Default Interior LED's

Anyone buy anything form 12 Volt LED Car Light Bulbs - Super Bright LEDs and like them?
I gave thought to some dome light and instrument cluster light upgrades for my 240, so I was wondering if anyone else has done anything to any of their Volvo's...

I have soft blue in all my interior since the stock yellow/white was so harsh, kind of clashes with black leather though.

I have gotten some LEDs from Superbrightleds.com and they worked well. I also got some LEDs off of Ebay (they were cheaper and came from Hong Kong). So far I have replaced the dome light, the blinker bulbs, the illumination for the speedo cluster and all of the bulbs in the gauges (turbo car). You just have to find the right ones. I like the SMD ones. I believe that my dome light unit has something like 16 of those SMDs mounted on it. You need to measure the length of the original dome light bulb. I think that it is around 39 mm. long.

I have had zero issues with getting my LEDs from Hong Kong. 99.2% positive rating on Ebay. If you buy them here they were probably made in China anyway. The dome light bulbs with the 16 SMD LEDs work well.

Alright, thanks guys.

I don't think it will hurt to spend a few dollars on some LED's from China, even if they don't send them, or they blow next week...

I have ordered more than a few things from Hong Kong and I have always gotten them. It just takes about three weeks so be patient. They are all made in China anyway so you are just getting them direct from the source country.
