    & LEDs don't like to be dimmed so the dome light may be problematical.

    LED's don't like to be dimmed, but they do step down in brightness. I have an LED array in both of my dome lights (added a second to the cargo area) and they don't fade off like the old bulbs, but they do step down then go off. Not an electrical engineer, so I have no idea if that is shortening the life of the bulbs.

    Sorry, back on topic. V-C-Az, the lights look great, and being mounted on the inside of the door gasket they should stay out of any kind of weather.... unless you drive around with your doors open just to show off how cool they are.

    I actually leave my parking lites on often when unloading the
    car, or getting fuel or just in parking lots while getting out
    of the car and stuff.
    I have LED taillight bulbs and parking lites, to the usage is
    minimal and looks pretty cool.
    Thought about the dome lite, but this way they stay on with
    rest of my parking lites (LEDs) which is why I chose that
    connection.
    Not sure if I can make it Sunday, wish I could though.
