Interior lights Question
I've seen the led posts and ones to fix dimmed lights but I'm trying to find what is the best way to match my instrument cluster lights. They are a nice bright white light while everthing else in the car is a yellow color. Are led mods my best choice? I just want to make everything match better.

I just received some interior LEDs from JWM as well. I'm starting with the footwell lights, glove box lights and rear trunk lights (Vert). After that I plan to work on the door switches and other instrumentation. Those mods looks a little more complicated than the pull and replace mods I've done in the past. Has anyone swapped the A4 shifter light to LED?
Also, for the rear/trunk hatch lights. What is the best way to remove the old bulbs? It seems as though the light housing cover does not want to come off and I don't want to force anything. Is there a clip or other type of release I'm not finding?

Somewhere buried in this Thread is a good DIY write-up from mtndv8 on A4 shifter area. I believe he installed a LED strip and also cut the wave guide down;

I have a few comparison pics of White LEDs and the stock bulbs;
