they look nice and are a pure white, but imo they're not that bright, maybe it something to do with my black interior

Yeah, my interior is Tan, so it reflects which makes it brighter.
Hope you like your LEDs.

Do you guys offer the 2 map lights up front? And how about LED licence plate lights for W209s?

Maybe you or the OP can answer this, in the group buy it comes with 2 big LED's (for the dome and rear) and 2 small ones (for the map lights). What would i need for the door lights? 2 small ones like the map lights?

So basically i can place an order from Sonic and ask for 2 extra map lights and stick those in the door/pr map light or are they different?

I want all the lights (door/dome/maplight to be the same company brand, only if sonic could sell em that. i emailed them but they had no answer)

the only reason why im hesitant on changing the dome light is because i like how they slowly light up and dim down. lol the led's dont do that correct?

So how did you get into your map lights? So you've swapped them out already?

So which LEDs did you use for them? I just ordered some 194 LEDs from superbrightleds.com that I was going to try for my front sidemarkers, maybe I'll try them in the map lights instead.

Hook it up with a link if your LED maplights already work!

I put the two smaller LEDs in the door. Never use the Map lights, so I left them oem and didn't even try to open the lens.

i got into my map lights the same way, by prying at them with a flathead screwdriver. be careful though, because i left a few marks...its pretty hard to pop those covers off.

i'll try and get a pic of the led's with the black interior. now that i know that 168/194 are interchangeable with the map lights, id consider putting brighter led's in...but taking those map light covers off is a PAIN IN THE BUTT...so im going to leave them.

i have these wtfbright city leds, so i might buy another pair and put them in the doors. i like the see the ground light up when i open the doors

I decided to go with cool white for the dome that's why they look different. I will take a better one tonight with the black interior when it's dark.
