I got all polarg bulbs in my interior. polarg vanity mirrors, footwell lights, dome lights. All of them are working really well. none have burnt out and looks good.

so im assuming the license plate lights are the ones that normally burn out then? the footwell lights look pretty sick but those only turn on when doors are open? would be nice to have them always on.

license plate ones are the ones that burn out because they use 10w bulbs and stock is 5w, which results in melting the housing.

however, dome lights and footwell lights are fine because they are 5w and use the same wattage as stock.

footwell lights only turn on when the door is open.

Im running Ziza license plate LED bulbs and they looks sick

Yeah, I tried the Polarg's back in the day when this thread was created. They did end up melting my one license plate bulb housing and burnt out as well.

I found that the 168/194 blue coated bulbs at AutoZone/stores similar to that provide about the same color light as the Polarg's, and you don't have to pay the outrageous S/H.
