Btw, I finally installed mine on my '13. The problem was how the base was designed. The bulbs didn't go deep enough to actually hit the contacts. 5 minutes with a Drexel fixed that. Unfortunately they hyperflashed. To get around that I combined the contacts from the amber and white clusters, and no more hyperflash. The orange is dimmer and there are less in the cluster, so you don't even see them.
Keep in mind that on a '13 there is no "dim" parking lamp, the LED strips provide that, so this is literally only on when the turn signals are on.

So folks, for vleds, is it true that the part # for the dome lights and reverse lights are the same = 194?
Then the part # for the license plate lights are 6418?
I am debating what to go with for each of these... 5k or 6k. For my exterior switchbacks I went with 5k and I thought they were perfect. Thoughts?
Also I am thinking about replacing my hoen fogs to vled H11s... Prolly 5k too, to match Oem HIDs and 5k switchbacks?

If you're unsure of which bulbs to use, go to the Sylvania website and use their bulb finder. Once you figure out the style of bulb, you can shop around and find a bulb with the right brightness and color you like.
In terms of light color, the higher the temperature, the more blue/violet they become. 4300-4500K is what the OEM HIDs are typically rated at.

Did anyone with an 11-12 put these in? I just got my raxiom ones and when I put them in, they hyperflash and I lose my sequential rear lights. I've never messed with resistors but I have them. What do you guys think?

I have the V-LEDs (49.99) ones. Just make sure you order the standard base. Truly plug and play. No hyper flash, no resistors, no tail light problems. They are sweet.

Damnit. I hate buying things twice. Anyone wanna buy my raxioms? Ill sell them cheap with the resistors. I don't like wiring so that's why I won't install them.

I have the v-led ones and they are a good match for the factory HID equiped cars! they are btight and I have been flashed by some people thinking I have Highs on ! the color is about as close as you will get to the oem HID's, and the flashing is not any different than the factory bulb!
