Blue LED Interior
Some people are asking what the LED interior mod looks like so here is a pic I took tonight with a tripod. These are 9LED Hyper Whites but as you can see, have a very strong blue light from them...
Its really not this blue in person, I think the pic exaggerates it a lot but it gives you an idea of the brightness
No photoshop on these..just what my camera picked up.

Xtin, not only is your camera fantastic, but the colors are deeper and richer cause of the longer night time exposure shot (see how the normal houselight looks in the bottom pic?). That top one is simply beautiful.

sweet! I just ordered all the bulbs for the TL from Brian at tec-toyz.com the other day. 11 bulbs for $71 shipped. These replace the map lights, rear domes, center console, glovebox, front door courtesy lights, license plate lights, and backup lights

I already have the lights from Tec-Toyz... But like I said, I can help you do the rockblocker when you want to. My inlaws are in town this weekend, but what about Sunday afternoon?

I am aware of that. ckya mentioned that its white LEDs in front. I was wondering if we can see more of the parchment interior with JUST the blue LEDs... especially when its dark in the background.

hey guys - so as most of you know, I'm getting my RBP/Parchment/Navi/Stick/06TL this monday the 17th and love the LED interior lights, been speaking to xtin and she's given me some wonderful advice.
I'd also be interested, with parchment interior, should we do BLUE or WHITE LED's? would blue make it look tacky?

to be honest with u, it looks a bit weird...for me...kinda got used to it afterward...and it really depends on the color of the LED...i ordered 2 different leds (6led and 9led) and they have different blue. also the blue can vary with different camera with different white balance setting and exposure.
one more thing, if u notice the driver and passenger seat, the color is different becuase it's different white led...passenger one has more purple tint on it sumhow. it's more noticeable with longer expoursure.
i will try and take some pics with all blue leds next thusday when i'm home

Thanks for the heads up. I am waiting for jmbnova to post pics as well. Thanks!
BTW, just curious, are you male or female. That pucca hanging on your rear view got me thinking. Ha haa.. I'm male. I had a mashimaro hanging in my last car.
