I am also LEDs in select locations in the 06 GP. AFAIR the location are interior (overhead nice improvement), backup (nice improvement), marker and plate lights. Interestingly I couldn't get a one to work in the trunk light location, more light would have been nice here.

Matched the bulb color to the cover color. Got some duds just ordered one with more bulbs the next time. All are now as bright as or brighter than the originals. The surface mount seem to be brightest, but much more directional. Don't think I have $16 in all of them.
