    I highly recommend the LMC light lens. I have them in the cars. Huge improvement. I also recommend Diode Dynamics for their LED lights I have them in the Subaru. 3 year warranty. Very good quality. On their site they show the application for the Mustang. 168/194 $8 ea. You can pick the color and intensity.Far better than the Ebay garbage. You can also call them if you have questions. They were helpful with me.

      Some of the Chinabay stuff is OK, lots is not. the bayonet LED lamps that are in my gauges are flaky. One of them flickers badly, need to see if I can find either something better or a way to repair it. Probably a bad solder joint, the physical construction on those are pretty craptastic.

          I like blueish white light, it's not so much to see better at night it's aesthetics more than anything give it a more modern look, still waiting on my bulbs to show up I'll post a pic when they are done.

            specifically why I don't like the blue-white. It looks too modern.

                I like the blue-white in the accent lights in the grill of my car that helps signs "pop" at night while not being enough to really affect oncoming traffic. Just the wavelength addition to the regular headlights helps a lot at night to read signs. I don't mind it for the dome/map lights either. Dash lights, NO.

                  Yeah to be honest guys I got all the bulbs installed and I don't like it. Gadget said it right it's too..modern. I mean I like these same led dome lights in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee but in this car it just doesn't seem right so yeah gonna swap em back.

                    If it's just the color of the light bugging you, 3500K color (warm white) will look like the old bulbs.

                      Yes 3,500 to 4K is sometimes very nice. Not ultra blue/white but less yellow than the original incandescent. Do you know the frequency of the replacement bulbs you bought?

                        I only know they were super white color. They only costed me $10 on ebay so not a whole loss, maybe you guys can recommend me some led bulbs that look more like the incandescent? Or I just look for 3500 to 4k? I always shopped for led bulbs by the color I want them to be.

                          Most anything from www.superbrightleds.com that says warm white will be in that color range. Cool white will be 5000k or higher and typically 7500k-9500k.
