Anyone have a source for the interior LEDs that are not 6000K. Everything I see is in that cool/blue range and for interior it’s a bit too much.

What colour temp do you want? Previously one of the items linked is 3000K. I've been making my own since there doesn't seem to be ~4000K options. Combined cool white with warm.

See here from earlier in the thread, looks like they are still available.

Also, still ZERO issues with any of the bulbs I've installed...best time spent ever!

Make sure you get the soft/warm 3,000k vs the bright white 6,000k.

Ive had no problems in the almost year they’ve been in the car, plus they come with a bunch of extras in case a bulb goes out for whatever reason.

No worries, good luck! Swapping out the lights is super simple, and such an improvement for virtually no cost. The LED upgrades all around is something I definitely recommend!

This is definitely worth it, I am glad that you decided to make this change. It looks much better and I am sure that in the night it also lightens the road better, and this is very important for a safe drive. While looking for new bulbs as well, I have found this cool model
Amazon Amazon
for the house, which can adjust to almost any color and it's very easy to change it, using the smartphone, I've always wanted something like this.

The lighting in some cars looks better than the lighting in many houses haha. I don't know if it looks like that only in the photo, but the shades are very nice. You know, there are such nasty shades of yellow that the eyes get tired faster. And your lamps are a warmer yellow hue. Although it would be worth seeing it live. I have high eye sensitivity. Sometimes I'm surprised that I really got a license and have been driving for 10 years. Driving at night is terrible, because the headlights and traffic lights merge into one. Recently my son bought a smart bulb https://www.vont.com/product/vont-bu...s-smart-bulbs/. I like the functionality of this thing, but it causes me physical pain.

Have any of you swapped the console to LED? I'm looking to replace all of the heater, diff, suspension, etc bulbs but I can't seem to find the correct LED to do so.

Front and rear turn signals were the thing that confused me the most with the hyper flash and resistor discussion. I just used the Lasfit CANBUS leds and no problem! I still see posts with people using resistors but they don't need to! These are the ones I have:1156 P21W 7506 CANBUS ERROR FREE LED TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BLINKER BULBS | AMBER YELLOW, 2 BULBS I do get hyper flash if the turn signal is on for > 2 minutes but this has only happened once. It looks like they have a new alternative that eliminates this, T3 series. I am happy with the originals but would get the T3 if doing it again today.
