If you're doing led's you should probably wire them yourself. But I gotta say that blue leds in your actual lights is kind of tacky. Kinda need to see in the car. You should change the other interior lights to blue leds. Keep the dome and doors white leds. Someones going to need to see in your car and wont be able to with the blue lights...unless you want a night club in the car that is.

For the leds? If you're redoing climate control, then do 3mm 500mcd leds. Window switches can be 5mm or 3mm. But I dont think you wanted to do those. Dome light I would say to use 3mm because im not sure with fitment. Metal Maxima does a lot of work with leds. You could try to contact him for his opinion.

Bulbs do burn out...if they've burnt out 20 times then something isnt right.

Ok well autolumination and superbrightleds are good places for plug and play LED's. If you're doing the dash and swtiches you need smaller 3mm or 5mm led's thay should be bought for ebay (since you can get so many for cheap). If you're putting the led's in the doors and dome you can go to those sites.

Thanks a lot but are the led's from those three sites actually gonna last and produce a good amount of light? Do sylvania and piaa and similar brands make blue LED's?

I am gonna wait until the Ostar LED by Osram is put into automotive LED bulbs to buy some interior LEDs. Those bad boys will let out 200 lumens. That makes it competitive with halogen interior lighting. The brightest LED now puts out 120 lumens.
