Definitely blue tint, as expected. But, it was a ton of them for cheap. Figured I'd give them a shot, especially since it was for less critical lighting. I won't cheap out for anything like brake lights or turn signals. Brightness wise, about the same as the ones they replaced.

I have used Superbright LED before and will probably use them again. Went LED headlight on my Neon and it seemed to work pretty well.

Door lock wise, I just thought it was odd that they are both showing the same symptom. Thought maybe they share the same power wire that's having issues or something. I'll look into replacement for sure.
That's what I thought with mine. Turns out they had all died individually, AND the wire behind the B-pillar panel was corroded.
