Whats up everyone, just wanted to put up some pictures and a quick review of the LED bulbs I just swapped in.
So I bought everything from Diode Dynamics, shipping was quick. The USPS however sucks and caused me not to get my order for a few days.
The LEDs seem to be good quality, time will tell however. I will update this in a few weeks/months on how the bulbs hold up.
On to the fun part.
The pictures don't do the license plate bulbs any justice. They aren't bright to the point of distorting the plate. In person they are a nice white, looks very crisp, clean, and classy.

The bulb used in the license plate pictures:
2004-2014 Mitsubishi Evolution License Plate LEDs (pair)
Color:
Cool White (6000K)
Bulb Model:
SMD2 (24 lumens)
Next to the trunk! So the stock bulb isn't all that bright, not to mention the stock location for the light also is lacking. The LED bulb is brighter, not as much as I would have wanted but something is better than nothing. The big appeal here, is that the nice white light looks so much better.

The bulb used in the trunk picture:
2008-2014 Mitsubishi Evolution Trunk Light LED
Color:
Cool White (6000K)
Bulb Model:
SMF6 (94 lumens)
Finally, the best yet! I have a sunroof, and as such I lose the dome light. The stock map lights aren't terrible, but far from great. The difference here is seriously night and day. I would say I will only ever need one map light on at once. With both on, I can probably light the areas next to the car. I uploaded two interior photos. I'm sure I don't need to explain which is which.

So I do apologize for the sideways photos, simply put its 2 AM and im lazy. My closing thoughts are that for what all this cost, its money well spent. Should I have any issues in the coming weeks/months ill come back and update.
I hope this helps some people, I found a lack photos on the LED swaps. If anyone wants different pictures or more of something, just let me know.
