I did exactly the same thing, Polarg bulbs for all interior lights except for the rear dome lights which I used a LED festoon bulb. I also used Hoen LED bulbs for the license plate lights. I use Polarg for the headlight eyelid lights which complements my bi-xenons nicely.

The puddle lights light the pavement very nicely and much whiter and the trunk interior and lid lights looks really nice at night.
I really like the cleaner cool white look a big improvement from stock.

Could you tell us how to change the license plate lights? I have been wanting to try but was afraid that I might break the plastic cover.

You have to go through the trunk. Take off the pins that hold the trunk liner in then it will be easy eo get to. Follow get Thangs DIY.

How did you change the trunk lid light? Does it just snap open?
