  • Interior LED lighting

    I am thinking about changing all my interior lights to led, is there anything to look for or stay away from? I know all the sizes for my Jetta and all bulbs can be had for $1 a piece from China where as most of the kits are 50+ for the 10 bulbs needed.

    I'd just get the 42dd design ones to be honest. I've had those ebay ones before and they are very cheaply made (duh). Most will break when you push them into the housing. I am sure that you can find better quality ones on ebay though.

      Bought a set fromwww.krauto.com for the avant and they seemed good (and inexpensive). Guy was super nice to deal with as well!

          the kit look nice but $50 is pretty steep for a kit that was probably put together from Chinese products.

            just make sure they are dimmable LED's, as most the eBay ones aren't.

                  is it worth it? be default i have my interior lights set to not turn on even since i always park in garages (well 98%) of the time.

                        when I worked in the electrical wholesale industry a few years back, we ordered all of our LED's from superbrightleds.com, no major complaints, decent product with good pricing.

                          I have the krauto ones as well... definitely the cheapest package deal I could find.
