Default New Interior lighting!

I am going to order my interior lights this week, Here is the setup

I am going to order 2 blue and 2 white Refractor (putting one white in between the two blue) for the front dome light

2 blue for puddle lights

2 blue for door lights

2 white for my vanity mirrors

2 Blue rear dome lights(31mm) Can't decide between Choice 1 or Choice 2 (Trying to avoid hot spots)

Also ordered my Illuminated Scuff plates and clear door lenses.

My only issue is that there are so many variations of 194 bulbs, I would like to know which ones look brighter(for the puddle lamps) and which ones look better for the interior(for the dome lights)

What is everyones experience?

You really like blue, huh?

I have "regular white" HIDs, and it gives a blue hue inside the whole car (especially since I have a black interior). I think that does enough justice to add a blue accent.

However, if you like the club/rave look inside the car, go for it!

Can't wait to see it when you got it done!

I'm interested to see what the puddle lights will look like at night.

Ive got the 9 LED Blue festoon bulbs in the back and they are bright and the 5 LED Refractor blue bulbs in the front dome from V-LEDs.com and I think they look fine!

Good luck!

That interior lighting sounds so cool. Is it possible to see pics of interior lighting set ups???? I didn't even know such color choices were available.

Be careful with those bulbs. They point in one direction only. You maybe disappointed with the way it illuminates.

first.. v-led has great bright lights, but like people posted above they only point 1 way. for your puddle lights, you should check the measurement or the bulb will not fit. i have a picture of my puddle lights. the bulb doesn't point 1 way so its brighter. i prefer those then the v-leds...i dont haven't taken the time to install my interior lights, so wen i stop being lazy i will post pictures up her and my.is! hope this helps
