My V-LEDS vanity lamps arrived today and they are installed. OMG, the light output is fantastic. At least I will now have one mod that the wife won't say was a waste of money. Honestly, I urge everyone to make this one cheap change. Thanks for the link to the correct lamps to use!

Two ideas to check. First open and close the mirror cover several times amd see if the voltage changes and are you taking your voltage reading with the lamp installed? Second check the dimmer control on the dash and make sure it is full bright but without the interior lights manually turned on and take another reading....also take a voltage reading at another location in the vehicle just so you have a good base reading. Keep us informed.

on ebay. search "Smd LED 212" and get 6 of them. 2 for front, 2 for 2nd row, 2 for cargo. make sure you get some from a US seller. good luck!

I did the reading with the bulbs off and the mirror door open. I also re-installed the stock ones and noticeably dimmer too. Dim switch is off.
