Looks good. Are those blue LED's? Does it put out more light than the stock ones?

They're white, I'm not entirely sure why the picture looks blue. Puts out considerably more light than stock, and its a cool white, not that ugly beige-ish color. Definately prefer it over stock.

why don't you just keep the stock dome light and put some super bright LED's in them?? :roll: The ones I got are so bright it's ridiculous :o

I used these...

and if you happen by those from that site there is another bulb similar that has 3 leds going down the side - take my advice since I bought them first and they are too long :?

That's what I did originally, and I really liked the look, but I wanted something different. The yellowed plastic over the light looked reaaaally bad.

i've thought of just replacing the dome lights a long time ago but never got around to it. do the leds still disperse the light well through the dome lens? or it just a big bright light in the middle of the car?

They're actually mounted on the outside of the lens. I was expecting a giant circle in the middle of the car, but it actually lights up the entire interior really nicely.
