I really want to upgrade all the bulbs in my car to LEDs. I was looking at the LED kits on bavauto.com. In the title of the the item it says "6 interior lamp upgrade". Then in the description it says that each kit only replaces one bulb.

Does this replace six lamps in the car? Or is it just for one light like it says? Either way, it sounds misleading to me. So i figured I would ask you all. better safe than sorry.

And one more thing. Will this kit fit all of the interior lights in the car?

+4 on John (brabusw209amg). I have his full interior LED kit. It replaces all of the factor interior light (front and rear dome lights, front passenger lights, glove box light, lights above the sun visors, all lights under the doors, and 2 in the trunk).

The results are beautiful. The interior is dramatically brighter and the hue of the lighting changes from yellowish white (OEM) to pure whte/bluish white.

+5 (just to keep count)

Gene, you missed this one. The ultimate INSANE LED Interior set (from brabusw209amg also). Why get normal LEDs? If you can have this.

I'll join the chorus. The brabus 17-piece kit looks great and installs in minutes. No guessing--there is a bulb for every light, including the glove box, trunk, vanity mirror, etc. Send John a PM. You won't be disappointed. Plus, he stands behind what he sells and ships super fast. With those e-Bay vendors, it's a crap shoot. BavAuto is a good company, but you won't get personalized service.
