Default Putco, lights, LEDs, brake lights?

2004 Chrysler Crossfire LED Lights – CARiD.com

So I stumbled across this site, and they apparently carry a good variety of stuff for our crossfires!
Anyway, what do you guys think? Is it worth getting LEDs and such from these guys? Anyone have experience with them from a previous purchase?

First time I have been on the site..........seem ok except they are kinda high on the prices for LED's as I can find most of the same stuff for less else where.

Yeah the prices are a bit higher for them, but I've seen mixed reviews for the chinese knockoff LEDs from various people on the forums. I'm just wondering if these are worth getting for the car, because I want to replace the front headlight corner markers, interior lights, and possibly corner markers.

Well, you just have to decide if you want to spend $89.90, or $12.50 ( for 10 )
Since I'm a frugal ( cheap ) puke, I went with the $12.50 to SEE if they would work, and they do. If they didn't, I wouldn't be out a lot.

I have LEDs on my Dome light, cargo, eyelids, license & Back up lights.....all Chinese for 6 months. No problems yet!! Not even light out indicator. Once in a while they turn on, but I think it's for my HIDs. Other than that, no problems!

Yeah I got them in the license plate lights already, just trying to follow up with the rest of the car. The two that I have no clue on how to replace are the eyelids ones and the dome light. No clue how to actually gain access to those without breaking something.

I've had them in only a couple of weeks.

Eyelids : use a long 10mm open end wrench to turn the holders, then needle nose pliers to fish then out and back in.

Dome : remove the clear cover with a popsicle stick or similar, then the 2 phillips head screws you will see inside. You can then unplug the assembly and easily replace the bulbs.

Here is a thread that helps with the dome (map) light replacement. It also has some stuff about putting LEDs in the dome area.

Hope it helps.

Ok, the dome seems simple enough, but the eyelids I just dont get hahaha. Yeah, the crossfire is nothing like my Altima R I used to drive in terms of ease of modding. Things are complicated on this little coupe.
