In process of changing out my interior bulbs- do the 194 led replacement bulbs burn hotter than standard bulbs? A little worried about melting the lenses or sockets!

No. They run MUCH cooler than a regular incandescent bulb.

No, the diode (the "D" in LED) requires much less energy to illuminate, and thus runs MUCH cooler than standard filament bulbs.
I love my LEDS and have changed ALL of my lights (with exception to headlights) to LEDS from VLEDS.com and will never go back to standard bulbs.

Do yall order the 360 degree LEDs? I'm looking to switch out my interiors as well. I've heard they sometimes will stay on after your car is turned off, is that older style bulbs or will these do that?

I got these JDM ASTAR bright white LED's for the rear view mirror of my 2013 Grand Sport. They look really good, really bright white. They turn off just like the regular lights, gradually getting dimmer & then off.

If they don't work when you install them, reverse the install. LED's only flow one way, so if you put them in your mirror, and they don't lite up, just reverse the install, and all is fine!

I was told this too. Odds happened to work out that when I installed the LED's in my car's mirror, both of them worked first time.

On the topic of LED bulbs...I have Bright White LED fog lights too. They are working great, really bright. They are H10, 72w Atshark bulbs.

Stay that way continuously. If I don't drive it for a week or more then my battery will be low. Few days isn't an issue. I believe it's due to a small amount of voltage from BCM. Either way it's a small draw
