Re: [DML] Rage Against the LEDs

[Rod Dillman <rhdillman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Christian my experience with LEDs in the AC panel has been the opposite of yours. I bought 4 Ba7 super white inverted bulbs($3.99 each) and 3 Ba7 red inverted bulbs($2.99  each) on line at www.autolumination.com. Click on to "Other automotive LED bulbs". I used the red bulbs for the lock door, defrost and fan fail and the super whites for the other spaces. I am very satisfied with the results. The only difference in the AC panel that I can tell is the absence of heat. If you used the same bulbs as I, maybe the AC panels are somehow different in our cars. Rod 10921

...I found myself impressed by LED door lights. I thought that they'd be
too pointed and direct, but they looked great. After a post earlier this
week on the source of the LEDs, I purchased the 6 lights for the doors and
a set of lights for behind the AC panel as a couple of my lights had gone
out.

I bought the white ones for the AC panel and I've got to say, they look
terrible. Not even just terrible, but dim and purple. I really can't go on
and on enough about what a waste of time it was to install them. So
please, don't believe the hype - just stick with the bulbs that have
worked for us for 20+ years.

If anybody wants 'em, just send me your address and I'll mail them out.
