What did you replace the door ones with? They look brighter than the ones I have in my car.
I haven't replaced the map lights yet...but when I do, it is going to be with super white (the dome light is blue). I'd like to at least have a bit regular light if I need it

I personally have the hyper whites and I like the look. I'm not a fan of putting in colored bulbs in places that shouldn't be colored. But at least they match your car.

My buddy just got a '00 BMW and it has a kind of deep bronze color washed over the center console. It's about the most elegant lighting I've seen in any 'inexpensive' car. There are jsut two small slits in the headliner console with the led's behind to narrow the coverage of the led's.
I guess I haven't seen the ones you listed, but I think it's the same thing you are referring to. Looks awesome.

pop the clear cover off with a small screwdriver (careful or you will mare the plastic).
the silver casing will just fall out. free access to the bulbs

I bought mine from superbrightleds.com, just picked white ones. Shipping was extremely quick as well. I believe that they have some new bulb models which are even brighter.
