Upgrade Cabin lights
Has anyone upgraded the interior cabin lights of their GL? These are the standard yellow lights when the doors are open or have the vanity mirrors open. I would like to upgrade those yellow lights to LED 5k daylights.

Yes, most of interior cabin lights are wedge 194 bulbs. Let me know your year and I'll pull you exact bulb specs

Ok easy. All your interior lights use our 194 wedge LEDs

These are two stage bulbs with ambient mode for places like footwells. Challenging and expensive to fit full dimming capability in such a small form factor as therest not mich real estate.

Yeah, they are bright which is what most are after, but it's directional brightness. It's a valid point though and depends on what you're looking for.

No pics on the light bulb upgrade. Great Panda build by the way, I'm looking to do the AMG tips too.

Sucks on the accident, I'm sure you got her back looking like new again.

Low beam is the one that really irks me. At the premium luxury price, there shouldn't even be a halogen option. Really cheapens the car look.
