LED’s Etc
Still waiting for my BRZ ordered early October.
Will be upgrading lighting to LED’s. Does anyone have a list of LED replacements for… Dome Door Trunk Visor lights Back-up lights License plate Suggestions for protective front bottom seat covers? Was looking at “USA Seamstress Premium Neoprene Bottom Seat Cover” from Amazon. How can I protect center console from scratches? Some type of clear matte vinyl wrap? Thanks! |

The second link is for the Visor lights, but I have not confirmed if they fit. I will once they arrive, and I install them. I think the license plate has LEDs as stock. The Back-up lights are bulbs and not LEDs but I am not sure what is needed to replace them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VS52KCG...v_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081DJY4C7...lig_dp_it&th=1 |

After tons of different LED bulbs in multiple different vehicles, I have found that they are not very reliable or long lasting. I see it constantly on the road too, license plate bulbs upgraded to LED that looked great at install, but are just barely flickering now. Too cheap of a bulb? Maybe. Or maybe the -30C winters we get every year have caused some issues? But ultimately I turned away from LED's in my cars because I never found any that were 100% reliable and long lasting. My current Mazda 3 has no LED bulb upgrades and with 5 years and 100,000km on it, not one has burnt out or started flickering. LED's are meant to surpass the life expectancy of standard bulbs but for automotive, that has not been my experience.

Buying these T15 bulbs to replace the reverse lights, they should work.
