So far so good.
These are the only ones I am missing right now from my interior.
I also need the Trunk LED bulb replacement.
Mirror Puddle Light will be great.
I think that take care of all the yellowish regular bulbs in the car. With out making changes on the headlight and tail lights.

I have done already:
door entry
Map light front
map light back
door sill already came with the car in white light.

Anything missing inside? that I miss.
Thanks

Here is a list of all the bulbs
City Lights=168 (T10 LED) I used a 38-SMD 360 Degree White bulb and it looks great with my 4500K 55w Low beams/4500K 35w Fogs

Puddle Lights=168(T10 LED) I used a 16-SMD 360 Degree White bulb but I would go bigger...maybe 21-SMD (make sure it's a 360 degree bulb)


Map Lights=168 (T10 LED)
Dome Lights=579 (D42mm LED)
Door Courtesy Lights=194or168 (T10 LED)

Bulb Guide:

I bought all my bulbs here and I'm verry happy with them:

I just got almost all the LED's needed on ebay, less than 70 shipped.

Only issue is that the rear dome light bulbs are more purple/blue than the front ones. Still trying to figure tha tout.

Brociouz wrote the ultimate guide to LED replacement. It's the bible for the BRIGHTEST LED's. Don't forget reverse lights

I listened to Brociouz and got these.....http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68086-1-3.html. Don't regret at all. They are very very bright but that's what I want And yes, listen to Sffd103 for the reverse lights http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/P...26829-1-2.html. They are expensive but definitely are worth it!

I just want to change the trunk and Puddle bulbs with regular white LED bulbs, which would you say do the job?
I read all your post but it is all toward super bright or blue.
I am getting confused at this point with all the offering.
I will go with V-led but which will it be for regular white(not super bright).
For Puddle and Trunk only?
Thanks for the advise.

Well the super bright LEDs in my guide are white; did you just want something not so bright? And what kind of white did you want? 5000K or 6000K? 6000K has a slight hint of blue.

I want not so bright and more on the white side so that will be 5000k.
Thanks
