Default Installing Interior LED Bulbs?

Anyone have DIY for installing interior LED bulbs? I have read a few threads that had info on them as well. Anyone willing to post a thread with DIY or lead me in the right direction to the threads already made?

Thanks!

I like HID powerhouse because they have a range of brightness you can choose from. The TitanRR package is the lowest brightness which are perfect in my opinion. I agree though that some packages they sell are way to bright for inside a car. They can be very excessive

I already got some from Sewell but I need a couple more for the footwells. I'll keep an eye out for the Sylvania's.

I went with LP package which I think is in the middle of their range and gives you pure white light.

And because the bulbs are a bit$% to grab - especially the courtesy lights up front - try this to grab the bulb.

Piece of 3/8" id hose - slip it on half way - pull it back to extract the blub.

Bada bing!

We have a quite of few LED options available for the new 2014 IS. Some can be very bright (for show) while others are subtle and average brightness for daily. It also depends if you have window tint as well. A car with tinted windows may make the interior darker and brighter LED lights work well. For a subtle upgrade, our TR and LP4 LED packages are ideal and certainly will not be overly bright. =)
