We use Cree XP-E and XP-D LEDs that are color-matched to the lens they will be seated behind.

We also offer package deals:

Interior bulbs only:
https://shop.radioflyerinnovations.c...on-Kit-078.htm

Exterior bulbs only
https://shop.radioflyerinnovations.c...on-Kit-047.htm

Interior/Exterior bulbs
https://shop.radioflyerinnovations.c...ackage-085.htm


Brightness and color are self-evidence of the quality of these LEDs.

Several of you mention interference after you installed LED lights, and that is a common problem with most of the higher powered LEDs today.

I have an EMF meter that I use for work (I'm a boat designer, and we use really powerful LED lights, and we have to design around the interference).

There are cell phone apps that you can install, then move your phone near the lights to see if they are "radiating". If they are, it can interfere with the FOBs, the TMPS system, stereo, etc.

Just food for thought.....

So .... what's wrong with all the OEM bulbs that come standard with the C6?

My GS is a 2011 (7 years old), and not one bulb has burned out yet.

Are you guys replacing the OEM bulbs just to replace something?

Does the interior lights really need to be all that much brighter?

OEM lighting has a yellow tint to it compared to LED's. If you like OEM keep it. I replaced mine because it looked like my wife's Rav4. I ended up replacing all the interior bulbs in the Rav also.

Nobody here is replacing their bulbs because of burn outs. They are doing it for the looks and brightness factor. When you switch out the oem interior lights for LED's you will not believe the difference. It actually transforms the interior at night. I used bright white (they do come in colors and different shades) and the difference was unbelievable.

Ok slightly different Issue. I went to Xenon pro for "headlights". Got high beams and didn't notice it. Put box on shelf until i got around to pulling out the headlight, disassembling it and installing a new lens. When I tried to install the headlight bulbs, realized I had high beams...too late for their return policy. However, the bigger issue is that the back of the bulb makes it impossible to to install the boot that covers the big hole in the headlight casing.

Anyone ever dealt with this?


Fan cooler on back of bulb too big for boot.

Some trim the black cover to go on best it can, others leave cover off. The little fan needs to circulate the heat out so...
draw back is moisture can get in the light.
