Interior Lighting?

I have a very quick question to ask. Should I go with Bimmian Xenon interior lighting or LED's to change my OEM interior lights out?


Thanks
Zach

I used LED's and they are pretty bright. Check out 42 Draft Designs, that's where I got mine from.

I thought the Bimmian stuff was weak, and got rid of them in less than a month. There is a vendor here that is selling a full LED set, including dome light panel, and it looks much better IMO. They are what I replaced the Bimmian set with.

It only took 5 minutes for me, now I have to wait to get paid to get the LED's. Those things sucked big time, there was just a decrease in light it wasn't funny. Now I do have to say that the festoon's looked pretty good and pretty close to the light output, but the felt like they were getting too hot. I hope the leds are better, much better. I have to ask does the kit come with license plate lights as well?

The LED's won't get hot. 42 Draft Designs sells the license plate lights if you don't see them elsewhere. They look really good too.
