I read through a lot of the reviews but never really saw if these work in a vehicle? Making a band bus. Do they dim and/or go to all white? Thanks!

I don't think they would work in a vehicle unless you had some sort of an adapter. I'm not electrical literate - sorry. Yes - they dim on and off but do not go to all white. Hope this helps.

They do dim. The controller that comes with the lights only dims in discrete levels. I don't know if you could use one of the analog dimmers to additionally control the brightness, but the remote is good enough for us. The warm white question is a good one--it's something I was hoping for as well. You can use the remote to set 'DIY' levels, and adjust the RGB levels independently. Taking out some blue and a little green I've gotten to a pretty good warm white. It's not quite as pleasing as the 2700 K Hitlight strips that I have, but you're not stuck with only pure white or the other colors shown on the remote.

Hello Mr. Curtis. I bought these a while back and found they make your headlights "whiter". They have a very light hint of blue. These ARE NOT even close to HID intensity. They are slightly brighter, but not significantly. I would try Phillips Crystal Vision bulbs. They are about as good for 35 rather than 50+. I bought them and had them burn out within several months after use... I'm not sure if it was something I did or if it was just a bad batch. A friend of mine also had some really good luck with ebay bulbs that were "XEON" or something like that.Here is how they looked in my car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3965245/2003-hyundai-accent/photo-gallery/ Hello Mr. Curtis.

I have them installed in an 81 VW rabbit with updated wiring from a 98 Jetta, and I have no issues, they plug right into standard sealed beam plugs and project a bright steady light. No flicker issues. For the price I'm guessing there's some fancy wiring/circuit board inside the light. They are a I heavy quality feeling unit.

wish I could be more helpful, but I don't dim the light in the traditional sense. I use dimmer X-10 modules to turn some lights fully on and off. What has happened over that year or so is that the light began to flash when not in use. My experience with other LED lights tells me that the loading circuit within the lamp has failed (an artificial small load to simulate standard bulbs to controllers). To not go crazy I put the lamp on a relay switched X-10 module.As far as color in full on performance, without an instrument, no one would see a color shift.hope that hellps.

I was not impresses with the lights at all. They are fine for tail lights, but the blinker and turn light is hardly noticeable. Very poor lights in my opinion. No response when I tried to contact the company. I do not recommend them at all.

I have tried them in a 97 GMC and in a 04 Buick, would not work. I think maybe the dimmer may have something to do with it. I have used them in locations without dimmers and they work fine.

I use them in my new f150 and the interior lights dim to off after door shut. They don't dim smooth, rather in several grades of dim, but yes they do kind of Dim may not be as adjustable as you would like. For the price it's worth a try

Dear Toni , Most of these units will go bad sooner or later. I bought them because my son needed them for his bar opening.Make sure you buy extra "white" receiver boxes,these fail very soon.Yes the single color should dimm.The product is O.K. if you cut them up to use for small projects.

Dean, These light boards have voltage regulators built in to them so they are designed to be dimmed. The dimming will not harm the LEDs. Thank you for your purchase, Joe Brignolo, Owner, Cabin Bright

They are quite bright! Unfortunately there isn't a brightness control. If your case has a large side window and you don't want it to be very bright then you might want to try another product and or a different color. The blue ones put out a whiter glow then the picture suggests. Also the cables are a bit short so if you don't know how to cut and extend the wires you might have to look it up. Hope this helped!

I have them in my TSX and they are bright but they don't cover the area 5'-8' behind the vehicle. I found these same lights but with 50/50 LEDs that surround the housing. Look for those.

I used the(white) ones for the reverse lights. If I were to use them for the brake (red) lights, I would get the red ones. The ones I have that I using for back up lights are very Bright white light....

They appear to be alright with a spot but I am only using them with bright LED spots. Sorry. I don't mind testing it out though.

So, I got the 6k Crystal White bulbs and they look very blue, then I got the or 5k OME White (can't remember) for another car and they look much more white and brighter. Go much lower than 5k and they will look yellow, but the higher the number the less light (lumens) is projected. If you go 8k they will be more blue / violet and dimmer.
