Led Lighting
If another group buy is in the works; I would like to get in on it.

FYI- The 'dimming' feature when the door in open is just more resistance in current. There are about 4 connections (plugs) between the door switch and the bulb, plus extra wire length (possibly even a smaller gauge wire used?), and then the extra factor that the door switch used to connect ground to complete the circuit is spring loaded with a rather weak spring. You can actually make it a little brighter in 'dim' mode by taking the switch apart and putting some fresh dielectric grease in it and if you get real creative, add a stronger spring, but the other said factors are still causing enough resistance to make the light dimmer when using the door switch circuit. So its not really a feature built into the car, but rather a design flaw which is often over-looked. Its present on most cars.

Yeah... I replaced the dome light, trunk, and license plate. It's been almost 1 1/2 years now and it still going strong.
Same here. Have not had any issues over the last 1.5 years
I ordered Two of the 9 LED ones, and two of the Xenon bulbs. Going to test them out when I get back home, and see which I like better. I won't be home for 3-4 months though, so.....
