Super Bright LEDs

So I found this website looking for LEDs for all the interior lights. Right now I'm using some Ebay "CANBUS" LEDs that don't do what they say. I was wondering if anyone has used the LEDs from this website and can vouch for them. I don't wanna spend 60+ dollars on LEDs and have them not work well like my current ones.

My vote goes for HPB ones from TopGearSolutions too. Solid set and look amazing at night.

Got them in! Super impressed. Quick question though. Sometimes only with the engine running the front some light kicks off and won't come on until I kill the engine and pull the key. Anyone know how to fix this?

It may be an issue with the socket. Mine does this intermittently too, but I rarely if ever use my map lights (because who the hell uses maps anymore) so I never bothered fixing it. It's a cheap part if you're interested in fixing it. You'll need part #63258389736 and it runs for around $10.

Me personally, if I need the light, I just switch on the dome lights which is pretty much the equivalent of having the power of the sun inside the car.

Occasionally the dome light gives people problems. Is it one of those "LED panels"?

Depending on your year, the dome can be finicky with those multi LED lights.

I had a similar issue with the LED panel one in their super bright kit, and I ended up getting a "peanut" bulb from them and was fine ever since.

It seems like it's fixed. I used my Schwaben scanner tool and cleared the code and it's working fine

Just for transperency, you have the "Max output Kit". Super Bright LED is a website that sells LED's.

We'd love you to try the HPB Kit if you have the means.

Sorry Jeff, that's right. The max output kit from HPB. The convertibles are screwy anyway, so there's that too LOL
