    Not me. Been running without the dome covers for quite a good while. Looks funky but throws a much brighter light. Harsh to look at directly, but brighter oa.

    While we're at it though, has anyone found brighter bulbs for their dash? Tried lining the inside with chrome tape but it didn't make much difference, if any.

    yes I have replaced the 1157 bulb with these ones and went back to regular bulbs. Problem was to dull. But it may be that our factory lenses are not made for this type of bulb.replacment led bulbs Copy_o10 These are individual LED and need the proper lense. I will find a complete LED set up and replace the entire light. For now I will paint the light housing white as advised by a wise member of VV and that will be good for now.
