Default Better interior lighting?

You'll have to forgive me, I'm used to a gas-guzzling Tahoe with enough lights inside to blind Ray Charles.

At any rate, I'm picking up my cube on the 31st and was wondering if there's a way to add better lighting to the interior. I had the demo out last night, and with the interior lights on, it was fairly dim inside. The stock dome was okay, but not bright enough for me.
So, has anyone added better lighting to their box? IE Floor, more domes, etc?

replace all the interior lights with leds. I have done all mine and they are way way brighter. Also, I have the 4-n-1 led dealer option which adds more light to the front.

Too dim? The stock lights in my xB are the brightest I've ever seen in a car.

Hey zTagged,

I suggest going to www.oznium.com. Check out their 16 LED Dome Light. It is a tight fit, but it is unbelievably bright. Also, you can pick up a set of LED 194 replacement bulbs. Those will replace your map lights. Lastly, you can get an LED replacement bulb for the rear cargo light and you are pretty much set.

If you want to go further, you can also pick up a some cold cathode tubes for under the dash and seats. Oznium sells those too. They do require some know how for the install. However, if you want a fantastic plug and play cold cathode kit, check out
www.randode.com

Congrats on your new xB!

Do you have to trim it at all to get them to fit in the dome?

If you're looking for the 194 on Oznium site they are in the LED section. Scroll down and you'll see them.
