Default Quality interior LED lighting that's close to or slightly brighter than stock?

I've been searching and reading LED lighting threads over the past couple of hours and one thing that's common is how much brighter they are than stock lighting. I'm not quite looking for that however. Ideally I'd like to have a quality interior kit or individual LEDs that are at most twice as bright as stock. Does anyone know of LEDs like that? Thanks in advance!

I recommend getting these. Even though they're cheap they work great.

Thanks much for the links, but they all mention being much brighter than stock :/. I think I'll just have to keep on searching.

Get Philips Vision 194 LED, they are nice and reliable without being too bright.

Thanks much Noeh. I'll order a set or two to give them a try and see if I like them.

They are dimmable, thus they fade on nicely? IMO the incandescent stock lights don't match well with the cool white DRLs, xenon bulbs and TFT dash screens.

Just installed the Philips Vision 194 LEDs on the interior and single trunk light and they look great. Used 13 bulbs total. Not too bright and they do dim. Tried to use the Philips Vision 921 LEDs on the reverse lights but they don't sit fully in the base :/. Guess I'll have to return them.

Glad you liked them. for the 921 ones, someone on amazon mentioned they fit after sanding the base a bit.

Thanks for confirming this. I placed an order for these bulbs yesterday based on the recommendation in this thread. Should have them tomorrow. Thank you!

Ah, thanks again Noeh. I found the review and may give sanding them a try this weekend. Worst case the lights don't work still after the sanding but they were only 20 bucks.

Whats the trick for the footwell lights? It is in there good... afraid to squeeze too tight and break the light.

Wasn't any trick when I installed them. I just made sure to pull from as close to the base of the bulb as possible. Maybe try pulling them while wearing Nitrile gloves for some more grip?


Quick Reply: Quality interior LED lighting that's close to or slightly brighter than stock?
