What LED's do I order from superbrightled?

[MarlinFoundNemo]

I've decided the next thing to do to my car is the LED interior. I'm not gunna buy ECS's ripoff Ziza kit as I can get the same stuff for MUCH cheaper via superbrightled. And I'm also only looking to upgrade specific bulbs for now which are:

Glove box
Trunk
License Plate
Dome lights

My question is.. how do I know which bulbs to choose? There are at least a few options for each light, and I'm not sure which to go with.

So far I've got...

4 6418's for glove box, trunk, and license plate (https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...#/tab/Overview)

2 578's for front dome lights (not bothering with rears for now, never use em.) (https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...-44mm-car/237/)

2 BA9's for map lights (https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ofit-car/2077/)

Does this look right for what I'm going for? I'll install others later down the road, just want to do what I use most often for now. Thanks!

I only did lp lights, since I never use any interior lights. I also used 6418. However, the bulbs I got had a built in heatsink

whats the purpose of a heatsink on it? They dont get that hot do they?

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...6mm/3136/6744/ I think I'll do these instead, as they have a heatsink too.

Those are the ones I got. The plate lights I had on my a4 (similar to the first ones you posted) got surprisingly hot. I opted for the latter when I replaced them in my s4

Much cheaper through that site than the ECS ripoff too :)

Bump for a question. I'm looking to upgrade my fogs to LED's.. Will these work?? https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...wer/1583/3660/

Those bulbs will fit, yet. But their light output is nowhere near what you'd want for functional fog lights unless you're interested more in looks.

Yeah that was my other question.. I take it HID fogs would be the way to go then?

[88ninety9]

Yeah, not worth the ~$30 imo. You could retrofit projectors from a mk2 (?) Jetta foglight and run hid. That's a future plan for me, once I pony up the cash to buy a 6mt sedan. There's one for cheap locally

DO NOT run hid in your halogen housing, it's unsafe to oncoming traffic and as civic-ricer-boy as it gets

The last thing I want is rice so I wont be doing that then haha, where to find jetta foglights though?

We have euro specific junkyards here, I'm sure there's a few floating around over your way. That'd be my first stop
