If you are looking for good interior LEDs, I am a big fan of Diode Dynamics. Their HP3 bulbs are great. But, if you wanted the ability to switch between white and red, they don't have that ability.

I would do DD if they could switch to red.

not a huge fan of the blue/white LEDs; do the diode dynamics provide a softer white similar to OEM? i had some high powered LEds in my 3rd gen and went back to regular bulbs because the lighting was too harsh.

what color temp did you go with for your map lights and have you had any issues?

I'm with you. I sent back DD and went with VLEDS (from Amazon). You get a much wider selection of color temp than DD.

I find 5k the right balance of brighter than stock but not too blue/white.

I actually just went with red for dome (did the LED board) and map lights (HP3).Bought them a couple years ago and havent had any issues. I did do white for the hatch lights just because visualizing is better, but the red in the map and dome do prevent nighttime driving blindness. I agree, some of their white LEDs are intensely bright.

FYI ArcLED has the switchable hatch lights back in stock. Meso claims to be working on the 4R map lights now.

I own the Arclights and fit and finish is piss poor. Replaced the second row dome lights with Meso. Ordered the Meso front map lights when I got the email earlier today. Don’t buy Arclights
