LED interior swap with pics

[fluffeh]

I'm sure there are plenty of threads on this, I just wanted to share my experience. I just did my LED interior light swap (started it at least)

LED map light was a 9 LED panel I got when I ordered a 48 LED panel and got shipped the wrong one.

Old light:

LED:

A bit brighter, but I also much prefer the white light. It's much easier to see things.

Dome light:

LED:

I don't have a picture of the pre-LED lighting, but I can tell you it was a HUGE difference.

For comparison, I have the cargo light which has yet to get an LED (they shipped me the 9 LED panel in my maplight instead of the 48 LED panel I was going to use for the cargo light):

It's a bit messy back there, but notice how the dome light makes everything easily visible, whereas it's hard to see anything with the regular cargo light? Again, HUGE difference.

The entire car was less than $20 and is honestly one of my favorite mods I've ever done. My mom is even asking me to do it to her car. Highly recommended for anyone who has eyes and likes seeing things in their car at night. :thumb3:

Looks good! This one of the first mods I plan on doing. Where did you get the leds from?

I got them from Amazon. The 48 LED panel was like $4.50, and smaller ones are cheaper by a few cents.
