Interior LED Lights colours

Heya guys!

I wanna ask you, what do you think about changing interior to red LED's?
I can't buy any because i don't know how will they look.
* i have NBP TL.

Was thinking about blue, then white.... now i want red.

Plus, i have red door sills.

Maybe you saw any photos, videos of different colours on our TL's.?

So far, i only found blue interior on photos/videos.

Also, then what about dash leds?

I really lost... white/blue.
red/red... red/blue...


argh...

Thanks for your help!

I've only had one set, white LED's in my NBP. I love them. I've seen pictures of blue and red and didn't really like them.

Since you have red door sills, do red in the doors and white in the map and dome.

I just put in white LEDs in the map, dome and courtesy door lights. Also changed the license plate to bright white LED (looks kinda blue at night). Looks awesome. I think the red and blue would probably make it harder for you to read something if you wanted to during the night.

To make the rear plate brighter, why don't you install and LED strip so that it looks like an LED is really back there? There is only one bulb in the rear and the strip will def brighten it up.

It is also the brightest way out. My friend put an LED strip in his plate instead of a bulb and it is crazy bright.

Thanks guys!
I defiantly will do licence plate, turn lights, etc, but in another order

As of now, i'm almost sure - i'll go with white.
The idea about white dom and map, and red doors isn't really good i think.
red door sills should look nice with white LED's, no?

also, HP LED's should be better choice? or they too bright?

thx

I bought the HP LEDs for my maps and door...could have gone brighter (maybe 6800K)...they're brighter then stock but I would go brighter...that just me. I think with ur red door sills the whites will look nice.

Why would you want to attract that much attention on your license plate?? I bought a 194/168 LED Radial 4 led bulb. Its makes the car look luxurious...looks very clean and crisp. IMO you could just put that under your seats or something and it'll still look nice.

I originally replace my rear license plate and door panel bulbs with something like these:


but I found these. $10 each, but they are soooo damn bright:


I've had them for almost a year, and they're going strong.

My plate is on hinges so it's floating about an inch off the bumper; the light is going behind the plate, so the plate doesn't get illuminated too much.

Question, did you scrape/remove the blue filter behind the guages? I'm wondering if it'll make the plug and play LEDs brighter.

check out www.ijdmtoy.com they have a nice selection of leds. I bought some from there a little while ago...mainly whites for all over and they were really bright. Make sure you get the super bright ones when you go to buy them. Blues are pretty nice too have those for the doors
