White LED dome lights
I've been wanting to replace the interior lights with white leds for awhile now and just got a chance to work on them. These lights were custom fabricated by myself, I ordered bare led bulbs to make them. Each side took like half an hour to make but was well worth it in my opinion. I initially started out with four leds on each side, but felt that 8 was even better.

Thanks for the compliment. It was pretty basic soldering for the LEDs. It wasn't hard at all, just time consuming. The unit plugs right into the light terminals so its basically plug and play type of deal, no loose wires or anything. The light is pretty bright and comes out white, but I don't know why it came out with a blueish hue in the picture. The light concentrates on the center console and armrest because of the focal lense on the light. It still does retain its fading effect when you lock your doors and arm your alarm system. Its really nice at night!

I have work between 9 and 2 today and take pictures later. I'll take a picture of them side by side versus a plain bulb if I can find one and my PIAA bulb that I had in there before.
As for these bulbs compared to normal LED ones, I have nothing to compare it to so I can't tell you if they are any brighter than what you would be able to buy from somewhere else. All I can say is that you can't fit 8 LED bulbs on a festoon bulb, the most I've seen is four tiny ones built into the festoon bulb.
