Hello everyone. Just finished re-doing my interior with white-leds. My camera is kinda weird so the WB makes them look a little blue (it doesnt have a true manual control). Anyways I thought I would post some pics. I also did the license plate and reverse back-up lights. It's really simple to replace, just a few of those plastic fasteners. The glove box light is quite tricky. When removing it, I accidently pushed it up inside, rather than it coming down into the glovebox. I didnt have any tools to remove the dash so it took me quite a while to get it back out. I also did the trunk light, but it's blue. My camera died before I could take a pic but tonight I will try and snap one. I used the LED equivalent of 168/194 for everything. I forget the rules about posting links? Can I post a link to the website?















I didn't get to do the visor vanity. It's not the same LED. It's one of the tube kind. All I have left is the turn signals.

Oh I also did the rear seats but they look the same so I didnt post a pic. I just used a butter knife to pop all of the covers off without scratching them. ..

As long as the links aren't to a competing forum, you should be fine.

Please post up more details regarding these. Maybe a full install article?

Very nice, I've been thinking about doing the same thing, especially the license plate and courtesy lights on the doors.

I bought them at http://www.v-leds.com . I bought a few of them. The wedge base are not very bright. I used one of them in the glove box and trunk. I used the high power bulbs for the interior. The 6 LED style for the license plate. I used the 14 M-SMT for the backup lights. Since LEDs have more of a focused light, I recommend getting a different LED than I chose for the reverse lights. Im going to order the 27 SMT and try it out. It projects very brightly straight back, which doesnt leave very sufficient lighting for the backup camera. Or maybe get brighter lights for the license plate? Im not sure. But I have very noticeable less light on the camera now.

On a side note, the exhaust vid is coming soon, we have been slammed by snow and ice here, been ridiculous.
