Ok, pretty happy with these bulbs. The color warmth is just about perfect, so they are not annoyingly blue. But also not too yellow/orange. Brightness is more than enough for the purpose, but not so bright as to be painful if behind a stock diffuser. And so far no random blinking. And I haven't noticed any 'bulb-out' messages in my car yet. Still too early to say out long they will last, but at this price I would be happy if they just lasted 1 year. And the fit was totally fine. I used these for interior lighting and for the license plate illumination. It's perfect for trunk or rear seat lighting. And is a bit overkill for the license plate purpose, especially if your car uses too bulbs. But at least every cop that follows me will be able to read my plate super easy! (and it lights up the road behind me a little bit as a bonus.

These are exactly what I wanted. The incandescent glow in a bright LED. I got the Warm White. I was using white LEDs but it doesn’t feel right in an older Jeep. I included a pic. The speedometer is the old bright white LED and the fuel gauge is the better Alopee Warm White. I’ll update on longevity.

I just installed these and I am very happy with them! I can't speak to their longevity because I've had them in for about 10 minutes, but I'm very pleased with everything else. I needed a bulb that matched my three requirements: color temperature (3000K), very bright, and most importantly needed to work with car's electronics. I actually tried several other bulbs before, but I could never get a bulb that worked within my requirements. I don't understand how it works, but some bulbs messed with my car's key fob. Maybe it was some signal interference, but I don't know. I heard that some cars require CAN bus bulbs (controller area network bus). I don't know if these are CAN bus bulbs, but they work in a system that requires them. Plus these bulbs were actually the right color temperature, not that super white color that everyone sells. And they are super bright!

A perfect substitute for incendescent bulbs without destroying the classic look. Lost of light with little heat to melt surrounding plastic.

These T-3+1/4 wedge base LED lamps have brightened my car. The original #192 incandescent lamps had left the map lights dim and directional: useful, but requiring special positioning of documents "where the light was" for good viewing. These LED lamps provide both brightness and spread (flood), rendering everything in my car's forward cabin well lit. Just one of these outperforms even the car's dome light, and two of these simply put the dome light TO SHAME. The color is simply white: neither the tan of "soft white" nor the sometimes blue of "cool white" or "daylight". That suits me well, as I dislike either extreme. These are dimmable, though they behave a bit differently than incandescents. These get rather dim by about 9 V and drop out at about 7.5 V. A #192 incandescent, on the other had, still shines somewhat at 7.5 V. In my car, the difference seems minor to moderate: these dim noticeably and then extinguish from a somewhat brighter level than the incandescents. Conveniently, the "nonpolarized" claim is true. Plug the LED lamp in any way you like. If it fits and you've got a 12 V electrical system, it works. Some hints are required. CAUTION: Do NOT use these for side marker, license plate, nor similar exterior lighting unless you can determine the result is similar to your vehicle's original incandescent lamps. Why not? Federal motor vehicle regulations. U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 ss571.108 (overly intricately Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter V, Part 571, Subpart B, ss571.108) specifies lighting intensities, to promote safety. Sure, you likely won't get a ticket, but go ahead and do the right thing. While these have a T-1+3/4 (OK, T10 metric) wedge base, they exceed the overall size of T-1+3/4 lamp and so simply will not fit in some applications. So, check for space. The body reaches 15/32" wide (about 12 mm) and the total length is 1+3/32" (about 28 mm) with a "bulb portion" length of 0.8" (about 20.5 mm). Contact issues may prove easily resolvable. Just bend each wire so it runs diagonally from right next to the center ridge out to the edge of the base. That's it! One of my car's map light "sockets" (not: just pairs of folded sheet metal contraptions with each pair intended to somehow have its contacts remain parallel) gave contact trouble even with the original incandescent lamp (cured by depriving the "socket" of power and judiciously applying needle-nose pliers). Both "sockets" eventually gave contact trouble with these LED lamps, _until_ I reshaped the LED lamps' contact wires as described above. Presto! Reliable contact and uninterrupted luminous convenience.

great improvement to original lamps

Bought 4pk little over 2yrs ago. Replaced both license plates bulbs upon receiving. Had to again replace one of the bulbs 18 months later. Today, replaced the other. So used all 4 led bulbs within 2.5yrs. Expect 1.5yrs per bulb. Not 50,000hrs as advertised.

These fit our 2008 trailer for a burned out outside bulb and updated 2 lights inside the trailer to led bulbs. Very happy for the updates and the lower energy used. Yes they are little brighter than what we replaced and still the soft light
