My car is still at the shop and i have yet to install my polrags, so they don't last long?
Has anyone else encountered this brownish yellow change?

I installed mine last night. 1 watt led from ebay (warden_jp). I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

Polarg M4's are great, have them on the exterior and interior... Never encountered the brownish color yet... Hopefully it won't turn that color...

Hello,
I would just like to say if you guys are interested in these bulbs, beware of ebay seller GOODDEAL360, He is not the guy you want to buy from! He claims he has shipped out my bulbs and I have yet to recieve them. Will not send another pair of these $3 bulbs out, Very Unethical! Just like to caution fellow members, I know this is the best mod for the BUCK! So be cautious!

GOODDEAL360

Now I have to get another set, Do you guys prefer the Polrag m4s or the LEDs? Since I am still trying to get a set!

I also have M4's in the license plate lights. No problems yet (its been around 3-4 months). Great crisp, white output, looks the most like the stock 3GS license plate lights.

warden_jp is the best damn seller on ebay for lighting and he ships really fast and very cheap. Sometimes you can find the same bulbs going for different prices. I just got 2 sets of 2 LED bulbs for my door lights for $0.50 for each set, leaving me paying $5 for 4 bulbs w/ shipping!!! I will post pics of my license plate lighting and interior door lighting asap.

IIRC all you have to do is remove the carpet from behind the trunk lid and you can see where the bulbs are to pull them out.
