Re: [DML] LED's for the center console

[Jake Kamphoefner <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,
 
I was afraid of the same thing before I put the LEDs in 1063, but I was wrong.  The bulbs I posted about a few days ago have lenses on the end that widen the angle of the light produced.  I was highly satisfied.  I think these are the same Bob is using, but I certainly can't verify that.
 
Also, don't use the white or blue bulbs in the fan fail/lock doors/ rear def. sockets.  Use the red LEDs.  The white doesn't really look right.  The red ones are beautifly even, rich, and much more stock-appearing (admittedly, in my own opinion).  I used 3 red LEDs, and 4 "super white inverted lens", all BA7s from www.autolumination.com
 
I'll try to remember to post a picture of my setup for you to see.

I can't imagine LED's would look very good at night time behind the center console. The very nature of LED's would make dispersal difficult, which is what illuminates the console in the first place. I think LED's would make the console spotty instead of warm looking. LED's may be better for some things, but in other places regular bulbs are important for the right feel instead of a cold, digital look. Change my mind with some pictures.
