    Pity7700, you're right. I bought another set a few years back from superbrightleds.com, and a few differing sizes for my old Infiniti, which I sold 2 years ago. So, the mix and match set, according to its new owner, are still working. So, I hope that means that the cheap Chinese "copies" on eBay have improved in quality and brightness over the years. I only had ONE issue with Chinese festoon LED in that Infiniti, which only lasted a month. And once you've taken the dash apart to get to the cluster, you'll be an expert!

    That's longer than some other electronics lasts! Or even household light bulbs! The importers probably think you got your money's worth! BTW, Roll Tide!

    96? Yikes! That fit in a standard overhead map light assembly? Overhead bulb is like those vintage stereo receiver panel bulb (they were called fuse bulbs, 8 volts). I looked in a pull-a-part for another assembly to experiment with something like an array of 24, but you've blazed that trail already!
