Interior LED's

Where do you mean? Like just replacing the normal lights for LED bulbs or do you want to light the interior of your car like a Christmas tree?

i was considering changing the standard bulbs to LEDs but i thought better of it.. But then again i dont want to light up my car like father christmas is having a field day.. i was thinking of a few subtle micro leds in my doors without it looking tacky.

Could change the standard yellowy interior light bulb for a whiter/crisper one.
With regards to ones in the door etc. I think it might look quite good so long as they aren't too high a wattage you only want to create subtle lighting to the handles etc. I presume.
Would just have to be a good job.
Others have gone for footwell neons etc for interior lighting. This can look quite good but has been played out a bit now.

Yea im not going down the footwell route, i want to keep the interior mostly standard also. I was thinking about putting them in the armrest pockets on the door so they point upward so you get a slight blue glow. Operate them on a switch or they may potentially drive me mad after a while.
All easy enough to do

Pointing up would be wrong because then you can physically "see" LED/bulb etc.
Would be better on the inside so you cant actually see the lamp but still get the same desired effect.

I think the blue neon in the footwell above actually doesn't look bad at all.
