Unfortunately not an option for me. The LEDS melted along with part of the plastic bulb holders they were in. LEDS were destroyed. I emailed V-leds and hope to get a response. I didn't really understand what you meant by pushing them in is as far. Seems like I pushed them in until they "clicked" into place. Did you pull them back out some?

I also sent an email and am awaiting a response, but I don't think I want to use these same bulbs again. I don't know much about electricity, but these leds don't seem to be the right ones for this application. I'm talking smoke and melted housings and completely black melted LEDS. And that was with the fuse breaking.

When my blubs clicked thats when the fuse blew. If i just pushed them in until they lit they are fine.

Yep. Plenty have people have ordered. I have a 2007 Screw, and I also lack a rail system due to a moonroof.

The Dome Light I purchased isn't available through them right now. It was the 20 LED version.
Here is an option for the dome light a few people have purchased. It has HP bulbs, so it should be pretty bright. All of my exterior LEDs are HP bulbs, and they put out some light.

This might be a dumb question. But what the hell are puddle lights?

They are lights on the bottom of the mirrors that light up the ground beside the door. They help you see if you were stepping into a puddle I guess. I upgraded my mirrors to the towing mirrors, which have this feature.

Looks pretty cool. From the video it seems theres a little bit of a delay when switching from white to amber and back again, but still, pretty cool.

No problem. They won't look the same in yours though, my side markers are smoked/blacked out.

I'll have a pic up later tonight when it gets dark.
