Lots and lots of threads on this topic. Lots of people have done it, and personally I think a great upgrade to the inside feel of the car. Search though...you'll find all you need...

I did it. No complaints I bought them at v LEDs though. I saw a kit like that at ijdm but didn't get it. It looks real good IMO

depends how extensive you want to go man, some leds are 5 bucks each, while a more intensive one may be 15. all depends on how bright you want it or what you want to spend. also some lights like trunk light arent always upgraded by folks, as usually no one sees appreciates a nice light in the trunk haha. good/high output within reason bulbs of vleds will cost around 50 bucks for all the interior lights. thats just to give you a very rough estimate

V-LED online store has ok prices but their products are top notch. Many people here use them. LED is an old and very popular subject. Do a search and you will be reading for days.

I did mine a couple weeks ago. LEDs really make the car flow better on the interior, especially if you have the lighted kick plate. One thing I do recommend is get a replacement that has side mounted LEDs also, or it's going to look weird, especially at night when you look at your license plate lights.

+1 on V-leds, thats where i got all of my leds. There's a lot of threads on the install, you can do a search on them. Its really easy, mostly just taking out the cover and change the lights. It was my first time changing the LEDs and it took me max 15mins.

I went with JDM's and they work great... did the doors, map lights, and license plate. Had them on for over a year and no issues. Def a better look than the yellow appearence of the stock bulbs IMO
