Interior Lights
Im going to change the interior lights to LED Blues. I just want to know if anyone else has done this and what tools i will need. will regular LEDs work also? i just dont want to F my car up since i just got it. but i think the blue will look good in there to match the exterior. any help with this would be great. thanks guys.

i ordered them today in uv blacklight...pretty good price and a couple of friends of mine have these bulbs they are really good. i ordered 3 courtesy lights and 1 dome light for $21 including shipping
*edit* and no you dont need any special tools...probably a flat head screwdriver and thats it

I did Blue, but it was kind of a disapointment - no matter how much power you put in, it's not 'bright' it just looks, well....blue.
I ended up with two ONE WATT leds in the maplights, and though looking at the leds themselves would take you retinas out, the light inside was never very satisfying......
Switched to some strong cool whites throughout, and now people parked alongside comment on how 'farkin brite' the inside lights up. I think I'll keep the whites.
(Tip - When you change the 194 type bulbs at the bottom of the door, it's too easy to push the whole socket back into the door, and that's the momma of all bitches to fish out.)

Wait.... 
I already answered this in your OTHER thread about the exact same thing.

my response:
Treaven, I realize you are new here so you probably have not read the Forum Rules of Conduct but I suggest you familiarize yourself with them as there are some important rules in place that should be adhered to.

I changed all mine- tools a screwdriver with microfiber cloth over the end of it. Oh also if you don't install the LED footwell kit it won't be very bright but in the end it does look very cool.

very nice!
its probably the easiest thing you can do
all you need is a flat head screw driver to pop off some of the cover and its a matter of pulling out the bulbs.
the only tricky one is the map lights.
that one requires removing a couple screws and then trying to pop off a tab which can be really tricky. but good luck and cahing to LED really makes the interior look clean.
