15 LED Board Map and Dome Lights
I finally upgraded the interior lights to LEDs. Got these 15 LED boards for the dome and map lights. Have some 4 LED bulbs on the way to switch out the door panels. These are white LEDs. Took all the pics without flash so for some reason they look blue in the pics.

Came with three adapters.

I rounded the edges for a better fit

Came with 3M tape on the back for easy install

That's nice! I just did the maplights myself, I went with 9 LED boards to try it out and decided it was too blinding. So i'll just throw the boards in the rear domes and install small bulbs with 7 leds each for maplights.
If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get those 15 led boards, as I'm looking to use one of those for the trunk

If i use the flash i will get a similar pic like yours but I took the pics without flash. It was the camera that was showing it blue. Changed the ISO to fix that issue. here are some new pics. These are also without flash.

Wait woah?
Mine is without flash...
You can see that it is without flash because of the shadows in the corners of the picture...
That is a really bad post on my behalf
:selffacepalm: I'm sure that your pics do not serve the lights justice.

Maybe this will give a better idea of the brightness and color. Again these are in complete darkness. I couldnt find my tripod for my DSLR so pics are a little shaky.

IMO those are just a little too bright. I would have gone with something a little darker or less lighhs. Although I would also like to see blue. Overall nicely done.

I didn't think of those, but that's a great idea. I've got regular red bulbs in mine (for the Type S).

When you change to the LED bulbs, does it change the rate in which they dim? They look good though, already ordered the 194 bulbs (a whole bunch for my TL and my Celica....)
Thanks,

You can try these. These would be hell of a lot brighter than the ones i have. Bigger LEDs and 5 of em.

Zsameer, these are a straight swap out too for the OEM bulbs, isn't that correct?

I have ordered new 9 led bulbs for the door panel in blue. going to probably put a reflective material in the back for good light output. Regular bulb works good in there without any reflective material but leds not so much. Will post the pics when I get them in.
