hey Ben. nice..thanks. I changed my interior lights and puddle lamps today with white refactors from ebay. The light looks very nice and white, but I have to admin the dome light looks sort of harsh now compared to the mellow yellowish light from before. It'll take me a few days to decide if I like it, but I think I will.

I think its because of how the "dimming" function is handled. See, LEDs are diodes and should be current driven especially if your goal is to attempt a dimming look. However the circuits built my Toyota were designed for incandescent bulbs which can have a dimming look by controlling voltage. So since we are sticking diodes in a voltage controlled circuit we are getting that stepping effect as toyota probably makes the circuit dim by stepping down a voltage and since LEDs are much more responsive you see the steps rather than a flowing change. So my thoughts are this: its not gonna matter what you put in there, all LEDs will step.
