Review: Sylvania/Osram LEDriving lights
I replaced all of the 194 bulbs in my car and 2825 bulbs in my map lights with these Sylvania LEDs. I must say that I am happy with the color and brightness.
$10 a pop but its worth it! I replaced front and rear map lights, door lights, and the plate lights. Awesome!!!

Looking good! It's exciting to see how quickly LED lights have become available at the retail level- we were ordering off the Web 5 years ago and now you can buy them at a auto parts store. That was my first real upgrade and the lights are still going strong 6 years later.

I had to take a 2nd look to catch much of any blue at all.

ok sounds good then I would be interested in picking some up. Only thing im still confused about is in your second post you said you got them from autozone, then several posts later you said you think their special order. So which is it, did you have to order them or did you buy them off the shelf? I went to one local autozone and they did not have them on the shelf, but im gonna try a different one here in a little bit since I have to run out anyway,

No need to answer my above question. I stopped by one of the other Autozones near by and they had a few of them. I bought two and no kidding I am VERY impressed with these bulbs. Im not the type of guy that wants crazy blue lights everywhere that are insanely bright, I want the closest possible match to a car that comes with LED lighting from the factory. Well these bulbs do it! The color is exact and is pure white with no hint of blue. The only thing I did just to tone the lights down a tad was place a small round piece of electrical tape at the end of the bulb lens just to bring the brightness down a hair. They are perfect!! So now comes the task of tracking down a bunch more. I guess I will start calling a few more stores.
Thanks for this writeup, these bulbs are perfect and I love how they have the frosted lens instead of most aftermarket LED bulbs that have exposed LED's.
