So, I am thinking I want to spruce up the inside of my stock 01 I30 any Ideas? I would like to get some light color wood grain to replace the other accent pieces. I am starting to notice my driver and passenger side seats are starting to rip away. Can the i20s or q45s fit up front?

 

cant give you much help....but lighting is a great way to "modernize" the inside of your car. Changing out Map, Dome, Courtesy door, Vanity mirror bulbs to SMD LED's creates a much more modern look

 

I've seen several threads regarding that mod. What are the best mods and bulbs to buy?

 

I would also love some suggestions on this topic...

 

Me and Joeker got leds at legroom for front and rear passengers. Pretty cool mod in my opinion. Girls like it too.

 

Yep doing leds would make the ride much better. I put some on my moms '00 I30 looks way better especially with the black leather seats

 

Is there a write up for the LEDs? And from my knowledge they are also relatively inexpensive. Just don't know if you have solder stuff, rewire anything, or that it's a "plus and play"

 

Most of the LEDs are plug and play. With led panels they give you adapters so that you can attach them.

 

All the LEDs I got were from eBay. All work perfectly, just for the courtesy lights in the doors, don't get the wide angle, single LED bulbs. They get overpowered, produce too much heat, and burn out really quickly. I have bulbs that are 8 forward-facing LEDs and those are much better. I do wish I had grey or black leather since the xenon blue isn't the worst with a beige interior, but it goes much better if it wasn't beige.

 

I'd get LEDs from v-leds.com. Yes, they may be a bit more expensive that eBay, but their quality of LEDs are far superior. Not to add that they have amazing customer support. They stand behind their products 100%. I've had bulbs that are over a year go out, and they replaced/repaired them me for free.



That's how bright their bulbs are, this is around 11 at night, no flash at all.

 

So just get "Forward" style LEDs?

 

Depends on where you're putting the LED and how that bulb is oriented in respect to where you want the light.

 

Dome light: festoon LED
Courtesy Lights (T10 socket): Forward facing or a multiple-LED wide-angle bulb (like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/261029923226...#ht_4253wt_922 , which BTW is a pure white, not bluish, which I have these for my license plates, but the design is the same as what I have in my doors)
Map Light: Pretty sure it's a BA9S bulb (bayonet style)
Vanity lights: Fuse style
Glove box light: T5 socket

BTW, I really like those lights you have there djkevinnn. Probably will have to get some better ones when I have money to spend on more expensive bulbs, just since I think that pure white would look so much nicer in my car than the xenon white
