i was looking for discussion about what makes LEDs better in a car that isn't designed with them. evidently, no one wants to discuss that, they just want to talk up an inferior product(even the highest quality led conversion bulbs are an inferior product to using what the car was designed for) just because it looks cool. 'it goes faster' does not apply here. 'it increases road-feel' does not apply here. 'it's safer' does not apply here. 'it's more practical' does not apply here. 'it increases the car's utility' does not apply here. 'it makes the car more efficient' does not apply here. just as long as you're willing to agree to that, i'm willing to say that i did a bad job trying to convert my car's interior illumination and that i'm too cheap to spend money on getting it redone when it's all just for looks anyway. more to the point, if i get a BRZ/FR-S i will be keeping the bulbs stock. odds are if i wanted to resell it, a potential buyer would take my opinion on this over yours, and i'm happier not spending money trying to look cool. |

I will be doing leds for sure. License plate lights are must as well as the interior dome and map lights. If there is a trunk light that will be replaced as well as if there is a engine bay bulb.
Led fogs... That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If your gonna upgrade those please get hid projector fogs. |

Do you need built in resistors these days on LEDs so that they don't throw an error code? I thought only on Euro cars?

I'll probably convert the exterior lights to LED like I did with my STI. But I leave the interior lights alone because I like the warmer colors for my eyes.
I may re-do the lights on the STI. There have been some advancements since and I wouldn't mind some of the brighter bulbs available today. |

What are the sizes of the dome lights and various other interior lights of this car? (trunk)
And does anyone have any links to stores where they got their LEDs that fit in this car? |
