I wouldn't recommend switching to LED on anything. The light output isn't nearly bright enough. I did switch my dome lights to "super white" leds, I've lost some of the brightness, but it gives off a nice effect.

Rep Power: 304 LEDs in your turn signal will not yield the same brightness as the incandescant bulbs. well exterior that is. and that's just unsafe. i've tried it in the the brake light and the front turn signal...it's simply not worth it.
as for the map/dome lights on the inside...i have some LED plug n play bulbs and they're pretty damn bright at night...don't spread the light like the stock lights, but who cares?
