Cargo LED replacement

I have ordered those recently (your link Se7enLC) but, after reading this, why not just totally bypass the bulb adaptor and connect it directly to the incoming wires in the dome cluster? Do you know what gauge the wires are from the LED panel to that bulb adaptor? If they are less that incoming OEM wires, they can be wired (soldered) straight from the LED panel with the same wire gauge....

The only time I have experienced "melting" the bulb sockets was when I was using higher than OEM Wattage bulbs in headlights. I have "cured" that issue with using heavy gauge harness and ceramic bulb sockets. Since then, none of my bulb housings ever melted again.

I would also like to see what acutally "melted" ... as earlier posted by another member of this forum....

I think when I get home today I'll pull the bulb out and inspect it just to make sure I'm not seeing any melting/charring. I wonder if other adapters can be sourced that are made better.

Thanks... I've ordered that 10 LED panel as well, based on your review(s). When it gets here, I may just bypass the bulb socket and wire it directly to the cargo dome light - to the wires that feed that dome light. If there is any heat generated by LEDs it's typically at the base of LEDs/diodes and for that, they should have some kind of heat sinks...there shouldn't be any heat generated down the wires...I would think.
