    Inner tail light LED?

    I can’t seem to find inner tail light LED bulbs, either on ECS or theretrofitsource. Anybody know where to get them? Am I blind?

    What?
    Factory bulbs are incandescent.

    If you're talking about converting, I don't recommend making the trunk lights LEDs. Because of the lack of proper control over LED bulb brightness (since they're not supposed to run at full brightness), the bulbs end up being way too bright, blinding people behind you. I initially made all my running lights and trunk lights LEDs, but after seeing how blinding they were, I had to revert them to incandescent, leaving only the turn signals and brake lights LED.

    couldn't you have just wired a dimmer to them and turned them down?

    That isn't an option for me. The less modifications to wiring the better. This may be an option for those with the Eagle Eyes though because that incandescent bulb there is so out of place!
