So my license plate lights went out and I like to wait for these times to do upgrades, when things go bad. In the process, I realized there hasnt been much discussion of other bulbs besides headlights. Can anyone share their feedback on bulbs they used successfully and possibly images. This applies to dome lights, LICENSE PLATE lights, tail lights (bulbs not the lenses) and anything else in/outside the car.

1) What has been reliable for you?
2) What has been best for you? (brightest is not always the best in every place)

Just finished the interior lights, Vanity, License plate, and Puddle lights using LEDPartsNow bulbs purchased from Amazon. Pretty simple, just have to be careful removing the lens covers. I love the way they look, so much more bright, and match the LED's on the DVD Player that came on the truck. Durability? Time will tell, however they are high quality LED's with great reviews unlike the ebay products. Im not planning on going much further, possibly the reverse lamps

bought these t10 a year ago for license plate lights, there still going strong, they will also work for puddle lights

got these also at the same time and they are also still going strong, you will need resistors to prevent hyperflash, they are unique aluminum body they have had lots of hours on them with no issue.

interior lights I choose have had to have some replaced which is pretty common for almost any brand led so I always just buy extra's to have some on hand

Wow! ~$20 for all the accessory lights is a killer deal. Bonus that the lights look like they have pretty good output. I updated the interior lights on our PPV, but was not impressed with the output, and spent a lot more on the set.

Even then, at least we were switching to lights that had a lower heat output, so there was that. I might have to try this set out.

I haven’t replaced an interior bulb yet, only my one tag light is out from that set

License plate LED's blew in 6 months. Put Incandescent bulbs back in. Need to find better quality for exterior LED's

I use LEDs sold by JDM Astar throughout my truck. I did have a couple of failures, but JDM Astar replaced them free of charge, within their 1 year warranty period. I've had no issues with any of the interior LEDs or license plate LEDs.
