I ordered This package of 10 bulbs in 194 size.
My reactions are a bit mixed. On one hand, they ARE a bit brighter than stock, but the big color change is something I haven’t got used to yet. I have a gray interior and I’m just so used to the yellow incandescent bulbs. These leds are listed as 6,000k xenon white. They are definitely on the cooler side of white. I think this is one area where I would prefer some leds in a NW color temp. Something in between the stock warm and these very cool white. Just like with led headlights, your not gonna find these in NW tints. Maybe I can find a tinted film to add? Idk. Maybe in time I’ll get used to it.
Edit: In some other brands I see they offer warm white led bulbs in 194. Maybe if I keep looking I can find a NW.
Update
Let me update my opinion of these bulbs. They are a LOT brighter than stock. Now that I’ve gotten out of my driveway and are using them in normal situations, I’m surprised everytime time I open my door. It’s like a blast of light. Lol. Its very easy to tell they are much brighter than incandescent bulbs.
The color is also fine. I’m starting to get used to the new color. Before I would have given these a 4 out of 5 star rating, but now I’d say they are 5 out of 5. :+1:
I didn’t take any pictures, but I did go through all 450 reviews and snatched up some pictures that I felt are really representative and show the differences well. You can see they are a bit brighter than incandescent. Not a whole lot brighter, but a bit more.
These bulbs use 3 leds each and the mounting arrangement seems to give pretty good coverage. The base is a bit thicker than a 194, so you have to push it in a bit harder. The overall size is a good match for 194’s so they will fit just about anywhere a 194 fits. They are not polarity sensitive so you can just stick them in and they work. I don’t know if they are “error free” as my car is older and doesn’t monitor that stuff.
90% of the low star reviews are from people using the online compatibility software instead of actually looking at what size bulbs they need then complaining they don’t fit. You can’t fault the bulbs for that. So make sure you get the size you need.
Overall they are a great value at 10 bulbs for $13. I’m not sure about the shipping costs as I got them as an Amazon Prime member and got shipping for free.
