This was not so much for more light, as the vehicle has 2x 212-2 incandescent bulbs in each of the (count 'em!) SIX dome light positions (2x front, 2x mid, 2x rear), plus a separately switched aftermarket warm white or red dome light in back of the front two factory lights. However, the 6x 212-2 bulbs do draw significant current, and modern starting batteries don't like that a lot. I measured one of these well used** 212-2 bulbs as drawing 0.74 amps at 12.8 battery volts = 9.47 watts. Six of them would be almost 4.5 amps. I guesstimate new bulbs would draw at least 6 amps. That's not "awful", but in a situation where the vehicle may be sitting turned off yet with a good amount of the lights usage, such as at a camping spot... Replacing the 212-2's up front gave me a TON of good quality warm white light. It's a little less yellow-orange than the 212-2's, esp. with the engine off, so I'd say a 3000K rating is just about right, and with a nice spectrum overall. It's almost as good as a name brand indoor / 120v AC warm white bulb, IMO. Map reading is much easier, which is great for my gettin' old eyes! The disadvantage is that now there is much too much light to have even the passenger side on while driving at night. There's no manual dimmer function for the dome lights, so if I'm driving and wifey needs to get to something (or vice versa), then the aftermarket light is further back and less bright. :-) Fade out of the LED lights cuts off a little more abruptly at the end of the fade, than do the 212-2's, but it's not a problem. I've noticed no problems with flickering, etc., but, again, the dimming function in this SSV version of the Tahoe has been defeated. That all said, I may well try out some even lower current LED bulbs here -- I see some on desertcart rated at about 1/2 the lumens and just 0.9 watts which would be only 0.07 amps. If those behave, I may put one of the lesser bulbs in the passenger front position and two in the middle dome lights, leaving the stronger bulbs over the driver and over the cargo compartment. These bulbs may have some good possibilities for emergency lights that take 211-2 or 212-2 bulbs, also, IF line voltage cutoff or turn on spikes making it through the power supply are not a problem. (I'm thinking "not", as good quality home LED bulbs seem reasonably resistant to "everyday" line voltage variations. However, check with the manufacturer...) Update: 10/5/2024 -- These bulbs have been in the Tahoe for almost a year now, with no problems noted. The brightness without the harshness of lights in the 5000k and up range is much appreciated. These are probably brighter than need be for the 2nd row seats (middle dome lights), but, until I add something else in the rear for camping uses, the work pretty well in the rear dome light positions too - the only issue being that they do draw more current than some lower lumen lamps, so you don't want to forget and leave them switched manually "on". I did edit my original review slightly for clarity and accuracy, tonight, but, none of those impressions have changed significantly. Overall, this is a good product. It is not "the cheapest", but the price is reasonable for the performance. I'd like to see the seller offer a 10 or 12 pack, or some other quantity discount. :-) Review: Great quality! - Great quality!

Powerful bright and color temperature 3000K is correct per described, not too cold, not warm. Very happy with the purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value and excellent color temp. *by T***G on February 1, 2026* Ok, pretty happy with these bulbs. The color warmth is just about perfect, so they are not annoyingly blue. But also not too yellow/orange. Brightness is more than enough for the purpose, but not so bright as to be painful if behind a stock diffuser. And so far no random blinking. And I haven't noticed any 'bulb-out' messages in my car yet. Still too early to say out long they will last, but at this price I would be happy if they just lasted 1 year. And the fit was totally fine. I used these for interior lighting and for the license plate illumination. It's perfect for trunk or rear seat lighting. And is a bit overkill for the license plate purpose, especially if your car uses too bulbs. But at least every cop that follows me will be able to read my plate super easy! (and it lights up the road behind me a little bit as a bonus. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alopee DE3175 Led Bulb Warm White 3000K 1.22 inch 31mm Festoon Led Bulb Non-Polarity Error Free Replacement for Dome Light Map Door Trunk License Plate Light, Pack of 6, DC 9-28V - Alopee 30 Pack 194 LED Bulb Warm White 3000K T10 Wedge LED Bulb 5SMD 5050 Chips 168 LED Bulb 921 2825 LED Bulb 158 501 W5W Bulb LED Interior Car Lights Dome Map Door Trunk Light DC 12V - Alopee 194 LED Bulb, Soft Warm White 168 LED Bulb, 921 2825 LED for T10 W5W 175 501 Non Polarity Replacement for License Plate Light Map Dome Door Trunk Light 18SMD 3014 Chips, DC 12-24V, Pack of 4 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/361339785-2016-9smd](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/361339785-2016-9smd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
