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??

Nice and BRIGHT with the door open. Good call!

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.

I found that Orielly's extra bright LED for 194, 168 bulb are brighter...Just replaced the courtesy lights and license plate lights with that O'rielly brand....also check out Xtralight.com for an entire interior/exterior LED kit...

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

are we trying to help incoming planes land or something? what happened to stealth? i really don't want super bright leds all over my max, seems way overkill imo. now colored led's in the console, doors, etc, different story.

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
