Default precision led

Does anyone have experience with precision interior leds? If so how much did it cost, the amount you need, and the amount of labor it takes.

never heard of them. just get the ijdmtoy interior led kit and your set. located in our vendor section. installing the led is pretty simple, plug and play. u just have to remove the lens cover with some prying tool. i used a credit card. that is if your talking about the dome lights.

I got mine from Precision LED. They made it pretty easy to get all the lights you need and you get the interior tools free. They have an install video on Youtube that made it really easy. cost about $80 for all the lights inside and out.

The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the replacement LEDs are not any brighter than the regular bulbs. I wanted my puddle and courtesy lights to be a lot brighter than OEM. But that is on me for not doing better research.

Precision LEDs seems to be the real deal. Eventually I'm gonna go with Precision LEDs and use this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZFtrx2RiaE

I ordered these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details and love the results. I needed two of those packs to do the whole car (courtesy door lights, front and rear domes, map lights, both vanity lights, trunk light, and puddle lights) but had half a pack left over. Josh, if you're near Lakewood I can help you with the install.

One pack will have enough to do everything minus the puddle lights and courtesy door lights. I work in downtown Fullerton. You're more than welcome to come see how they look.

Doesn't anybody else find 95% of LED bulbs to be too blue for the interior? Makes our classy interiors look like a freaking night club... And worse with my alpine white leather because blue and off-white just clashes like crazy.

And for me who hates filament bulbs and loves LED in terms of the technology it's frustrating when I have to go through so many bulbs to find the right color. 4500-5000k range is just right for me, pure white light with the minimal of blue, but most are in the 6000k+ range.

Also there's no need for interior LEDs to be "super" bright. Brighter than stock and able to illuminate well AND still able to look at it directly without squinting or overloading your retinas would be ideal. For outside LEDs, yes, the brighter the better, but not for inside.

Agree with IceIridium on the color. However the ones I installed are definitely white and although it's brighter than stock, it's not annoying or over the top. Very worthwhile mod IMO.

I used white Putco LEDs for the interior, trunk, front doors (with clear cover lens), puddle lamps, and city lights and love them. They are bright white!
