I used a kit like this off of eBay. Cheap and works great. Had them in over 18 months now and they are nice and bright and never skip a beat. Super easy to install. No wiring or anything. Plug and play.

I used a few E-bay light kits, and they just didn't give off enough light for me. They were dim, and they had such a narrow beam pattern that they were pretty useless.

I found some kits in Japan I purchased that are AMAZINGLY bright. They cast a WIDE beam pattern and you can actually see inside my car with DARK tint when it's nighttime with these on. I sold off the two kits I ended up not using... Here are some pictures of the ones I got. They are plug and play.

They are 24 SMD ultra bright wide angle LEDs for the dome, and 8 SMD ultra bright wide LEDs for each of the map lights.





If interested, let me know. I will try and find out if they are still "get-able"

Found them. But they are like $35 per kit shipped from Japan To me they are totally worth it. But not so sure if y'all feel the same.

I've used them countless times and nothing but great experiences. A bit pricier than eBay but the bulbs are better quality and returns are easy.

here...
these are the ones I'm using for the interiors and plate.
they will NOT fit inside the plastic bulb cover on the plate, unless you remove the double sided tape, ...Is a tight fit but it works.
I have tried other led's for the plate; but a lot of them wont fit inside the cover, and the ones that do fit are not as powerful as these.

you can get away with a smaller, more compact and less powerful bulb...
but when you are at an empty field at 2 or 3am, playing with rc cars... you need a lot of light
