I called DDM to trouble shoot and they had no clue what was wrong and tried to sell me code eliminators that I was previously sold that aren't even needed for the application. I then took to a shop and had the wiring checked. It was done perfectly. Called DDM back, they said if I would remove my kit, andpay postage both ways to ship my entire kit to them they would test each componant for a separate fee. One fee for failed parts and a higher fee if the part passed the testing. Then I would need to repurchuse any bad parts. I was already at around $165 for their kits and,the other bullsh!t they sold me that I didn't need Oh and no refund for the extra crap. Pulled their trash off, put my weak, yellow stockers back in and never looked back... Buncha crooks selling Chinese trash.

Wouldnt believe it either. Once bought such a kit and LEDs gave virtually no light at all (they were simply different wavelenght to normal lightbulbs). Also apart from a slight glitch, that some bulbs did not even fit:-(

Anyway as of 2013 there should be LED interior as standard, so why not wait a bit and than buy a stock parts...?

these led's have a solid-state look to em that is the latest (i guess) in led technology. there is no bulb per se. they have original style bases and fit the stock locations perfectly.the factory bulbs have a yellowish tint to them,whereas these have a "daylight" bright white cast. i bought the interior kit @ $49 but could'nt use the other bulbs in the kit because of my sport pkg i guess. i only have the sound bar and rear rollbar lights in my JKU sport. so no need for the map lights,glove compartment or footwell lights. it was a bit much maybe you can get individual bulbs from the seller instead of 9 bulbs that you cant use.

Which is why I find it amazing that ANY LED isn't better than stock filaments.

My red ones seem to be better than stock so I would assume the cool white would be much better I know my license plate is 100 times better

Here's another option for interior led lighting. You do have to manually turn these on. I have two of these, one on the passenger side and drivers side up front and love them. The other great part is that they easily remove from the rollbar strap so you can take them with you to use as a flashlight. They also have a magnetic strip on the back for them and can be stuck to any metal. I used them just a couple nights ago when working under the hood.
