Default DIY led thread

I know there are 'kits' out there, but I reckon it would be cheaper for DIY people to buy locally and build themselves.

Footwell area it seems strips are used but also a variety of led stacked bulbs?

The side door panels have multiple bulbs, these seem trickier but some people opt for 3mm leds and resistors?

Rear view mirror has two very hot running but dull bulbs. What do people put in here?

I am more interested in a bright white than colored look on all the lighting.

Just starting to thread to see and get some responses.
