So far so good. Great price!
Really nice. These were exactly what I was looking for and work as advertised. They provide a nice pure white light for the interior and for the license plate. Even though the lights are very directional, once they are installed in position (headliner and tag light) they perform better than OEM.Notes:- When installing the round bulbs in the rear hatch, make sure they are centered in the connector. If it slides too far from one side to the other, they will flicker or not work at all. Once they are centered, they work great.- They have a POS and NEG side, and only work if installed in the proper direction. Ops check them before you snap everything back together.- Several people have dropped their rating because of a lack of instructions or because their vehicle was difficult to change the bulbs in. Instructions for changing bulbs are in your vehicle's owner's manual. That seems a little harsh to me to drop the product rating.I'll update this review if I have any issues, but as of now they are working great and look good.

Great, cheap upgrade
I wasn't sure if there would be a noticeable benefit from changing to LED's from the stock bulbs, but I'm glad I went with these.The color is a lot whiter than the stock bulbs, and are noticeably brighter. The interior lights illuminate the cabin very nicely at night, and fade off and on just like the stock bulbs do.Installing all 6 bulbs took me probably 10 minutes, and the only tool I used was a flat head screw driver to remove the interior trim pieces. LED's are polarity dependent so if they don't light up just flip them.The only lights that are a little tricky to change out are the license plate lights. I've taken mine apart before so this didn't take me long, but the trick is to apply pressure to the clear housings towards your left. There is a little clip on the left hand side of the housings that clip into the hatch so you just need to get that to disengage and they come off. There is no need to remove any trim or interior pieces this way.

Great for two years
Worked fine for 08 WRX hatchback, had everything needed to replace dome light, license plate lights, hatch light, and the two reading lights up front. The brightness might be a little jarring at night but you get used to it.Update: Two years later the dome light starts flickering and the trunk light no longer works. For the price, it was worth having this for two years without paying $40 for a higher quality kit, as I sold the car.Your experience may vary, but know that you may end up paying for these twice in order to replace any that start failing after a year or two.

providing they don't burn out they work and look nice. The festoon models are a bit longer than ...
Couldn't get any easier & cheaper. Even though everyone says "led lights last forever" they're all dead wrong because as of right now every interior retrofit led light in my 98 Regal GS burned out within 6 months, & I've also burned out four TCP LED candelabra bulbs for the house too within the first eight months. But all that aside, providing they don't burn out they work and look nice. The festoon models are a bit longer than the OEM requiring you to bend out the tabs further than I was comfortable with to get them to go in but I did it because I was not going back after this far. So far I love them. Perfect amount of bright white light.

Upgrade from stock!
Bought this for a 2013 wrx sedan and also a 2013 XV Crosstrek All three sets of lights are brighter than stock, they are not White more like a very light blue-ish hue but still a nice change from stock....However on the XV crosstrek the light for the cargo area is not quite the right type of configuration. Though the WRX and XV take the same style bulbs. The cargo area light in the XV needs a bulb that shines in all directions for it to work. But can't beat for the price, only had them in for a week for can't comment on longevity....didnt give a 5 star only because the color is not quite true white, BUT I still like them......

LEDs 1 year later...
I had these bulbs for over a year now. (purchased June 2015) In short, the bulbs were easy to install and they give off a very nice light. The LEDs are noticeably brighter than the stock bulbs. I would recommend changing the stock bulbs to LEDs for any car.When buying these lights, my biggest concern was the quality of the LEDs. Meaning would i get pulled over for my license plate bulb being out... Am I buying quality LEDs or junk $8 LEDs. Well, Its been over a year now, the dome light already stopped working, BUT all the other lights still work fine....for now. I will update when the other LEDs go bad.

Just Do It
Received the lights within 24 hours of ordering them. The lights were a little big compared to the stock bulbs. With that being said, you just need to bend the "female" component. I was hesitant at first but I just went ahead and muscled it in. So far so good- I just hope they last longer than a year after reading other reviewers' posts. Other than the cabin LED size issues- great product and looks a lot better than the OEM bulbs.

Great lights! Very bright and clean looking when done.
This kit had everything needed to change all the lights on my 2011 STI. The price was great.Only issue I had was that a few of the lights had to be jiggled and twisted to get them to work in the socket. Once up and running there were no issues. It took extra time and I am really not sure what was causing the issue.My wife, who is usually skeptical about all the things I do to my car, turned on the map light and immediately said she wants me to get the interior lights for her Tribeca!
