Completely LED'ing Your Car
Well folks, my quest for a 100% LED'ed car is complete. The following info might be useful to you if you want to follow my route with ease:
The following can be found @ V-leds.com
2 Map Lights - 194 bulb
2 Courtesy/Step Lights (on front doors) - 194
2 Passenger Seat Lights - 194
2 License Plate Lights - 194
1 Trunk Light - 194
1 Glove Box Light - 74 bulb
The following can be found @ autolumination.com
2 Vanity Mirror Lights - 31mm x 5mm (look under the title Vanity 3 Mini LED SMT Festoon)

I did this within a few weeks of buying the car. The yellowish lighting had to go.
The white LEDs have held up to 2 years now and still look great.
Great mod... not expensive and makes a drastic change for the better.

yeah, i have no idea why i waited 1.5 years to do this. it looks soooo much better. if you guys are bored, you can go to my "garage" and take a look at what white LEDs will do for your car (which IMO does wonders)
I can't figure out why I haven't gotten around to this myself. I checked out your pics and was wondering exactly what type of 194 bulb did you use? There appears to be quite a few white type 194 bulbs available.

I used these for the map lights:

I used these for the rest of the car (minus the license plate)

These were for the license plate:

and yes, Csquared, you are correct that you will lose the fading out of the lights, but it is something i am willing to live with.
