I tried putting led for the p car's interior. Ended up not liking and putting back the oem's. Preferred the classic cool look for the interior.. What do you guys prefer?

I don't care for them. When its dark I prefer a soft, warm, dim light rather than a blinding white of LEDs when I get in.

I'm in the incandescent camp too. Tried the LEDs and found them too bright and too white.

No. What's the purpose. The lights are only on for seconds while the door(s) are open then - off. There's no point in worrying about something that has so little importance to the operation of the car.

I prefer the LEDs - much more clarity - if you need light then why not light it up. I have them in the interior, glove box, engine bay, trunk, side markers, license plate. LOL

Thumbs up to LED or not Led... that is the Question

I actually prefer Dim lights, like the 2 Small Amber Red lights located near the Rear View Mirror of the M5 that shine down just aft of the Shifter.

Those lights made me randy....

But, I do like the look of led's on other vehicles not belonging to me.

Leds on the exterior are nice and besides that, save electricity and provide safeety. I am more mentioning the interior of the car. This is just a trivial post of getting what most people like. Its a sharing of opinion.

I have to say I'm a huge fan of the LED's, not only because we sell them but because they offer a cleaner look in my opinion. LED's have a higher light output and are far more efficient compared to the stock bulbs.

Too bright... I had flashbacks of getting a cavity drilled as a kid. It was traumatic. I'm almost over it 3 months later......

I like the LEDs. The color temperature is high and I find it easier to see inside the car at night, now that my 53 year old eyes aren't what they used to be.

It's more of a white light than yellow and that's what I think the biggest difference is - it's not harsh or anything like that. Agreed with Glassman as also 50+.
