Hi Guys,

First post here, and I've been lurking for a few weeks gleaning some really useful information ever since buying a used '05 tC three weeks ago.

One of the first things I wanted to do on the cheap was improve interior lighting. During my research, I didn't really see any empirical photos comparing stock dome lights vs. LEDs. Maybe they're out there but I couldn't find them (given the number of photographers on this forum, I would have expected more). I got these LEDs: http://www.oznium.com/thin-led-domelight
One 1.5"x1.5" for the front, and one 1.5"x5" for the rear. They do the "theatre lighting" thing, but not all that well. They flicker more than anything, but if you're not looking at the lights themselves, you may or may not notice.

Anyway, not the best quality, and I didn't get more photos since it was getting late for me, but I hope it'll be helpful to anyone researching their lighting options.

Car was shot in complete darkness in my garage, both exposures are identical. Shot with Canon EOS 20D @ ISO3200, 5000K WB, 1/20 sec, f/4.5

 

Looks good, especially the second pic. Almost like something you'd see in a mag. like it.

 

i like it. i'm glad you didn't go all blue or something, lol.

 

nice

 

I went all blue and i love it! But hey, its all about what makes you happy!!

 

I had blue, hated them after 2 weeks and change to white.

can i see pics

 

i went all blue and yea its a little annoying. you cant see that well and it hurts your eyes a bit. im thinking ill change to white

 

^^do eett, you will like it a lot more.

I hated the blue after like 2 weeks, it was cool for a minute then like you said it would hurt your eyes to look for stuff because it made everything look weird.

 

Here are the pictures with the white and blue pictures..

 

tru ! i had all blue be4 (blue map lights..front and rear from Garage1217) then i took 2 map light bulbs out and put them in the headlights and replaced them w/ white map lights (much better). i juz ordered a set front and rear from LEDmod ! can't wait to see it !!

 

huge difference

 

Nice, i was looking at the site thinking which ones to get, but you figured that out for me

o did you do the dummy light bulb they offer? or you do a custom wire job?

 

Wow those white lights make the tc look a lot classier.. I can hardly see ____ with my stock dome lights.. maybe I'll hop on a set

 

I have the lowest price and it's one of the brightest... easy to install...

 

i was looking at your set, but i did not see the 'Cool White' color, would that color become available later?

 

What do you mean by "theatre lighting" & flicker? Would I be right to assume you're talking about when the auto fade feature kicks in?
