any with good experiences with LED interior lighting?
i saw these cheap bulbs selling on ebay for like GP $1.99 + 2.99 shipped, sounds pretty cheap and the seller had decent feedback.
my questions are:
1) will it cause idrive errors?
2) is that a cheap price for interior LEDS? what is the general market price or so?
3) any positive experiences with interior LEDS? if you can provide a link and some feedback would be nice.

Thanks.

What sort of interior lighting are you talking about here?

I re-bulbed (is that a word) my entire interior with LED's with no issues. I tried some of those cheap LED's at first. They were kind of dim, but you get what you pay for. I then went to http://www.autolumination.com

I took an inventory of the bulbs that needed to be changed. 4-doors, 2-footwells, 6-overhead (dome/map lights), 1-glove box, 2-visor mirror, 2-trunk. (I think that's all of them)

I checked all the sizes and ordered the ones that say the brightest. Be careful because some of the LEDs won't fit in the dome/map lights since they are in a tight spot. I would stay away from the "tower" versions of those for that area. Stick with the basic sized LED's that are about the same size as the stock bulbs for those, but like I said don't cheap out with the ones that cost $2.49 on their site. They will be dim and not very practical if you really need usable light in your car at night.

The "tower II" versions fit nicely in the doors and are nice an VERY bright, much brighter than stock! It looks great when I open my door and that bright LED is coming from underneath. It turns a lot of heads when people see it.

The tube style bulbs or "festoon" style are needed for the footwells, glovebox, visors, and trunk. Stick with the ones that have the same shape as the stock bulbs. Don't go for any of those wide with tubes on the ends. They will not fit.

In all you will spend around $100-$140 if you do it right. Unlike cheapo LED's these are nice and bright in your car, as bright as stock bulbs or even brighter. Trust me...it looks great in my car.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
