Just got the LEDs from superbright. Seems they sent me the wrong dome light bulbs. Not happy, they seem to small, gonna test one out today and see how they work. Also, noticed we may be short on #74 bulbs. not exactly happy at the moment. I will update you further.

How about an answer to my previous post's questions. I want to get started on the 3 rear interior LED's. I just have to know the answers so I can get the right LED. Thanks.

the longer side is the positive side, the viewing angles make a huge different when installing in something as you are. a 8 degree angle will make a small dot on the back seat that is quite bright, now the 45 degree will shine in a much large sizes area (you should go with 45, but probably isn't as bright).

another update, I went out to try one of their 3022 bulbs, they don't work. I will have to ship them back, there is 18 in total that need to be shipped, orders will be held till then, as I am not paying double for shipping.

Thanks. How about 45 degrees at 8000 mcd? That's almost the brightest in a 5mm. I figure 3 of them would be good in the back.

You could probably lightly sand the tips of those 8000mcd leds with some 1000grit sandpaper to diffuse the light more, itll kinda give the effect of a light bulb in that it wont show any circles (wont be as bright or painful to look into).

RL5-G5030 Green clear 5000 mcd 30° 525 nm T-1 3/4
RL5-G5023 Green clear 5000 mcd 23° 524 nm T-1 3/4
RL5-G8020 Green clear 8000 mcd 20° 525 nm T-1 3/4

RL5-G13008 Green clear 13000 mcd 8° 525 nm T-1 3/4
If I use 3 of these, which ones would you suggest? No one will be looking into them, I just want rear seat illumination for the "cool" effect. Course it'll also help at night, but that's secondary. Thanks again for your advice.

These.
Also scuffing the lenses is good for diffusion when you are mounting LEDs close to a surface. For the seats they're like 2'-3' feet away, in which case it may be best to leave the lenses clear so that you do get all of your light output (scuffing them does reduce range). I would say leave them clear at first, they can always be modified later.
For my console and door handle LEDs i did scuff them however.

I will begin shipping LEDs out today, only to the people who do not need the dome lights/trunk lights. I have to wait for those and those will be shipped out once I have been sent the correct lights.
