how long did your puddle lights last you? i'm surprised they went out so fast, i thought they should last a long time because it's led?

I had some 8 SMD 194s and they weren't bad.
I'm going to try some 1W leds;
they're suppose to be brighter.

My 1W LEDs were pretty decent for auxiliary interior lights.

Which application are you getting these bulbs for?

I don't think it's overkill if you have an actual need for super bright led's due to no ambient lighting. Get them as bright as you can. You should check the vendor section and ask some of the vendors if they can help you out with this.

Never an overkill.

I think the dealer can change some settings like this for you. Just make sure that you know if you would like to change any other settings beforehand so you can get them all done at once. Take some pictures and show us the light! LOL!
