How does it look? I have the blue series so I think the blue LEDs would fit nicely.

I use white LEDs for interior lighting and license plate because function.
I use blue LED's for the door puddle lights for being cool.

Just ordered a set of mostly red LEDs from diode dynamics based on recommendation from a user here. I got red for everything except the license plate I think. Will post pics after install. Expecting it to turn out really nice with black and red interior and red gauge lights.

No it won't, you're already off to a bad start. Go with white.

I recommend these guys.

I like the white light but to each their own. It looks fantastic, much more light than the stock blub and very clean light. I've had them installed since May and they have not had any problems.

I did the whole car in 6000k white... doors, license plate, reverse tails, trunk, and cabin. After some internal debate I went with brightness 2 of 4 for the dome light and I'm glad I did. You want enough to see, not to kill your night vision.

Not a huge fan of red/blue/etc for cabin lights. I can see using red purely for its functional advantage in preserving night vision, but every time I've seen it it looks oddly cheap. Anyone have pics of it done right?

Look what came in the mail today...

Will post pictures of them in the car, possibly tomorrow. I have no idea how to install them.. has anyone covered this on here in one of the DIY's? The instructions on the back literally say

step 1: Remove old bulb
step 2: Install new bulb

I'm sure it's not much more difficult than that, just need to find out how to remove the covers.

Got them installed today. I wish I'd gone with the brightest options, but overall pretty happy with the result. I don't get the sticky backed mounting method for the dome lights though.. the only flat surface is far left, so they won't be anywhere near centered. Right now I just have them resting against the plastic until I can figure something out. I'm not sure how hot led bulbs get, but I'm a little worried about melting plastic.
