LED dome lights

has anyone ordered the red led dome lights from ebay for around 20 bucks......i want to know how they look and see some pics if possible. And it states that its a set of 2 so i want to know if thats enough for the front and rear dome lights, i doubt it tho because the front has two lights and so does the rear if im not mistaken.

lemme know

I think you'll have to order 2 sets...for both the front and back.

you'll have to order 2 sets... and do a LED search theres someone on here with red LED interior lighting... it looks sick but it does make it look like something out of the red light district...lol

but it also takes away all possibilities of looking for anything that u might drop inside the car cause the red is kinda dark...imo

Hhaha... amsterdam!! PM msala.. he did red in his interior.. not a fan because it no longer functions as domes or map lights anymore.. more like mood lighting because its not bright enough. Nothing like pure plain hyper white IMO.

I did a wedge and a 6 bulb first and it was very weak. I'm now running an 18 bulb front and 12 bulb rear tower's.(tight fit) 4 bulb's total are needed for front/rear dome's. The red is dimmer than white but functions just fine if I need light and I love the look.....

The blue looks nice, I have a light interior. Get compliments on it. But it is hard to find things in the car at night.

just installed red LED in acura

I bought the same exact lights for both the rear and front dome lights in my 08 Acura tl type s. I actually love it but I am a girl and most guys think its tacky. And yes it takes 4 bulbs two for the front and two for the back. I got mine from www.customcreations.com

How many bulbs are they in total for the interior of a type S??? I'm going for the same Red look since I believe it will be difficult changing the already red lights that come with the type s to blue.
