Lights- Pics

I had them put blue led everywhere they could inside and out. I decided to stay with halogen for the main bulbs. I replaced them with better halogens in the lows, high beam and also the fogs. It actually looks better than my truck that has hid. I am very happy with the results, looks and the view at night. The interior LED stay on very low while Im driving. I didnt know it would do this but I like it esp. at night. Is this normal?

The pics are with the high beams off. It just looks like its a blue light from the reflection of the LED. My view at night actually improved from before with the regular halogen bulbs. The bulbs produce a bright white. Also my blinker still flashes amber and I have gone by 2 police so far Im good.

Wow, nice! Glad you liked them. On my GLK the interior LED's do shine on low, but like you said it looks good. Somewhat an ambient lighting lol. I see you went for the extremely blue LED's. Not bad looking, ill stick to the "Xenon WHite"

Thanks I was wondering if anyone else had the LEDs stay on. The white look good also I recommend if you want to see better. I hope I never drop anything under the seat I wont be finding it in the blue fog. Ill enjoy the color for now maybe go with white later. Great ideas on here thanks everyone.

Yeah mine did but only the front interior lights did that. It doesn't completely turn off while I'm driving but it does go off when I lock the car. The rear led didn't do that and these were the same leds. Bugged me so I switched it out with white non-led lights.
