New Interior Light Bulbs

i exchanged the interior bulbs to white leds. i love how bright these bulbs are, pretty similiar to OEMs, just a different color. sorry for the crappy pics, my camera sucks taking pics without flash.
Map lights - 12led bulb size 921/168
door lights - 1led bulb size 921/168
rear passenger lights - 4led bulb size 921/168
licence plate - 1led bulb size 921/168

OEM bulbs on the right and led bulb on the left.

New 12led bulbs.

Nice cars... and your car looks nice.

How much did that cost you? I'm thinking about doing it and also changing the rear turn signal light bulbs to LED's.

Not usually very keen on DIY lighting upgrades but you did a good job

looks clean with the white car. for the most part, replacing bulbs is the easiet DIY you can do. for the map lights, all you need is a flat head screw driver with a thin cloth to protect the interior. i just replaced my license plate bulbs last night.

hyukki - all the bulbs ended up being around 25 dollars plus shipping. 6 bulbs total.

I changed all my interior lights to red led's. Makes the black interior look blood red at night. Awsome touch IMO.

I did that only last car, the license plate lights go out easy, but the worst was the glove box, our glove box doesnt have a light so no issues there btw is it dimmer? coz the stock lights are pretty darn bright, maybe I should just go for those interior halogen xenon match types.. i cant remmeber but theres a famous brand......
