Default LED Interior Lights

Has anyone swithced their interior lights with LED's? Just curious if people thought this was cool or if it cheapened the car?

For the over head lights it will work just fine. No it doesn't look cheap.

I wouldn't try the doors b/c LEDs just arent bright enough yet.

I also replaced my side markers and License Plate lights w/ amber LEDs. Both look nice. Not cheesy.

Front parking lights were replaced w/ white LEDs. Looks good. Matches the color temp of the headlights better.

I'll try to take some. I don't have a great camera, so low light shots come out pretty crummy.

Why would you want to? The power consumption or the issue of bulbs burning out, the two primary reasons for going with LED, are non-issues for the interior lights.

I get it - somewhat; I personally prefer the 'whiter light from the LED (and other sources) but would have to see it, or experiment with it to see if it really is better in this application
