Thumbs down Interior lights - dome: SE-520B

The SE-520B dome light sucks. Its a hella purple, wannabe black light. No visibility at all. It doesn't say Polarg on the package but Autodynamic claims it is..?

I don't recommend getting the SE-520B.

However, do get the M4s for the map lights and the front door lights! They are really cool! Slightly less visibility with them because they shine a more blueish white color, instead of the stock yellow. But they look great!

When i get home i have to check what bulb i got for my dome light.(i keep the packages) Its got a blueish tint to it but its bright as hell! Its brighter than the stock bulb for sure b/c people have said to me "why is your dome light so bright?"
I put the M-4's in the map lights and the doors and yes they are not as bright as stock but look really cool.

What color is the dome light? I was looking for something brighter but not blue or anything like that, just as white as possible.

That light is one that annoys me cuz it isn't bright enough for me sometimes. I end up turning on the map lights anyway...

Tom,
