Anybody use these to update their interior lights?

A guy I know referred me to this website to convert my 2000 S interior lighting to a white LED look. He had a good experience with them and I was wondering if anybody else on here tried them out? Also he only did the climate control update so I was wondering if anyone had pics of how the dash cluster looks.

Also if there is a previously existing thread about this that I didn't find please refer me over there and call me lazy for not looking hard enough

Thanks in advance!!

I used their blue LED cluster kit. I did the rest with bulk LEDs (not from them).

I think it looks more classic but since I'm updating all my exterior lights to de ambered versions, I wanna do the same on the interior. I've got a buddy of mine who is a bit of a purist and I might even go as far as saying he's upset with me for doing everything I am... But hey it's my car and I want her to look beautiful to ME ya know?

Every cheap American car since the invention of the incandescent bulb has had amber lighting...

It has absolutely nothing to do with the make or country of origin of the car. When LEDs came along with their various color options, that changed the game. It's an advancing technology thing

No problem, thanks for the compliment

I am in a dilemma...
as much as I would love to have classic 911 green gauges (I think RUF put something similar into their 986/996 equivalents), I would miss my fav light color "amber" too much.
...can't wait for halloween...lol

I did the doors and overhead lights with the white LEDs and it's considerably brighter. I could actually read a map with the overhead light now if I didn't have a GPS.

The Amber interiour lighting makes me thing of those old computers with the big monitor that took up half the desk. They were usually black and green on the screen, or black and amber. Either way, very very dated.

Love the blue look, that looks very slick.

I did the LED conversion for dome and door courtesy lights. Much brighter and I like it. In fact, I also did my wife and my DD's. I can live with amber gauges and hvac in the Box, but I wish they were a little brighter.

I do think particlewave's blue conversion looks fantastic, however.

The blue LEDs make me want japanese rice. Nothing modern about it.

This is modern:

Well now you cant just throw that up there and say nothing more my friend.... Cmon now tell us a story! What is that and where did it come from? How much work did it take and how much does it cost? What are all the different features? I must say it does look nice!!!

So, are you racist against all Asians, or do you just hate the Japanese? How old are you?
I hope you didn't/don't reproduce

Hahahaha +1😂😂😂

Your lights look great particlewave, just curious about where this guy got his setup from

Seriously?? Wow....

You might want to get out more and actually see cars in person. Many many many cars use blue lights in their interiours - because it looks great and yes, looks very modern.
