I want to replace back up lights with LED bulbs would like to find some good ones that are cheaper than the ones AM has.

Tried to replace interior dome light with led but when installed they would not turn of instead would burn bright or very faint and it gave a security system malfunction warning any ideas what going on.

Do far no problems with the led I installed in trunk light and licens plate

2nd pic is with oem on left and LED on right
They look good. When looking at the difference, they are much brighter but my problem with Led's is that their coverage isn't better then incandescent. It's harder to see the area Led illuminates over the incandescent. I had Cree LED's as backups on my F150. They were brighter but when looking through my backup camera on my truck, I could barely tell they were on.

Ok, so Im looking for SMD LEDs... 12v? Seeing a lot of 194 & 168...is that what I want? Do the map light, lp light & trunk light all use the same bulb?

I got LED ones from a member off another forum. They have way more than 13 on them. IIRC they have 36 SMD on them(8 each side, 4 on end). And they light up the whole yard and the yard behind me when I back into the driveway. I really wanted it due to my windows being tinted.

A simple rule to think about: if you buy cheap, you get cheap, and this will cost you more than if you just bought the good (and more expensive) in the first place.

So then are all the lights the same type of LED? (i.e. licenses plate, reverse, side marker, trunk light, etc.)
