Overpriced does not mean quality! Its not an essential part that will effect the car on the long run! So I'm willing to give it a try and see how long this thig will last! For 1/5 of the price its

Did you add resistors to these? Anyone know which ones would work on the dome lights inside?

The dome lights are the same as the 05-09 models.

Thanks for the link dude! I ordered some and i'm impressed. Bulbs were cheap but they are about 1/4 inch longer than the ones that come stock so you kind have to play with them in order for them to fit just right. Be careful putting the housing back in.... I didnt have it lined up correctly and broke a prong. For the price of these i think they look just as good or better than raxiom!

Forgot to mention, worked only when position + side towards passenger side on both sides...

Looks pretty nice. I generally don't worry about illuminating my tag too much. I have driven for over a year before with the tag lights burned out. The plates are so reflective here, that they practically glow when headlights hit them anyhow, so you can't really notice whether the lights are working or not. I'm not going to go out of my way making sure its visible to a red-light camera or whatever!
