License Plate, Reverse Lights N Courtesy Lights LED's + *A few more pics*

I purchased a couple LED's on ebay to change the appearance of my TL'S.
License Plate Light: 6 LED Bulb
Reverse Light: 9 LED
Courtesy Light Single LED

I personally think all the lights turn out to be perfect, however they look better in person. Here are the pics "sorry for the crappy pics I was in a rush hehehe"








Few shots of the car







Almost done with the break-in period

Here are my pictures. I used the bulb recommendations Kennedy made in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151137

Personally, I think the results are outstanding!

Thanks KineticTypeS!

dtech: your PM box is full, so I'll reply your Q here.

The bulbs I used are from here: http://autolumination.com/194.htm

As you can see, the bulb size is 194. Order 2 SMT Tower for your reverse and 2 Supernova with heatsink for your license plate. I used superwhite for all the bulbs. My picture of the reverse light may seem a bit bluish, but it's actually just pure white in person.

As for installation tips, you just have to take the trunk mat out. It's very easy but kind of time consuming. When you install your new bulbs, you may experience some looseness. What I did was put a drop of silicon in the housing to secure the bulb. That was also recommended in the thread by Kennedy.

I hope this helps!

So, all are 194's, okay...does it matter which one I get, such as Tower II vs. Tower? Also, what about the door panel and map light?

Interiors I use WLED-WHP Pure White High Power (also 194) from here: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b....10722&next=50

I don't know the difference between Tower II and Tower. I think I just got Tower.

I'm too lazy to find the Definitive LED Thread for you. Check Post #7 for all you need on bulbs.

Burn out?

How's the life expectancy of these bulbs? Anyone have any issues with these bulbs burning out too quickly?
