Led dome, reverse and trunk - huge difference - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I tried diode Dynamics but was having no luck with the website so I just grabbed these from Amazon because I was in a rush and they were cheap.
They were $7.99 yesterday but like most Amazon products they are up and down, today at $9.99. Still a great deal. The 5050 48SMD is the one I got and it is two of them.
The dome one just sits up there squised against the light cover. It may move and I'll come up with something but it's pretty tight in there and I think it will be fine. The trunk one I did mount with the included double sided tape. Easy 5 minute mod.

Dome and Trunk: https://www.amazon.com/Cutequeen-Tra...+pc+white+5050

I didn't get a before on the dome light because I thought it would just be a bit brighter and more white than yellow. It was much brighter and nice cool white too. I got the trunk before and after to show the difference though. Pics were taken in pitch black garage. Reverse lights are stupid bright and look like headlights now!

Also did the license plate lights but it just changed from yellow to white, not much brighter but, that's OK...
the only people looking at the plate are the police

For all those lights, it was under $25 and I have two of the T10 plate ones left over.

Super happy with all the results.

Here are some DIY on how to change the door lights. Make sure you remove the light assembly from the harness if you dont you will blow your BCU causing malfunctions to all your other lights.

Wow what an amazing difference the linked LED reverse lights make. I back up into a single wide driveway and it was very difficult to see it. Put these lights in and I can clearly see back there.
