LED upgrades/conversion
Here are some of my recent LED upgrade/conversion for interior and exterior of my SC... I haven't done anything as far as the headlights and tail lights 'cause I wanna do it when I install my HID so everything would look right... And don't mind my gas gauge needle, I've been tryin' to find out a DIY fix for it, I don't wanna be spending alot when I know I can do it myself...
EDIT* for the people asking me the kind of bulbs I used for this;
This one is for the ODO/time/trip A-trip B buttons on the lower right of the cluster;
1 NEO3-W: 3mm NEO3-x Cool White
This one is for the shifter;
2 NEO5-WHP: 5mm NEO5-xHP Cool White
This ones are for the cluster;
10 T1.5-G: Green
10 T1.5-A: Amber
6 T1.5-R: Red
1 T1.5-B: Blue
8 T1.5-CW: Cool White
This is for the light at the foot pedal, glove compartment, lighter and the ignition ring light;
4 74-CWHP3: Cool White
This is for the volume/thermostat ****;
4 NEO4-WHP: 4mm NEO4-xHP Cool White
This is for the climate control buttons only, currently my climate control LCD is out of lights, but there is somewhere on the threads where he placed a long PCB board of LED's which looks like a good idea that I'm planning to do soon;
3 NEO5-WHP: 5mm NEO5-xHP Cool White
Dome Lights; UPCB http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ecs.htm#photos
Visor Lights; 3910-x6, 39 x 10mm festoon, 6 x 3mm LED
For the visor lights, nothing really fits there, although this size that I chose is about the same length, I just used the cover itself to keep it in place.
Trunk compartment; T10-PCB-WHP9
For the Door step light and license plate lights you can use any of these 194 type LED's; WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs with High Power SMD LEDs - 360 type

I replaced all that ugly annoying looking orange backlight on everything and made them all cool white LED's... I'm still gonna do the park lights and tail lights once I get my HID's and then the ashtray light, thermostat and volume light once I replace the stock stereo with a DVD LCD.. All LED's c/o http://www.superbrightleds.com/

NO OFFENCE
okay
straight up NO offense
BUUUUUUTTTTT i put an LED bulb in my interior light and i hated it!!! i wanna pull it out n revert back to the normal type ...
..normal filament globes just give off a warm loving light.. the LED however... is just garbage.. unless i replace it with an amber colour?
but right now it's a white LED and it's just such a cold, clinical unforgiving shade of "white"
:/
aside from that everything else looks fantastic.. like dash lights and gearstick lights look great!
just - i cannot stand my interior light personally
okay
straight up NO offense

I did the same conversion as you but you went further than I have. I had the same thing but didn't think putting the LEDS on the visors. Good thinking.. Did you put the LEDS in your glovebox too 
I have. I like your LED truck light super bright, what did u use?

The LEDs came out very good. No doubt about it. Just going to throw this out there in case the noobs don't know it yet but luxurymods sells an entire complete white LED interior set for our SCs so you won't have to guess what LED you need to use and it replaces literally every bulb inside the car, as well as the license plate bulbs.
