This past week I installed a 42 Draft Designs Interior LED kit, as well as a pair of their 14.5V license plate LEDs. I preferred the whiter look of LEDs, plus the fact that they run cool and use less energy.

In total, 12 bulbs were replaced for LEDs:
- Front Dome Light (1)
- Front Map Lights (2)
- Sunvisor Lights (2)
- In-door Step Lights (2)
- Rear Dome Lights(2)
- Trunk Light (1)
- License Plate Lights (2)

Here's a comparison of the front map lights:

If you decide to get some LED lights for your ride, make sure you follow the instructions that 42 sends you with them. It's important to be uber gentle with all the light fixtures and housings and to unplug each light before you switch the bulb. Also, there's a more complex procedure for NB License Plate lights. If they forget the instructions, lemme know and I can scan mine for you.
