I have some from HID powerhouse (internals and plates) and backups and turns from Precision LED. Everything is great for me.

I have DRL's, reverse, plate, and interior LED from HID Powerhouse. They all work great. The only gripes (which are minor) I have is that LED's so no do good for DRL's, and the 15 smd LED panel for the map/dome light gets a bit hot and I can't get it to stay in the middle of the light assembly.

I have the 12 LED panel and I stuck it to the flat area that's on the back of the dome light housing. (Closer to the back of the car) It hasn't moved and stays perfectly in the middle!

I can vouch for the LEDs I got from HID Powerhouse as well, great product!

Got my bulbs from Kenneth at HID_Powerhouse. Haven't had a single problem with brightness or reliability.

More props to Kenneth. Hooked me up with the Frs package a while back. The license plate bulb went out and I contacted him and he took care of me. So much so I decided to upgrade from the cheap led to their new Flashbolt5, man that thing is extremely bright for rear turn signal. And yes I was disappointed that the old led was not as bright as the fb5.

What was the intensity on the interior led you bought? I've been meaning to upgrade the stock ones, but I'm afraid they would be so hot it'd melt the plastic covers (ie. Map light).

Got my setup from True Street Industries, only had problems with 1 ballast and that was replaced free of charge, best customer service experience I've ever dealt with!

My interior dome light is from powerhouse, 15 chip I think.. I can say, you don't want to turn it on in the middle of night while driving.. It's blinding.. Any other time I love it.. Getting in and out the car at night it really shines.. But driving and flipping it on, you better be ready for your eyes to adjust for a bit

LED panels do heat up but it is perfectly fine to let it rest on the plastic lens cover and you will not have any melting or overheating issues.

We have LED interior upgrades from 6 LED (mild upgrade from OEM), 9 LED, 12 LED and 15 LED (max brightness). It all depends on your personal preference and how bright you would like your interior to be

I bought some LED Running lights from iJDMTDY to replace my running/hi beams and i had to remove the LED due to light loss at night. I live in a rural area and they looked pretty but were not good for driving.
