New LED step lights on 4th gen maxima

Recently bought these. They are a 194 bulb and the stock bulb was a 161. The website claims it can replace a 161 and only draws 1.1 watts. What do u guys think? And is this 194 led ok for replacing a 161bulb??

Do they have plug and play SUPER Bright Backup Llight bulbs?

When using an incandescent lamp and going to a brighter one is that you have to deal with more heat in a small enclosure. The heat from a led lamp is much less and is not a problem.

If you get these, they will be so bright that you are blinded and cannot use the mirror.

I just like a different color than a standard bulb haha. But i see your point. I dont like too much light, which is why i have tinted windows lol
