OK, so I had one of my blue LEDs go out in the front overhead map light and thought this was an opportune time to change their color. My wife has never been fond of the blue color when actually using the map light for reading something. Functionally speaking, that is a slight problem, though the blue was pretty sick. So, I went with white LEDs (12-LED from superbright) just to replace the two front map lights and left the others as blue. The photo is a fairly accurate representation of the end result. Personally, I'm pleased with the compromise.

Wow that looks sick, how many LEDs are those in your door and dome?

yatesd

The front dome (map) are 12-LED white. All the rest (rear domes and doors) are 9-LED blue.

ckya

which 12 LED did u get?

That looks really good, another mod on my list.

hey, this is the exact setup i have! (LED Wise). High five.

edit: actually, never mind. my rears are white as well, i think that fits better for me

Another modding itch I want to scratch.

Thanks for the pics! Our cars look almost identical.

I got the 921 12-LED whites from Superbright LEDs . In my admittedly limited looking, these were the first 12 LED 921 bulbs I had seen. Their construction seems durable enough and the light pattern is a little wider (better for this application) than the 9 LED bulbs they replaced. A little pricier than I would have liked...I bought four at $5.99 a pop plus $5 for shipping. They were quick...got them two days after I ordered.

more pics of the fronts?

yatesd

Maybe I'll post some more of the front LEDs this weekend when I have time to get out and take the pics.

The white LED, makes ur car really look clean.

Anyone one have pics of white led for the ebony interior? I have blue ones currently.

yatesd

Exactly...you can tell they appear extraordinarily bright by comparing the side marker lights to what you see with the naked eye in similar lighting conditions.

And Tonywp75, I haven't seen any with an ebony interior, but I visualize in my mind you wouldn't have nearly the same effect.

njzprettyboy

thank you.

Very "clubby" look...nice. A little cigar smoke wafting out the door would complete it!

That looks fantastic.

Tonywp75

ahhh..both so nice. Maybe i just order a set of white and switch back and forth between blue and white.

Thanks for the pics datmrman

datmrman

You're welcome. I was just browsing by and noticed the request.

I've personally seen the (hyper) white LED vs. blue LED with the ebony interior. The blues are a definite eye stopper, but the white is very classy. I think I prefer the white in general with any color interior.

I"m assuming you got these lights from tec-toyz or some online site like that..so is it just plug and play once u get it or do you have to do some soldering or some changes in order to get it to work in your car?

datmrman

You are correct. I haven't seen anyone mentioning soldering. You just swap the LEDs with the originals, though some LEDs will require you to disassemble the car a bit to get to.
