Interior LEDs?
I've seen threads discussing interior LED lights. Which of the stock interior lights are not LEDs? What's all the fuss about? What is it that people are upgrading and why?

All the lights are not LEDs.
The map lights and ambience lights (for your feet, and the tiny ones to light the center console) are LEDs.
The side door lights, front & rear overhead lights, and glove compartment lights are NOT LEDs.

people are upgrading them to LED to eliminate the yellowish color from the stock bulbs. Basically just to look cool. =P.

OK. Thanks for that. More proof that you really have to dig deep to improve these cars.

Actually no, you just have to be 'aware' of the little things, our cars are all cookie cutters with only slight variations in rim/bodykit styles, its the attention to the little things that separate the hardcore from the casual.

if you change the dome light with LED's does it still fade in and out or is it just off and on?
