Thanks! I am happy with how they look, I know its always tough to tell what a light bulb looks like in a picture.

There are much cheaper available, but these ones tend to get good reviews with minimal DOA unlike the ones sold in bulk packs.

Domestic rice = corn?

I read this whole build thread the other day. I like how you approach mods and your attention to detail. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, I appreciate the words!

I did some LED's in my Lexus, but the driving bulbs in the headlights keep going out. Also one in the drivers side foot well. Also it feels like they get really hot and can almost smell the heat in the interior. I'm wondering if I ought to get rid of them and go back to normal bulbs. I guess it makes sense that if the LED bulbs have a much lower resistance, that a lot more current is going through there and things maybe are getting a lot hotter. Is it a bad idea in general to put LED's in spots where regular bulbs were meant to go.

I don't know about Japanese or American cars, but literally thousands of people have changed all of their interior bulbs to LEDs on all of the BMW sites. I haven't seen any complaints about them, or hearing people complain about them running hot or burning out sockets.

I swapped my bulbs to LEDs in the BMW, and the difference is amazing.

It's pretty common for the C7 guys to swap the trunk and license plate bulbs to LED. I've seen a few guys complain about them running hot, burning out, and/or flickering, but it mainly seems to be the guys buying the generic multi-packs vs. the more expensive bulbs. From my limited research, the $5+/each bulbs are the ones that tend to be of higher quality, while the "20 for $10" type deals typically are not, with the mentioned issues and DOA.
