The problem is that even though some of the current LED domelight offerings do fade, none of them fade in the linear fashion and for the same length of time as the stock incandescent. Mine solves this issue the right way. ;)

I see. I know you're not at the finished stage yet, but what are you thinking for a price?

It is tough to say at this point. It is worth mentioning that is not just a board with a couple of wires coming out of it that you plug in place of the stock bulb. This is a full dome light assembly retrofit.

Red-Orange
I put two under the footwells to match the bright orange of the Bespoke stereo - it looks great. my dome is still white but I was thinking that would go same color as well soon --

I say, looks great. Too bad my footwell kit is prewired to my dome, but if i figure out a fix then i may b all over this if the price is right

I guarantee you I can come up with a way to make both work together.

They simply provide power and ground through a pass through harness. It's literally 2 connections. I could make my retrofit plug and play with that kit in 30 seconds.

Halfway down there is a split so as long as i can easily tap into this power safely it should work easy

I say the blue lighting Acree is working on, plus maybe a trip to a shop that does upholstery and see if you can have that stitching replaced with blue. I'm thinking about doing it with my car to match better.

I just thought I might add some more confusion to the fray. I installed the Precision LED's red LED interior dome light in my car. Personally I love it and it highlights the red accents in the interior.

Also, and more importantly, it fades in and out every bit as well as the stock incandescent.
