Looks like most people have converted to HP5's. Personally I'm on my second set of HP3's, kinda worried the HP5's will be too bright for my taste.

I had the same thought when I converted, but honestly I'm happy with them.

I use VLEDS bulbs instead of DD, and I've been using them for 13+ years. 13+ years ago, yes, bulbs would start to flicker and go out all the time. Their modern bulbs don't seem to ever fail (occasionally you'll get a bad bulb out of the box, but if they work out the box they're good for the life of the car). That includes their high end Triton bulbs (which I ran 5 sets of for 5+ years on my RX-8) and Micro headlight bulbs. Their LEDs are also color matched across all bulb types, so if you get 6000K headlights, Triton DRLs and 194 parking lights, they will all match. Highly recommend them. My '17 is all LED from the factory, so they aren't getting much business from me now, but here are the few I am running:

My side signal bulb (previously side marker): http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...26-ho-hva.html

My plate bulb: http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...194-14-ll.html

Reverse: http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...21-6-ho-c.html

Dome: http://www.vleds.com/shop-applicatio...5-24-ll-c.html

Footwells: http://www.vleds.com/shop-products/a.../pcb-14-c.html

This old RX-8 pic shows a Triton for DRL/signal (converted from single function turn signal), LED low beam projector (micro, converted from HID), LED high beam, LED parking light, and LED foglight (micro). You pre-17 models could use some of those goodies.

I had one dome light go out with intermittent blinking and shutting off after a year. I replaced it because $5. Hadn’t had an issue with it or the others in years.
