Default Interior lighting change pics?

I've only seen a few but they arent that great of quality. Im lookin to change my mirror lights to either blue or bright white, but want to check out how each looks for a comparison. Thanks!!

Do you have a standard mirror or the auto dim mirror?

The standard mirror has 2 easily replaceable bulbs (212 festoon) but the electrochromatic mirror has 12 LED's that have to be desoldered and then new ones put in and resoldered.

The LED's for the standard mirror (212 festoon or 44mm) aren't that expensive, you should be able to find them for $5 or $6 apiece plus shipping. The only real way to find what you'll like is to buy a couple of each and try it. I think Johnathan (JW Motoring) a vendor here sell the LED's. http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...4&categoryId=4
