I have and the difference is night and day! Just changing the festoon bulbs in the overhead made a dramatic difference. The light is brighter and whiter, not amber like the old bulbs. I really like it. I put in 16 LED SMD festoon bulbs I got on ebay. Since they are interior lights they don't trip the bulb failure modules. Next I plan to do the lights in the doors and the headrests. Its a nice change and cheap too.

Sounds good, Mule. The cabin is certainly not suffering from an abundance of brightness! Still, for me personally, I kind of like the dim movie-theater-amber glow of the inside of my car. Puts me in the mood for a g & t.

At the moment, the car is getting a diff. put in and the suspension changed to standard from SLS. I'll get some pics up as soon as I can. Hopefully this weekend. Also hopefully, I'll have some before and after window tint pics too!
