My Ride: See my signature
At the end of yesterday's meet, John (member Brabusw209amg) installed LED lighting all over the interior of my car. In total, he installed LEDs at 17 different locations. He also installed LEDs to light up my license plate.
All I can saw is WOW!!!! The difference in brightness and in color from the stock lighting to these LED lights is amazing. Now, my interior is bathed in blue/white light when I turn my interior lights on. It is many times brighter than the dim stock bulbs. This is an inexpensive mod that, I think, really looks great in my car.
The LEDs above the license plate also make it stand out much more than the dim stock bulbs. The only caveat is that on my LCI car, they do cause an error message which disappears after you turn on the exterior lights on and off. If you can live with this error message on a LCI car, the LEDs really do make the license plate look much more dramatic in the dark.
Many thanks to John for a great install.
John really knows his products and knows what he is doing.
Here are my pictures of just some of the LEDs that John installed in my ride.

My Ride: A Car
It's time to get the LED interiors too Gene.
Lighting was almost my gateway mod. At first, I told myself I'm not modding my car anymore. Geez...that never happens. I think I modded EVERY car I ever had whether it be small or big mods...except for a Mazda MPV I had b4, it was perfectly stock.
