Best Interior L.E.D. Lights

I just bought l.e.d. license plate lights for my car and I like them but I never really see them since I 1) Hardly ever drive at night and 2) I'm never standing behind my car getting gassed out by the rich exhaust smell. Where can I get interior lights for a decent price for my '05 X? I don't want to spend a ton because they're just light bulbs but I want them to be a bright white.

These are my license plate lights. They're not blue like that in real life, trust me.

These are the best, other members will agree and these are white, they have no hint of blue like others do.

I really only need the lights for the cab, not the trunk or even the glove box.

I also have these, one of my license plate LEDs died, and the other is flickering. And on the one that flickers, some of the LEDs on the bulb are dead completely. the rest are fine though.

I used a 12 led bulb, any less and you're going to sacrifice brightness over oem bulbs. I think I picked mine up for like $5 or $6 for pair on ebay.

LED's life are greatly shortened by heat. Thats why they dont last so long as you'd expect.

I've had much better luck with the "SMD" style leds than the typical ones. Haven't had any problems with my map lights, door lights, or licence plate light....but the ones on the sidemarkers on the front bumper burned about about 2x each, with a month or two. I switched to the "SMD" style and they've been good for atleast 6 months now.
