy 2 quantities, that's good for both doors AND the rear domes.
There are no lights on the rear doors, by the way.
CONCLUSION:
On this page: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481039.html
(They're out of stock right now, though)
Where it says "Quantity:" change the 1 to 2.
Then add to cart.
Done.
Cheers!

The 303 doesn't add much shine, but it just gives the leather a deeper look and protects them somewhat for a short time. It does tend to make the seats slippery as hell though...
Yes, every quantity comes with 2 bulbs!

Anyway, got mine installed today and they look nice. They still dim, too which I was worried that they wouldn't. Now just gotta wait for the last 2 PAIRs to come and I'm all done.
That's what I did when I replaced my rear dome. I'm sure it's the same for the rest of the bulb covers, except maybe the rear license plate. Owner's manual should have instructions.
The 10off20 still works... Just ordered the following;
1 set for License plate: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p6691894.html
3 sets for Front Dome, Vanity, and Trunk: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p5168709.html
2 sets for Rear Dome and Doors: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481039.html
1 set for Glove Box and Center console: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...-p6941708.html
Shipped to my door for $58.64... Not a bad deal.

These don't fit in the center console and my 05' doesn't have a bulb in the glove box...

I overpaid for LEDs from VLEDS, plus they weren't that bright at all.
I recommend people getting LED boards from ebay.

So what is the latest consensus on LED License Plate lights? Search brings up too many options to know which is best. I see a lot of people using the towers but I would think Flank would be best due to the downward angle?
Sorry for the really old bump but I didn't want to make a new thread, and I can't seem to find the right info. All of the links to vleds are dead. Can anyone just provide a short description to what bulb goes to where? I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between the bulbs on their site.

All main interior bulbs (2 front dome lights, 1 door light each side, 2 rear dome lights) are 194/168/158/T10 wedge bulbs
Which leads you to here:
For 5k (pure white)
http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...white-led.html
For 6k (white with hint of blue)
http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...white-led.html
LED technology has evolved a lot since 2010/2011, so you probably can't find the bulbs I used.
Any of their new LEDs should be plenty brighter than the LEDs I had from them 2 years ago.

picking a full set (8 bulbs) of these up to replace my
superbrightLEDs.com bulbs.
I wanted something brighter and these look like they will do it.

than what i have now.
