my LEDs
ive had them in for a while now, but finally got around to taking some pics.
i wired them all custom, to a switch (the extra red LED you see) that sits right by my Traction control button. you can see it'* not mounted yet... i may eventually mold it in with the missing buttons where performance shift button and the other options i don't have would be.
they're SUPER bright at night. My dash lights are at maximum brightness for a rough comparison. i want to aim the passenger side ones better so you can't see the individual outline of each LED, and more into the footwell away from the seat.
i also have blue LEDs in my courtesy lights, replaced the control illumination LEDs with blue, and am in the process of converting the overhead/map lights to white LEDs
like? dislike? rice?

If you want a more dispersed light pattern, check around and find a cheap piece of light panel from a drop ceiling. If you check building supply stores, you can probably find a broken one for pennies...use a Dremel to cut it into a cover for your LEDs and fix it in place somehow. It'll break up the light pattern and give you a nice even glow.
i think i got it pretty good on the driver'* side by taking the LED on the far left for example and aiming it to the right side of the footwell so the shape on the ground is not a circle... i don't really want to decrease light output, would the light panel block much light?

Took me a few tries to get mine aimed evenly too. It'* do-able though.
Not much at all. It'* clear plastic, but molded so it scatters light.
Basically, think of your high-school classroom. It probably had the big rectangular ceiling panels, with plastic ones for the lights? The light panels are what I'm talking about.
