So I decided to do this mod, a bit more hardcore.

I looked through the forums, and found that no 1st gen 6's have done this

I decided to ditch the old reflectors in the dome lights and replaced them with LED boards.

T10 36 SMD LED Light Festoon Dome Bulb Lamp White 12V DC | eBay

When I purchased these, my measuring was more of a estimation. Therefore they were a bit too large and only 30 out of the 36 LEDs shine through the clear plastic housing.

The light produced by these babies is amazing. I just gott keep my interior spotless(which I pretty much already do) because these babies point out bacteria.
Here are some pics.





I'll post some night pics in a bit. Last night, these babies made my car look untinted.

I'm sure the lighting itself is great!
But Im not so much of a fan of how the housings look now in the day when the leds are not in use
Defs a good idea though!

This is when someone chimes and says "nightshade the housings" :)

You could try what I did if you don't like the look of the clear lenses during daytime. I took some matte clear coat (Rustoleum) and masked off the dome lights and gave the lenses a few coats. It gives the lens a frosted look.
