I have something in the works that will allow the user to have whatever accent color they want coming from the domelight, but also be able to switch over to the absolute brightest white light available from any vendor. Information soon to come.

It will also maintain full dimming capabilities with LEDs.

It won't have RGB LEDs. But each customer will be able to choose their accent color.

It will make every other LED domelight for this car look like a horse drawn carriage next to a F1 car.

It will be strictly dual function. One accent color which can be any color the customer chooses (red blue green purple pink orange yellow etc) and then there will be a white main light in warm, neutral, or cool white.

Yep. Switched to door, the light will be an accent color (red) slightly brighter than the stock bulb that still dims like stock.

Switch it to ON, the accent turns off and white turns on. It will put out 1700 lumens. A stock hid bulb puts out ~3200 lumens.

There will also be a half powered option that puts out 850 lumens if the former is too bright for some people. And I'm sure it will be for some.

I have red LED's on my dome. I had the whites at first but it was way too harsh. The Red is easy on the eyes, goes with the accent, and the fade in/out still works.

1 week for the prototype. 3-4 weeks for the production boards to arrive.

It will be completely plug and play. The entire domelight assembly will be retrofit. The customer will do nothing but unplug the old assembly and plug in the new one.

What brand led did you get that fades? I would be interested as that sounds much better than my alternatives now.
