Safego W5W 501 LED Bulbs T10 194 168 Led Car Bulbs Super Bright White 5SMD 5050 LED Replacement for LED Side Light Bulbs Car Interior Dashboard Dome Map Door Courtesy License Plate Lights 12V, 10PCS

For those who are considering replacing interior lights in their vehicle, these Safego T10 Canbus LED's are a fantastic purchase.When I had ordered the lights they came next day which was a standard delivery but as an Amazon prime member this was no problem.For those who may not have fitted lights like these before, many YouTube videos are available that offer some guidance for installation, the process is remarkably simple in most cases. I would also advise seeking help if in doubt.My standard interior lights were okay but as I needed only one the price for a pack is sensible and allowed me to upgrade all lamps. That being said in the course of winter and dark nights I can honestly say that these LED's are awesome. The brightness allows me to see much better than before in the vehicle at night even when getting the kids into their seats.For the price I paid for the product I am completely satisfied and recommend to anyone.

I wasn't expecting top quality for cheap. Yes, they are bright and they tend to last. It really depends on the car's electrical system I guess. On some cars they will die sooner than on others. The average lifetime when used as sidelight was 6 months before one of the two fitted would die. No complain at all compared to others. When used for dome lights or in any other place inside the car, they are still working(after more than an year since they were fitted). And they are bright!!!Value for money, brightness, longevity(depends on where they are fitted but they will last). Very happy with them!

Bought these to replace the insipid yellow bulbs that are installed in many places in the interior of both my cars. I found the Safego W5W bulbs to be very bright, with a nice 'cool white' colour.Time will tell whether they exhibit long-term reliability.A couple of 'gotchas' that you should watch out for, when fitting these bulbs. Essentially, they're not fully compliant with W5W bulbs in several ways:* The LED bulbs are substantially longer than a glass W5W. I found that they wouldn't fit in the rear seat courtesy light in a Corsa 'D' without bending some metal tabs in the bulb holder.* The LED bulbs have the wire terminals on BOTH sides of the base. On a glass W5W, it only comes out on one side. This means that when fitted in some bulb holders, the Safego bulbs short out the 12V supply, blowing the fuse. I got through 3 fuses before I figured out what was causing the short. I cut half of each 'leg' off of two of the bulbs and got them into the bulb holder without shorting it out. However...* There are lots of PCB track edges and solder joints at the periphery of the LED bulbs, whereas a glass bulb is inherently insulated. After I shoehorned two LED bulbs into the largely metal bulb holder, there was less than 1mm clearance between one of those solder joints and the metal cover of the lamp fitting. I decided that it was just too much of a fire risk to leave my car like that. I'd rather have yellow courtesy lights than a burned-out car and no insurance payout when their forensic investigator finds that somebody caused the fire by replacing the bulbs with cheap, non-compliant LEDs.I have found plenty of other locations to safely fit them (in plastic bayonet bulb holders) so I'm still pleased with the purchase overall.[Edit, 2019-07-26]I purchased another bag of these to swap out the bulbs in my next car (2017 Honda Civic). Had I read my own review, I’d have figured out that these are too long to fit the front map lights. They’re about 5mm longer than an original glass W5W filament bulb. I went on Amazon to write up this problem, only to find that I’d already had the same problem, several years earlier! I now need to find some shorter LED bulbs...BTW, all of the Safego bulbs I put in my wife’s car from the last purchase are still going strong.

Good for changing incandescent bulbs for LED

The interior cabin and boot lights were rather weak with the normal bulbs installed and were that orange glow sort of colour. Because they have multiple LEDs they provide a better scatter of light and are also brighter. The white colour of the light is also nicer to read with if you need to look at map or anything else.Compared to the normal bulb these are slightly chunkier so may not fit all sockets. In my cars courtesy light it was easy swap. For the boot light though it was a little harder to replace. The boot used a sort of metal clip that needed to be bent a little to encourage the bulb to fit.Overall I am pleased with the result though at this point I cannot comment on how long they last or reliability.

Very dim and fails after a while.

These bulbs give a wide angle illumination, strong, bright white, every bulb works though remember that led bulbs need inserting into the socket the correct way round, if they don`t work first time, turn around and reinsert, well packaged, great value, we used foot well, glove box, instrumentation and stop lights, these run cool, some leds with metal surrounds get hotter, something to consider when using on instrumentation.

I purchased a 10 pack of these with the intention of replacing all my car's W5W bulbs with them. Having done the sidelights i don't know that i'll bother with any more. They work well, and they are bright BUT... they throw up errors on the dash!I often wish that folks would state the exact vehicle they try these LEDs in, so others would know what they are FULLY compatible with. Sadly this usually is not the case. So, for the records vehicle is a 2011 VW Passat B7 (362) 2.0TDI Blue Motion. As stated, they work but generate CAN bus 'check lights' errors.
