My TL Light Mods, Please Feedback

My 08 TL Lighting Mods, Let Me Know What You All Think.
*Front Map LED*
*Front Pass LED*
*Int LED*
*LED Light On Ground*
*Front W/Fog Lights On As Well*
*Front LED Off *Don't Mind the Dirt*
*Front LED Close*
*Front LED W/Fog Light On*
*Front LED Again*
*Front Lights On*
*Front LED*
*Same Front Lights (Outside of Car)*
*Two Front Lights*
*Front Door Curt Light*
*Rear Map-Curt Light*
*Same Rear Map-Curt Light*
*Int Rear Light*
*Int Front Light*

I Have LED Underlights for the car as well but they are not installed yet, I have the LED On the Driving Lights but will set them up on the Side Markers when I have time, so when you unlock the car the LED will flash and the underlights will be setup with the door lights to come on when unlocked.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket LED strips. They make the car look cheap unless done right (built into the headlight housing). None of the front end lights match with the LED. I think the blue and all the interior lights are overkill. I would have rather invested in OEM all weather floor mats to replace the ones you have.

Put the led strips in the rear, on the lip of the back seat. It spreads the light more, and it wont get kicked.

Not my style. Way to much blue for me, LED strips look tacky and out of place, but if you like it more power to ya.

This.
I'd lose that front LED strip and than make all your bulbs up front, switchbacks/front side markers the same color.
Interior is a bit too blue for me as well, white would of been nicer imo.

you asked what I think.. I think the front LED strips on the bumper looks stupid. The overly blue interior looks super juvenile like a 17 year old thought it was cool. But hey.... it's your ride. if you're happy with it that's what matters most

you just opened up a whole nother can of worms.
Just like modding the car; washing the car can get addictive.

Ive bought all the correct tools and washing media
then I watched some you tube vids of the "two bucket method"
and voila!

its an expensive hobby as you're always trying new stuff to get your car UBER shiny!

Back to the original topic, I think the blue could look good if it just wasnt as bright. If there wasa subtle blue ambiance kinda light coming from beneath that would look dope.
