I don't have any pics handy, but I put blue LED's into the mirror, footwell, and shifter spotlight locations in my LMB '07. I like the look, a lot, but don't plan on having your passenger read a book while you're driving at night. It's also kinda disturbing if you have orange juice in a clear container, blue light on orange liquid makes it look brown

BTW, what's a "yout"

Kind of hard to take a meaningful picture of, but I have changed out all interior lights to white LED's. ALL interior lights, including the visor vanity mirror lights. Sidemarker lights and rear license plate lights have also been changed out to LED's.

The LED's for the interior make a HUGE difference in both the looks and the available light. Very good mod.

I think I saw your car on the DC. How did you use 3157 bulbs in the cargo lights?
