Where to get LED Dome Lights
#11
Every Sylvania product I have ever purchased has been bested by something I have gotten somewhere else, and for about half the money; or lasted less than a year.
Their SilverStars, for example, are supposed to be white, or so they claimed at one point. The 9004s are yellow, and compared to other $20-$30 bulb sets I've tried, the almost $60 SilverStar Ultras are worse.
I purchased a taillight bulb once for my Dakota, couple years ago. Figured I'd give Sylvania another chance, supposed to be one of their Long Life ones. It lasted 6 months, so then I bought a GE bulb. Never had to replace it again.
Tried the SilverStar Ultras when I was debating converting my 9004s to 9007s. Yellow crap, GE's Nighthawk bulbs outperformed them.
I'm not a GE guy or anything, but their stuff at least works, and works well.

Im not good with making my own stuff, at least when it comes to electronics, I tried LEDs on my bike and got tired of all the damn resistors. I'd rather just pay for it and know it works rather then waste my time trying to save a buck.

I used to get all of my stuff from a small company on eBay called Velocity LEDs. I do not know if they exist any longer, a search for them turned up nothing. I believe V-LEDs might be the same company renamed/different user name, as I have also purchased stuff from them, and it turned out well.

Resistors aren't complicated in the least. Go get 4 high intensity LED's from Radiocrack that are in the 3V range, then connect each one to a 1/2watt 470ohm resistor (yellow, violet, brown) Mine cost me actually less than $9, and is very bright.

After driving to Radio shack and getting the supplies plus having to do the labor its probably just cheaper to buy the Led off ebay... I mean its alot less complicated to change the bulb then to make it.

They have dome light kits from 12.99-24.99 and seem to be pretty good quality.

I've purchased a few things from them in the past... no problems...
Good luck!

I could also probably make the Oznium things work but I want something that just replaces the OEM bulb that would easily be able to go back to stock.
I like Neons still and have blue ones in the older Accord. I know it's ricerish but I think they look good. I've thought about putting them on the interior of my truck but honestly it gets expensive fast especially for something that doesn't often get used.
