Howdy,
I know that the Model 3 interior lights are significantly too dim for the job (especially the trunk!). And my buddy installed the RPM units (brighter and cheaper than all the others, they claim). And they are bright, and they do snap right in. And yet... two of his five have now failed after less than a month of use. Both in the trunk. The middle row of LEDs begin to flicker, then go out. When I reached in to replace them, I found the back of the housing way too hot to touch. This means that the LEDs aren't as efficient as we'd like them to be and/or there is not enough heat sink for my taste.
So yeah. They're bright. They are a reasonable price. But is there something better out there that I should be looking at? I know several places have their own made. But who makes the best one for the job?
BONUS POINTS: Who's added more light to the frunk... and how'd you do it?
