Interior LED preference question

I have a 2010 TSX with Parchment(Light Tan) interior. I was wanting to replace stock interior lights with LEDs, but didn't know how it would look compared to stock.


If it looks worse I'm not interested.


I was considering white or blue LEDs or possibly a mix between the two. Just if anyone has personal experience and can recommend which options would look the best.

Thanks

Better and worse are in the eye of the beholder.

A quality LED (like the current group buy) will give you more light to actually find stuff. Blue lights won't help you find that quarter you dropped and you might just get pulled over by the po-po.

Lol i doubt a blue interior light will get you pulled over... unless you are dumb enough to drive around with it on.

For mine, the back seat one is white and the front is blue. I don't like super bright white lights in my face so that's why i made it blue.

I have tan interior as well. Personally, i think white leds look best with this particular colour interior.

As for LED choices, ive used ebay to get the chinese led bulbs and i have yet to find a problem with them. Very cost effective and bright. Ive had them for over a year now and no issues. Cost like 20$ to get them all with extras

i have a complete blue exLED interior. only my trunk lights are white.

i have been pulled over for something else and the cop never said a word.

of course, each locale is different. cops are pretty lax here if you are polite.
and tell them about your concealed carry as the first words out of your mouth.

Do you have a link for photos of the combined lighting? At night preferably.

The only time I got stopped in the last 15 years was for the blue light on my BT headset when BT headsets were still unusual.

SE DC is a different place.

There's a group by going on? And I bought blue and hyper white (has a light blue tint) and as described .. You won't find your quarter with the blue.. And I hate losing quarters .. Hyper White looks classy .. I bought all my bulbs based on a thread here which described exactly which bulbs and ebay user to buy from..

One word of advice .. If you do your license plate too.. Get an extra set.. One of mine just blew after 3 years. .. Not too bad.. But that could get you pulled over if your worried about the popo..
