Interior Lighting

Has anyone tried the Interior Xenon Lighting Package #16283 from coopersport.ca or anything similar? Seems a bit pricey, but does come with a set of spare bulbs.

Link : http://www.coopersport.ca/product.ph...cat=108&page=1

Thanks,
Jeff

Also is there a better/cheaper solution for the clear front turn signal bulbs than their stealth bulbs?

Thanks Again,
Jeff

I don't know why but I really like the interior bulb replacement kit. I'd be really curious to know if anyone else has these and what they think of them.

that's an interesting concept. I can see it being pretty cool... and I can see my wife flipping out about how she looks under xenon lighting when checking herself in the mirror... anywone find non-flash photos of how these look?

I don't wanna hijack the thread, but I recognized the license plates...I saw your car on I-65 a couple weeks ago I think. I wasn't in the MINI, but everybody in the car with me loved your LETSMTR plates! And a couple weeks before that I met 3 PW MINIs between Columbia and Pulaski (I was headed toward Pulaski), maybe one was yours. I was shocked to see so many MINIs in that area, let alone they were PW.

As for the Stealth bulbs, there's a website called Bekker's, and they have the stealth bulbs for $8.00 a piece. A lot cheaper than I've found anywhere else. Not the set I have in my Mini, but the same quality (they're in one of our trucks).

I bought a set on ebay:

I think the color is far preferable to the standard yellow bulbs. Neither the stock nor the xenon interior bulbs throw much light.

What about LED? If you want good looking lights + good light output, superbrightleds has some amazing bulbs. I just bought 2 Festoon bulbs for my license plate lights, and they look amazing. I'm planning on replacing my interior lights with LEDs.

Kenny,

Where in TN are you and what were you doing in Pulaski? It's funny, nobody other than Mini people get the plate. I have to explain it to everybody!

I'm in Collinwood, about an hour west/southwest of Pulaski. I was with my dad when we saw your car on 65.....I was very surprised he got the tag immediately.
