Hi all. Does anybody know how many lumens are needed for the sun visor LED lights? I've found several after market LED bulbs but they vary form 28 lumens to 800 lumens. Would I also need to replace the current plastic covers? The map and dome light use a clear see through plastic.

More always=better! Women checking makeup need that lite!

Actually, no more light in many cases is NOT better :ROFLMAO:

In this case get a warmer 16 lumens the 24 lumens is going to be bright as hell but then again for $6.00 just but one and see if she likes it.

I swapped in the DD warm LEDs for the factory bulbs. It is muy, muy importante to get a warm tint. Do not get a cool tint or anything above 4k.

The reason is because it throws off the color and when the wife uses the cool blue LEDs to put on makeup, she gets out of the car looking like a Goonie. Avoid the Goonie.

Warm color. I went with the 24 lumen LEDs. Very happy with them.
