    I’m about to buy new LED bulbs for the interior. The CarID sales rep recommended Lumen bulbs. I made the mistake of buying some cheap ones from Amazon, that seamed ok, but were horrible once I put the lenses back on. Has anyone used Lumen bulbs. So far, Vled, and JDMStar seem to stand out.

    I used the JDM, had a problem with one out of the box and they sent me a pair of new ones. No other problems in a yearish time.

    I’ve used pretty much JDMStar leds for most lights in the Tundra and 4Runner. Very pleased with the price, brightness, performance and quality so far.

    Vleds are amazing, super bright, no flicker. I liked them so much I used them for everything. Easy to see which bulbs you need, install directions if you need it, and their website is very easy to shop. I think they’re running 15% off right now

    Sylvania regular or their ZEVO brand (for more light where needed). Use your local auto store. You’ll pay more, but can return them if not needed. Another advantage is you’ll be able to buy just what is needed. You’ll understand once you start your project.

    I have headlight revolution bulbs and Really like them. I tried the cheaper Amazon ones and they all flickered. Here’s how my lights currently look1B3A50E4-4522-449C-99D1-CB203A4EF64A.jpg

    Sorry for the super late posting. I was kinda sick and really busy.
    Anyway, with these new lights, I could see at night finally, especially on the rear seat...

    Worth every penny IMO.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for LED's that aren't that horrible blueish white color? I would like standard daylight looking color but in LED.

    Just check the color temp, anything under 5k should be good.

    I recommend VLEDs. They are having a 15% off sale as well (with code WM15).

    This is what you will need for the interior:

    Dome Lights 5500k (Front) 2 Bulbs/194 Base - https://www.vleds.com/shop-application/interior/194/194-14-ll.html
    Dome Lights 5500k (Rear) 2 Bulbs/194 Base - https://www.vleds.com/shop-application/interior/194/194-14-ll.html
    (Optional) Footwell Lights 5500k (Front) 1 Set/74 Base - https://www.vleds.com/vehicle-speci...undra-interior/footwell/tundra-fwk-front.html
    (Optional) Footwell Lights 5500k (Rear) 1 Set/74 Base - https://www.vleds.com/vehicle-speci...tundra-interior/footwell/tundra-fwk-rear.html
    Vanity Lights 5500k 4 Bulbs/VANITY Base - https://www.vleds.com/shop-application/interior/vanity/vanity-6.html

    EDIT: I bought 5500k, but they have 5000k and 6000k options as well.

    They provide a tiny flat head screw driver and I could adjust the brightness on driver and passenger side each.
    also this screwdriver was very helpful opening the clear light housing cover.

    I feel ya, even the website says it is pure white but sometimes it was not the pure white, always there was bit of blue hint which I didn't like it,

    But this guy's LEDs are pure white, no bluish tint at all, look at my LEDs, it looks more white in person.

    They are made for Tundra and Sequoia? (maybe) only? Also my friend got this kit after he saw mine and he also loving them as well.

    Highly recommended :bikewhoops:, loving them.
