What's the part # on the exact bulbs you bought?
The festoon bulbs I saw are 24.99 not 9.99. Are they a direct fit?

we use 6418, there are two of them...

2 pack - $2.99 + $5.99 shipping = $8.98

trunk (both) are single-bulb each, 6411 which is the 39mm, not the 36mm unit (even then it was slightly short so i bent the metal piece a little to make it work so maybe order the 42mm one) - so qty 2 to do front & rear

courtesy lights on door are one bulb each - 2825, which is this:

for a total of 2, then the center dome light area i believe is a single 6418 which is the one i posted previously

and this seller does reduced shipping for multiple items, too

enjoy! i *LOVE* the way it makes my car look

yep, exact same shape as a bulb, just as if you're replacing a burnt out one... no tools needed for courtesy/dome/trunks.. only a philips for 2 sets of 2 screws and you're done... 10 minutes for everything... will be the best $20-30 you spend in appearance mods...

note that the bulbs have a flat circuit board in them with surface-mount LED's facing one direction ONLY so whatever direction the light is pointing out at, there is ZERO light on the other side, so align them (easy to do and will make sense when you see them) before you close it back up... i probably didn't even have to say it because you'll understand when you put them in that only a COMPLETE idiot wouldn't get it right the first time

I have bought bulbs from Hoen in the past and had great success with their products.

The bulbs are installed and look great. These put off a nice bluish/white light. This a nice inexpensive upgrade that takes 5 min to install and really complements my litronic headlights. Thanks again!
