ebay but no idea who from. Was a year ago when I got em. They were cheap as hell to. They are single LED with the end of the cover being concave.

I don't remember my regular lights having a delay in brightness. So a question I have is do gen 1 and gen 2 have different lighting modules. I might have just never paid any attention to this until you all brought it up.

Reliable? Not really. I've already had to replace several of the ones I installed about 3 months ago. Cheap? Yeppers. I got a bag of 10 #194's on Ebay for about $6 bucks including shipping. I checked the price of #194's at my local AutoZone recently...$16 dollars for TWO bulbs. Good grief!!! I'll get mine from fleabay any day of the week.

3 months for some of the bag of $6 ones? Well, if you feel like changing bulbs that often then by all means go for it...

I have a pair of 800 milliwatt SMD LED 194s on the way to try out.. There are so many designs of these damn things it's hard to decide which would be best for which application. I'll keep a spare or two in the ashtray if I need them, 94 cents a bulb isn't a big deal...
As for feeling like changing bulbs... it takes literally less than 10 seconds to do just about any interior bulb, so WGAF?

Good point there Medium, but personally I'd want something a bit more reliable for my money

Yes. They do. They work on my '97 LSC.

I bought a ton of these things on fleabay. I put them in both my Marks and both my Explorers. Also put some in my mom's '08 Mustang convertible and her '97 Cougar 30th Anniversary Edition. So far no probs with either of them. And only had to replace one trunk strip bulb, dome light bulb, and driver's side floor bulb in my '96. As far as the '97 LSC, no problems. No problems with either of the '94 Explorers either. I actually have blue LED's in the '97. They are pretty
. The rest have white LED's.phreakness

I want LED's but If they're not dimmable, I'm not interested.

The dimming isnt done by the LED. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, the dimming action is caused by the electricty being restircted by a variable resistor not the LED.

I believe the 2nd gen cars use PWM (pulsed width modulation) for the dimming of the lights...

Could be, i was thinking they would go the cheaper route than going PWM.

I have blue glass halogens on my floor, doors, over head and back reading lights, the 2 front reading lights are sonic blue led
the carpet now matches the color of my dash lights and the reading lights match my cd players lighting
I hve no changed the glove box or trunk lights yet, that's next
since my car is a blue/blue, it thought Id take it a bit further and make it a blue/blue/blue/blue LOL
I've been thinking about chroming the housing for the door lights...I think I'm gonna do that like...right now
