I am curious how they'd be with the clear lenses... Hmmm...
Just ordered these. Got to try it out, and see what they look like. I’ll install them as-is first. Not sure if I’m going to polish the puddle lamp lenses yet. [emoji106]

Sam... It's really easy to get them clear.... ...If you choose to do it.
Yep, should be cake. Just want to see how bright those suckers are before I go making them brighter. [emoji16][emoji106]

I also put them in the middle and rear domes.

Nice. I haven’t changed any interior bulbs to LEDs yet. Not sure if I will. I like them really bright outside, but not glaring bright inside. May do a red theme eventually, as my paint is “Metallic Red Fire”.

So mine has a glitch with the interior lights that I found ONE reference to by somebody, but never an answer/fix, and I actually kind of like it. When I unlock with the fob, they come ON! When I use the buttons for the map lights, they come on half bright. If I open my visor mirror, they go full. Two level lighting ftw. Lol

Forgot to follow up on this thread. I added the LEDs that @HighHoeSilver linked, and also polished the lenses. Didn’t go crazy with getting every little scratch out, but still a big difference. Very happy with the results. Not the best pics, but you can get the idea..

Sam, get a 4" buffer wheel that attaches to a drill, & rubbing compound, it will clear up in about 10 easy minutes.

I also ordered today, the LED bulbs that HiHoSilver recommends. ( Amazon in a week, but usually I get Amazon stuff in 3 days / still free)

Yeah, just used the dremel. They’re fine for me. I’m not looking for anything more than that. Lol.
