Default LED Users - INSIDE

Guys,

May have just found the answer to our LED dimness problems. This guys have multi-directional units. Of specific interest are the 3157 Matrix bulbs and the Light Tower bulbs. Check out this link:

Anyone ever try these guys, prices seem pretty competitive.

Could someone please enlighten me as to how many LED's and what type of LED's I would need? I just got a new '02 SS and I really wanna make all the lights on the car (both interior and exterior) LED if possible.

This looks like the best bad boy for the front turn signals, the only issue might be the height. . .

they're nowhere near as bright as you need. barely visible at night. almost non-existant during the day. they're not right angle so out of 25 LEDs, 20 face down; 3 face backwards; that leaves two whole LEDs facing the right way and whatever is reflected (which isn't much). i just got them as to not warp aftermarket corners. but if aftermarket corners were as strong as the OEM corners, i would definately switch back.
