Interior LED Lighting...
Saw some one post the LED sizes in another thread... ordered them on eBay, they came 2 days later...
I am still not sure if I like it, kind of makes me feel like I am about to get surgery done every time some one opens the doors.

They are 6 LED festoons...
I'll let you guys judge... I am going to ask my friends tonight what they think about it... it's no where near rice or anything like that, it just might be "out of place" for the interior of the car...

Couple of notes... it makes all the chrome accents in the car SPARKLE like diamonds... I can't really show you in a picture, but take my word for it. If you have a MY2003+ the chrome trim around the wood on the dash and on the doors will sparkle. All the chrome around the gear shifter and the shiftnob is bling bling... my KeylessGo button is prettyyyy 
The down side of it, it kind of makes the leather look like ****... you can see every single crease, bend, dirt spec, etc... like under a microscope.
As a side note, if you have a pimple or a blemish on your skin and those lights are on... trust me it will be very, very, visible.

Um, I guess all the bulbs that I took out fell on the floor, when I was backing out the X5, I ran them all over... so I guess there is no going back now, is there?

You could always buy another set of bulbs.
IMO, it's the color of the incandescent/halogen (whatever they use) bulbs thta gives it a very classy, elegant, luxurious, warm and inviting look and feel. Plus it doesn't go well with the puddle lights in the doors. The LEDs make it spooky inside.

oxygen, since you have done mods with LEDs, i'm just wondering whether you've considered putting in an amber colored LED for your interior instead of the white ones.
a friend of mine put some white LEDs for his interior lights and it looked horrible with his tan interior. and i told him that maybe amber LEDs would give a similar illumination to the factory halogen bulbs.
