I wouldn't go with the 6. I actually wish the 9LED were a bit brighter, but they definitely look good

Thanks xtin! I might take you up on that someday! My modding experience is limited, and if I ever hurt my car, I'd die! (although if I can't figure out how to change light bulbson my own, I figure I should quit now

Holybear, buy the either the 168/194 or 921 bulbs (depending on the brightness you want, # of LEDS) from Tec-Toyz for the liscense plate lights. If you look in the manual it tells you how to replace the rear backup lights. They are in the same area as those. Just undo the trunk fabric/insulation and you can get acess to the liscense plate lights.

Goodluck

Yeah I installed the white 9LED backup lights and they gave much less light than the stock bulbs...anyone else have this issue or are my lights defective??

Thanks!

The two-tones of light go well together... I like the look.

Those lights from Tec-Toyz as well?

Not really. You wont be laughing when the backs of your thighs get burnt off on that black leather in the summer.

Especially if you dont ever pull the trigger on the tint!

Yeah, that's the next thing I'm having done to my car... after 5 years of Texas summers (where we pray it will only get to 90 degrees) without tint, I've learned the value!

The same bulbs as the others will work in the vanity lights.

I am really interested in the Led interior lights, but I wonder if they are bright enough for actual practical use (like finding things in your center console, etc.).

I have an 06 anthracite/ebony int./with navi/30% tint all around

Do yall have any suggestions with which color I should use. I think I would like the blue but scared it might be way to blue and not practical

Any suggestions or thoughts?

I would think the blue would look better with a lighter colored interior... I opted for white with ebony.

I just did mine all white in the ebony interior. They're bright enough and they look sweet.

Personally I think there's enough blue there already. The white LEDs emit a cooler temperature of light so it's a great mix.

White LEDs with ebony definitely looks good.

I just installed the Bright Whites too... they look great! (They are brighter than they look in the pics - these were the only ones that weren't too blurry.)
