10pcs Error Free 194 168 175 2825 W5W T10 LED Bulbs Purple Super Bright 3030 Chipset for Interior Dome Map Door Courtesy Trunk License Plate Lights

Unfortunately I have far too much experience replacing 194 LED bulbs. I love the brightness and the reduced power draw means more power to run toys (bed lights, cameras, flood lights) off existing circuits so I changed over nearly all internal & exterior incandescent bulbs back in 2010 on my truck, horse trailer, and RV trailer. The one thing I can say is that I have been left hanging time and time again by LED bulbs that quit or malfunction (some chips on the bulb don’t light up &/or flicker) far before an incandescent bulb would have burned out. So in my 12 years using size 194 LEDs, I’ve used and replaced and been disappointed by bulbs from many manufacturers. I’ve purchased metal and plastic base models but none seem to last. I really hope this set turn out to last because I didn’t get 2 years out of my last set of cab marker LEDS and I don’t even drive that much because I’m working remote during Covid.I just installed this set today on my truck. 5 marker lights over the cab and 2 on each side mirror meant a 10 pack of amber left me 1 to spare. I immediately noticed a difference with these that I have not noticed with the myriad of other bulbs I’ve tried-they have no polarity. It was really kind of awesome not to have to immediately pluck out the bulb after installing bc the polarity was reversed, because inevitably I ALWAYS put it in wrong first (statistics says this is impossible and yet…). I didn’t have to flip one of the 9 bulbs I installed today. While that’s not a big deal, it’s a nice improvement over having to pick a side.For those new to LED bulbs, particularly in the 194 size that can end up on turn signal circuits: these do error (that just means the bulb and arrow on your dash blink really fast). There’s nothing wrong and it’s due to the low power draw in these bulbs (and a vast majority of mass marketed LED bulbs) fooling my model year 2008 truck into thinking the energy hog incandescent bulb burned out. Not a problem for newer cars that were configured for LEDs from the factory or you can pay more to get error free versions in bulbs, or if you’re handy you can DIY a fix in the wiring. But before you pay more or think you have to tinker, consider if that fast blinker bothers you because that’s the only reason it matters. My truck has passed annual safety inspections for 12 years in 2 different states. It was never cited as a safety issue and I’ve never been pulled over for it. I’m going to save the money, use these bulbs, and welcome the fast blinkers!Compared to the old set of amber LEDs I just replaced, these were just as bright yet had a fraction of the chips of my old ones. I just hope the chips keep working on these. As I have a truck and 2 trailers that use size 194 bulbs more than any other size, I would love to find a reliable brand to switch them all over to. Since only time will tell, I’m looking forward to seeing how these last and I will absolutely update my review when/if I come back for more of these.
