Review on πŸ’‘ Sylvania 194 T10 W5W ZEVO LED Blue Bulb - Brighten Your Interior with Enhanced LED Lighting (1 Bulb) by Julian Locklear

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Almost OEM quality:

I've tried many different LED lights like this for the license plate lights on my last two cars and none of them have worked for me. Everything was always too blue and didn't look like the LEDs that are standard on some cars. After seeing a few photos online I finally decided to give them a try and I couldn't be happier. They look fantastic, aren't too bright and look best like they came factory fitted to my car. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to look like an OEM. Check out the photos I will add to see the quality. They may seem a bit pricey but they are worth it. Note: Depending on your vehicle, these LEDs may partially illuminate after you turn off the vehicle. This is fairly common with LEDs and is not a fault with this particular bulb. In my car, they sometimes burn for a while, but then go out. It's so faint that you can't see it unless you're looking directly into the housing that houses the bulb. This isn't a license plate issue, but if you use a lightbulb in a car you may notice it. while driving (although again it's so dark it doesn't actually emit any light, but you can see it lit up). Update: Both bulbs blew out after a few months. Considering the price, I wouldn't recommend them for license plate use anymore. I could handle replacing them annually, but only for a couple of months at $10 each and they're not worth it. They can last longer in areas that don't get as much light (e.g. in the footwell or in the trunk). Disappointing because the color and light output is perfect with them. Update #2: After my first two died, I was sent two free replacements from Sylvania. I don't know if they changed anything but the replacements have been going on for almost 8 months now. If the first two hadn't died so quickly, they would have easily gotten four or five stars. I'm leaving it at three for now, but if they continue without issues I'll probably upgrade the rating to four stars. They look really great, have the perfect brightness for cars with dual license plate lights and are very similar to OEM solutions.

Pros
  • bulbs Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
