Default LED Interior Lights

Just picked up some LED interior lights from JLC in San Gabriel CA. I thought I'd share some pictures incase anyone was curious about how they would look.

They are located:
633 South San Gabriel #109, San Gabriel, CA 91776

to be honest i don't know too much about kelvin rating. but the TC that you see in the blog was running 45k aftermarket HID's. The color blended perfectly in my opinion. I plan on switching out my oem HID's for the 45k as well. If you go ask for Jack really nice guy. Tell him that RunnerUps sent you. Maybe he can knock off a few dollars. Few of my friends jumped on the bandwagon and he gave some discounts on it.

As far as colors go, I know they had a blue at the shop. They do a lot of custom work including carbon fiber wraping. They even mentioned that if some of the stuff in stock was too big they could custom make specific sizes. So I can imagine that they can do custom colors as well. It would just take some time.

The install was super simple, but if you need any help feel free to shoot me a PM. Me and my friends are always happy to help out.

not exactly sure what you mean. but i attached a picture of the color chart of what i was talking about in the previous post. Jack from JLC metioned the LEDs we were purchasing were Hyper White. Those Hyper Whites seem'd to match perfectly on the Scion TC's 45k HIDs.

The OEM Z HIDs are 4300 I believe. I'm not sure the change will be that noticeable, but I suppose you might be able to tell.

I think the might be 4300 or 4100. But yea i'm looking to go more white less yellow. Just trying not to over step into too much blue.

6000k or less should work then. 6000 does have a little bit of blue, but it's a rather small amount. If you don't want to risk it, I'd say anything less than 6000k should work for what you're looking for.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll probably order the new bulbs (D2S 4500) tomorrow. I'll post a picture update just incase anyone is curious to how they look like. It's going to be a pain taking the front bumper down to put the new bulbs in. =(
