i think that you need to take someone out of the lights in the back if you wanna put in that big of bulb.. idk for sure though. so you might as well try it.

and those don't look that big at all. i'd try them everywhere. i didn't put very big ones in the foot wells cause i didn't want to hit the light and bust them off.. so i put ones that are small enough to be flush with the dash piece.

yeah, there is room.. but there is always a chance.. i could say i wouldn't have any problems with room in the wells.. but i can see my girl or a friend accidently hit there foot with it.. so just playing it safe. and i watched that same video.. its good. just like you said and they tell you .. move the reflector back first and then put the bulbs in. i'd go with 20's and if you don't use them all. well they don't get old just sitting there. can find spots for them.. they might fit in the back side markers.. and they are red already so youre fine there.

The 20s should be plenty bright. You will probably just have to bend the wires out a little if you are getting the cheap ones off Ebay like I did. You will be very happy with the brightness for sure.

That install looks great! Some awesome stock vs LED pics! great job!

Hmmm. Interesting. When I put mine in they were too bright to the point I had to squint to deal with them at night. lol

Heres mine






The ones in the doors are no longer connected as I used the plug to run power to some logo projectors instead. Still plenty bright. lol

I'm gonna be switching back to white in the summer. this red is getting annoying actually.

OEM reds are not very red lights.. i had them in my back seat reading lamps and they looked pretty bad.. just like that picture.

the link to the kit for 97-03 gp doesnt work for me, went to diode dynamics website to try to find it, cant. deff wanna do stage 2 red interior kit. is the kit still available?

EDIT: found the kit, just the link in the forum wasnt correct or something.

Anyone ever use these?
