Default Interior Lighting Opions needed...

I'm trying to debate between three different colors for the Entry Lights, Trunk light, ignition, Footwell lights, and dome light


Heres the dilemna

stock yellow is boring and dull

white would look best imo, but i think such a bright color would be annoying

blue would match my theme of 8000k HID's, blue cluster and climate, and blue calipers... BUT has a very good chance of looking extremely ghetto



opinions, please
btw the car is black with tan interior


P.S. sorry for HUGE spelling error in title lol

I recently changed out all my interior stock bulbs and plate bulbs with PIAA Xtreme White bulbs. The look awesome and are very white with a hit of blue.

Where it called for a 2825 or 168 bulbs, the 194 bulb works fine.
The PIAA T6 festoon bulb replaced the stock dome bulb.
PIAA does not make the Xtreme White bulb in a 1895 configuration, so I had to go with the Polarg M17 bulb to replace the stock map bulb.
All bulbs were obtained from www.cardomain.com or www.performancecenter.com

Lastly, my trunk bulb is in what appears to be a sealed or tightly closed box. I didn't change this bulb out in fear of breaking the box.

fyi, white leds are an option but they are not as bright, they come in a variety of colors and bulb applications.

uv will be dim purple, but whites will light up bright. I don't know why you would want that for interior lights though, you won't be able to see anything, unless you're trying to have a rave in your car.

personally..if you can find a black light LED, do those. If not, blue. I have blue led's under the dashes and the back seat in my RX with tan interior and it looks really nice. 19 yr old jew in boca driving an RX...not that ghetto haha...

oh and I have a black light LED tube that i'm going to put under like the shifter on the center console that should spice up the inside a little more hahahaha

i'll post pics later..

Blue ALL over the interior is a bit too annoying to me, but I have seen many people who like it. Not for my tastes....
