I say go with the brighter ones. Remember LED's tend to direct light in the direction that theyre pointed, so the light given off by them wont be in the same pattern as the regular bulbs.

I just did my radio, and here is the final product with 3000mcd super whites:

Night pictures with radio face off:
Finished radio look. These pictures do not do justice. Once you see them in person they look 100 times better!

I would go with the 40000mcd. I would want it as bright as possible for my dome/mirror lights because they only work when you open the door or turn them on manually.

Dragon Z28: With the radio, if I were you, I'd remove the light below the volume button. For some odd reason GM puts more power to that light and it's directly linked to the LCD display on the radio. Mine worked like a charm for about a month but one night it just blew, it took the LCD with it and the only way to fix the LCD was to replace it. Just a heads up!
