I'm interested in knowing what brands are good to use, i heard some burn out really fast or the color fades.

Anonymous Unregistered	That 7 color LED dome.. looks to be it has one LED has three color diode that mixes in different way to produce various colors.. But doesn't look like it'll fit our car.. It seems too long.. NOTE~~~!!!!!! If you have moonroof typical dome type bulb will not work... Cause Celica with moonroof has different type of bulb for the dome light...

Does anyone know the correct # for the celis with moonroofs? The bulb is a single end. The tech info pages here say blub number 273 or 293, somthing like that, but i have not yet seen this for sale anywhere!

You can see them through the dome light cover and in fact are bright enough to bathe the whole car in the color. But like most sales gimmicks at autozone they are very cheap and the color is almost pastel when lit. That and I had a problem with the gel melting to the bulb. -redhalo- 2003 Celica GT Carbon blue TRD bodykit & wing Injen CAI APR strut bar
