I Need Leds!!!!

alrite ive been dying for some new interior lighting. ive been researching and it seems pretty hard??? i read about needing to do soldering??

http://www.ledautomotive.com/OrderInfo/99-03TL/

i went to this website, and so far im really interested in pretty much all the non soldering LEDs, the dome lights, map lights, gauge clusters, and courtesy doors.


1. does anyone have these? how do you like them? are they durable and wont die on me in a few years?
2. should i go with blue or hyperwhite? i want blue but i heard you wont be able to see shit? how is the white?? im not reading in my car or nothing, is the dimness very bad?
3. do you think it would look weird if i mixed and matched? i really want blue on the doors, but maybe hyperwhite on the map lights?? should i just say fuck it and go all blue?
4. please post pictures!!!

haha the pics arent mine. they are from the website i posted above. and the ones in the pictures are the ones that require NO SOLDERING

the only LEDs that need soldering are the ones behind the gauges and dash, like the moonroof controls, reset switches, etc.

I went on ebay and bought those 50 LEDs and resisters for about $20 and custom that into my whole dash, cluster, and doors. Saved alot of money but you have to know what you doing.

I did my whole thing in hyper white LEDs, but the filters on the buttons and climate control make the light beam out a baby blue, so im still trying to learn how to remove those filters. The best color to go is blue LEDs if you dont want to remove those filters because even if theres the filter there, it will still come out blue.

The hyper whites look nice It's got blue/purple tint....Its bright....but not too bright where you cant see out of the window....I drove home from work with the maplights on...no problem at all......other drivers were looking in wondering wtf it was......Looks hot! ONly thing that sucks is I have to manually turn on maplights....When I lock the doors the dome fades out but the maplights stay on if I dont manually turn them off.....sucks! So the only LED light I have is the dome which is a 6LED which isnt bright.....Most cars maplights front lights dim and turn off, why doesnt the TL's???
