Here is what I installed for a WHITE looking interior
I frosted all of my LED's with 400 grit sandpaper to help with light diffusion.
Radio = 10x Warm White 3mm 8000MCD LED's
HVAC = 11x Warm White 3mm 8000MCD LED's(I put 2x for fan speed)
HVAC = 2x Red + 2x Blue 3mm 8000MCD LED's (goes behind red/blue dials)
Traction Control = 2x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's
Trunk/Fog button = 2x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's
Pass/Driver Door SW's = 7x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's
DIC = 4x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's (I recommend 3mm though)
HUD = 3x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's
RearView Mirror = 12x White 5mm 20000MCD LED's (No resistors required here)
