looks ok from what i can see, dont use flash, it just washes everything out and then we cant even see your bulbs at all.

I just recently finished "LEDing" my interior. Got white leds in the doors, dome, map lgihts, and dome

Took me 10 mins too, here's the diy:

1) Buy LED bulbs for doors, dome, glove box, trunk, and any misc ones you feel like throwin in

3) Wait for said bulbs to show up at your choice of shipment reception.

2) Pop out old bulbs with small flathead, and or butterknife.

3) Pop in new spiffy led bulbs

4) Stand back and pat yourself on the back with your new spiffy lights in.

Why blue in dome, but not anywhere else? Doesn't really match IMO

^^^the door/spotlights came from a speedshop,the dome was an autozone special(it sux) the door/spotlights bulbs were like $15, the dome autozone was $2.99 for 2 (i bought 2 packs cuz it's a cheap bulb, if you leave it on too long the blue burns off.).i wanted all white but the shop didn't have dome.
