ok got the dome light in after some mod to one end. apparently the ends on the OEM buld has tapered/pinched ends and the ones from vled are rounded to a point which doesn't work for the dome on the DE3175.
you have to pinch one end to get it to sit correctly or you end up shorting out the circuit it seems.
Did you pinch then end of the actual LED bulb to a point? I ran into the same issue with my dome light. The replacement LED light is rounded at the end and won't stay put like the OEM bulb.

any and all inputs are greatly appreciated. I know most people install the 10 led version of the 168-194 instead of the 5 led version on the superbrites and I cant find any pictures of the 5 led vs the 10 led output. most pics of the 10 led imo seem way to bright but I have no reference. what may look bright may not actually be too bright for me or vice versa.
Are these the 10 LED version you were referring to?

I am only doing the 4 door puddle lights with these along with the cargo area.
I figured the brighter the better for the door lights. Would anyone know if these would work in the mirror puddle lights as well?
Awesome, thanks for the pic.
It is no big deal if they don't go in the door puddles, I was just curious as to what most people were using for the door puddle lights.
Did you go with the cool white or warm white. I am leaning towards the warm white just so they don't seem so....sterile looking? If that is a thing.

Has anyone replaced the glove box light with LED? I'd like to replace all my interiors in my 2015 SR5.
