are these good and will they illuminate like the stock/ will they even illuminate? cause i heard from someone on here that with led, they are either on or off(switch).

fyi... i searched for this topic. i didnt find anything that answered my question.

I used red LED's in my map lights and door lights. The map lights faded when going off. I purchased a wide angle beam for the map and a spot beam for the doors. The red was very bright. If your going white should not be an issue.
Do they have a heat sink built in? It would be preferred to have that if you plan on leaving them on for any more than a couple of minutes. LED's can get hot.
Another option as to where to purchase LED's. autolumination.com (http://www.autolumination.com/)

People on here really like v-leds.com. There is LED thread in exterior forum going on if you search.
