Default Poor Interior Lighting Options

I found a low cost option to help with poor interior lighting.
Energizer makes a line of battery powered Vision HD LED head lamps. Starting from 100 lumens to 400 lumens.
These come with a elastic band that I have installed on the visor.
I have the 315 lumen model and it lights up the whole interior when I turn it on.
It can be turned down some but you might consider a lower brightness model.

Just replace your visor bulbs with LEDs. It's a much cleaner and better solution. There are dozens of different choices out there in just about any brightness and color temperature. Here's a 10-pk on Amazon for 12 bucks. Each of these are 360LM:

I put a much lower lumen version in my LC the first day I got it home. I forget the lumen number on mine, but they're plenty bright:

That's a cheap looking choice for such a premium car. Replacing the actual bulbs to high power LED plates like I did makes it 100% discrete and the light source area is the same as the originals.

After evaluating the idea of higher powered vanity LED's, I think I will stick with my idea of using the Energizer LED option.

I don't like the idea of these lights on my face while with the Energizer, I can point it wherever I want or detach it for my convenience. Also they have two level brightness control.

Moreover, in my opinion, sometimes a high cost doesn't equate a better solution and the lights are tucked up with the visor when not in use.

I do realize that you have another solution and respect it but I just wanted to share with others in this forum that there are other options and initiate further conversation about the subject.

I respect other opinions and hope others respect mine.

Thanks, Puertex
