These LED's can replace sizes 158 (bright), 194 (brighter) and 168 (brightest) bulbs however I found the stock 168 bulb to be brighter than these LED's despite giving off a yellow hue compared to the cooler temperature LED's.
These lights are great for dash, instrument panel and interior illumination. They have the slightest tint of blue, most likely in between the 6000K to 8000K range when compared to the hue of HID's. They are by no means ultra bright like many LED's that are significantly more expensive so don't be disappointed when they don't light up your car like daylight - you get what you pay for, but in this case, I think you definitely get your money's worth.
Two of my dash bulbs in my 1995 Infinity G20 burned out and one of my instrument panels had been dark for awhile so I sacrificed a Saturday to strip my car apart to get at all the bulbs. It was quite the endeavor but well worth it. Look for my pictures to see comparisons of before and after. I used a combination of these 5-SMD LED's and
8x T10 194 168 501 4-smd 3528 LED Car Light Bulb White
to compare the output but did not notice a difference. I concluded behind any panel, the light output was negligible between the two. However, in open spaces like trunks, door step lights and dome lights, these omnidirectional LED's performed much better.
One of my secondary headlight bulbs had also burned out so I tested one of these LED lights there as well. Again, both the 4-SMD directional LED's and these 5-SMD omnidirectional LED's looked the same. Unfortunately, next to my
Sylvania 9004 SU SilverStar Ultra Halogen Headlight Bulb (Low/High Beam), (Pack of 2)
which are around 4300K and have a yellowish tint, it looked very blue due to the stark contrast in temperature. From far away though, it wasn't as noticeable as the pictures make them out to be and since these bulbs cost significantly less than a filament bulb, I left it in. I changed out my girlfriends 2008 Honda Accord's door lights as well and they looked fantastic.
None of the bulbs I received were defective. If you have any problems with the lights flickering or not making good contact, I would suggest bending the wires outward at the base of the lights to provide better connectivity.
