I second this, I have been wanting to but some under-dash lights up, but I have seen some crappy jobs before. Yours look great and I would love some advice so I don't screw it up

Another quick question... I'm about to order some lights for my interior, trunk, and license plate. I'm planning on buying 2 of the 3022s, 1 3610 for the trunk, and 1 WLED for the license plate... Any other lights that I might need?

1. On the 3022s, what brightness have you guys used... I was thinking either the 9 LED version or the 4 high power LED version, any recommendation?

2. On the WLED light I was thinking about going with the 360degree 9 LED high power light. Think that's bright enough?

3. Finally, as far as I can tell the interior and trunk lights have covers that just snap off. Any idea how to replace the license plate lights?

Dont mean to sound retarded, but.....the 3022's are the part number? or the type of light on superbrightleds.com?

I have installed a couple different kinds for interior and license. Right now I have Green 9 LED 3022's festoons in the interior and trunk. For the license plates I have the WLED 6 (#194/168). The license plate covers do just snap out and you will see how the lights are replaced quite easily once you get them out.... very simple.

I had blue for a few weeks before I switched to green and didn't have a problem. I can't recall having a cop on my ass though, so who knows.

Well, if your gonna have stuff on you "hypothetically", I wouldn't change your lights at all and give them ANY reason to pull you over. I travel light these days so I don't worry anymore

I would just check for the laws in your state/province. For example, I live in Mississippi and we aren't allowed to have any blue lighting at all. Red lighting is ok as long as it's not on the front of the vehicle.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got my lights in from superbrightleds.com in today and I can't recommend them highly enough. Very affordable shipping and super quick. I ordered on Friday and got them Monday, pretty hard to beat that!

Overall, I like the lighting however, with the frosted case in the trunk, the trunk light looks a tad bit dim. I might try to upgrade to the brighter light they sell. Interior looks nice and bright, but I still would like to see how it would look with either the 4 or 6 LED high power vs the 9 LED normal I have now
