Got my dome LEDs in today and they are not very bright. Any suggestion? I have moved them around and check to see if they are right . Them work just my factory seems to be brighter.

I was going to use T10 Wedge Base Bulb for my side markers, but they don't fit since my oem bulbs melted/bubbled the plastic and I'm to lazy to fix that.... I plugged them in just to see how they look...

Does anyone know the bulb number for the little green "mood lighting" light?

The one that has the soft green glow at night. I wanna switch it to red like my old GTI had.

Also, how many of each bulb do you need to buy?
Call me a noob but I'm unfamiliar with the intricacies of my truck still.

I'm not sure whats going on. I ordered all the same. In my truck, the map lights do not hold those bulbs. They are lose in the socket. I can get them to come on but once I hit a bump in the road they wiggle lose. Those bulds fit in glove box and plate lights but not in my map lights. Anyone have any idea why or what I can do to ge them to fit?

Do these come in colors?

retro? map? you mean the dome light? If the dome you have to face it outward. Mine is bright. Its like daylight at night inside the truck.
