Any more, and I need sunblock

As some of you may recall, I have an LED setup in my interior lighting. all 4 dome lights, as well as the two door courtesy lights, have each a bulb with 3 high-powered SMT LEDs. my trunk has a 9 SMT LED module. pics of the old setup are below:

interior:





trunk light:



I bought replacement LEDs from a friend recently. these are five, 24 high power LED modules. I left the license plate and door courtesy lights alone as they were bright enough, but i figured my interior lights needed an upgrade.

so here are the pics i took. they're straight from RAW, no processing.

front domes (my map lights have 5 SMT LEDs before the recent upgrade):



comparison with a stock filament bulb (YUCK)



another angle:




rear domes:



rear domes lit:



views from afar:






doors open:

front shot:



trunk shot:





anybody have some sunblock?


thanks for looking

Who needs a garage light when you could just open your car doors.

Isn't it too bright?

I have blue ones from ebay. works fine, but got tired of it and Im thinking about changing it to white ones. but I am kind of worried that it might be too bright.
I am thinking that it might reveal little tiny dirts in the car which wouldnt look so good.

dude that looks awesome, i was thinking of doing these, but feared 1 would go out... they also have some that are twice the side you put on each side... so you'd have double the light output on both sides, dunno if it fits tho rofl
