I've read maybe half the threads on LED lamps (they get long and boring) but I can't recall reading anything about the vanity mirror lamps. I never even thought about these lamps because I'd almost forgotten the car had them.

Maybe a week ago I was riding in the car (the wife was driving) and I pulled the visor down because we were driving into the sun. For some reason I flipped open the mirror and the lights didn't come on. Thinking I needed new bulbs, I immediately thought LEDs.

When I got home and popped out the lens, I was surprised at what I saw. The lamps looked like fuses. I can't recall ever seeing a lamp like that. Now I was interested, especially to see if there was a LED replacement. I knew my no lights problem was not burned out bulbs, I'd figured that out while we were still driving, but I was hooked on the LED search.

Well, it wasn't much of a search. VLED was out of stock, no due date. But SuperBrightLed had plenty, so I ordered 8 from them. Got them today and installed them.

Here is a photo with one LED lamp and one incandescent bulb. I hope I don't have to tell you which one is which.



Here is a photo of the lamps. The SuperBrightLed number is F30-WHP 12 volt.

The ones I put in are bright enough, maybe too bright. I angled them so they aren't shining straight into your eyes. I can't imagine how bright the 3 chip ones might be, but I would have to go with too bright for my tastes.
