To make it worthwhile... Make sure the bulbs are big enough to hold up to 9 leds because if there are less, the output would be less compared to halogen. I say go with bright/super white and not blue. You will most likely need resistors because the bulbs require less power than halogen bulbs and if the car has it.. will show that a bulb is out.

the bimmian "xenon-look interior lighting kit" is better than the xynergie one in terms of output, but yes, it's still not as bright as stock...but the color IS much better to look at...I had the bimmian kit in for a while, then I decided to get blue LEDs to match my angel eyes at night :craig:

Yup, I'm an idiot. It seems that the most obvious solution to the problem was the fix. I replaced both the driver's side foot well light bulb and the passenger side vanity mirror bulb and viola, it works. I guess it's not easy to tell just by looking at them. On a side note: 1 set of 2 bulbs from Kraigan cost $6.50 times two sets/sizes for a total of $13 for 4 little light bulbs! What's up with that?
