Yeah definitely happy with the tail LEDs no flicker and no canbus errors. I think they should have done LEDs from the get go

Without a doubt, do you feel that they are brighter?

I would say yes they "feel" brighter in my mind but i think its because the light is more uniform and consistent compared to the corner light where its only even when the brakes are applied. Other then that it only lights up a little section. Plus when i bought them they were only 5 bucks each so i didn't feel like i was out much to try it. The part i hated most was taking off the hatch panel to get to the lights. I have trim removal tools and i still bent one broke aother. Luckily it didn't affect the way it went back on and still holds tight.

See the major color descrepency? The only way to color match the back two rows would be to make a new board which the company i work for can do or just desolder the LED
and put the right color in its place
Now for the Rear End i put LEDs in the Hatch rear lights and it seems to be slightly brighter and light is alot more even in my opinion in person.
Here is what they look like in

Here is what they look like on

Now in this one the right seems more orange then the left factory bulb but thats just a deception between brightness angle and crappy phone camera lol.
Its actually alot more even in light and brighter.
Wow Shaun thanks for taking the time to show us these pictures, it looks great.

Haha just use two people to get it back on. I have this problem of wanting to do stuff all alone so i can say i did it all. Line up the clips with the holes sounds simple but hard to do on your own.

**UPDATE**

Found out how to color match the reader lights for the rear two rows and front readers. What i could use info on is how to drop down the front section that has the sunglasses holder and homelink stuff so that i can get access to the circuit board. If anyone has info that would greatly help so i don't damage that top console
