Sylvania also make a 0.5W blue 194 (the 194B). If I owned your blue car, I’d see how that looks for the foot wells. BTW congrats on the Glacier! That is such a sexy color for the IS.
I have red interior so I’m going to see there is a red led option. Otherwise, I’m going with the 0,5W white LED. This LED conversion business is contagious!

I saw the blue ones, while buying the white ones....and debated buying them. I use to own a STI with blue led floor lighting. You could barely see the floor. It was more like mood lighting.

Thanks. I really like Grecian Water too. Here's a better pic.

I agree, it's definitely contagious!

I took a chance with the red leds. I like it - it feels like an extension of the red interior yet it is still functional. It’s subtle; it will take my wife a long time to notice.

The red LEDs look awesome, with your colorway! That was a great decision!

This looks so much better than I could've imagined. Did you by any chance capture a picture of the white in the other footwell so we can see side by side? Thanks for sharing

I agree - given the red interior, the red LED ambient lighting is a good match

I had one of them installed for about 3 seconds. The blue looked absolutely awful. It was definitely a turquoise color.

I went straight from incandescent to red. I never got white leds and never took before an after pics. So sorry! I will do that going forward with any mod.

Bummer. Sorry that didn’t work out.


I love the way your F Sport door light turned out though! I am tempted to get a red flea bay light but I am concerned about reliability of cheap electrics. Is there a “reputable” brand, do you know?

Thanks.
I bought an extra set in blue, just in case. The original door light housings seem to be of a lesser quality, than the projectors from eBay/China.

I love how clear and sharp the F Sport logo is from the projector. The blue and white really pop! I actually look forward to opening and closing the doors😆. It's definitely a conversation starter.
