Anybody know what size/type LEDs to buy when replacing the interior lights, I saw a thread on some forum a while ago explaining it but I can't seem to find it now. Thanks.

When everyone is referring to using LED's in "interior" lighting, I'm suspecting everyone is talking about the dome lights or adding additional lights??
If LED's are used in the dash lighting, the dimming function of the light switch will be useless and you will not be able to "dim" the lights (for those of you who do) when using LED's.

Actually, the dimmer still works. You would be right if the car had alternating current, where you would need a pulse width modulator, but with DC current, the rheostat works fine.
