I ordered 6 44mm festoon bulbs that are green LEDs. I am really excited for the final outcome, but they will take a while to ship. Anybody have pictures of interior (roof) lighting to share? I also plan on doing green LED puddle lights soon too.

That blue looks great. I have interior underglow (any color, pattern, music) but just natural white LEDs in the ceiling.
 






Looks great! I like that they're not too bright
 






I just got the bulbs in, I ordered green LEDs from some Chinese company, but I got ice white instead, which I'm honestly happier with because green could've been annoying. I had to wrap foil around each end of the "festoon" bulbs because the diameter was too small, but they're in, look great, and are really bright. I would link pictures but I'm not sure how to....
 






I put LED bulbs in mine, just your standard white. The middle row light would always flicker and go out but would come back on when you would smack it. The other night I took the cover off and pinched the prongs a little and now it works great. I like the crisp light from it. I kinda like the blue light above but would still want white for the map lights.
 












That's pretty much the problem I had, the two ends being too small for the prongs. How did you angle your front map lights? mine reflect strangely and I feel like they could be brighter.
 






Nick I can't remember how I angled them, I tried several different ways and never got good lighting. I am using natural white LEDs now, they were expensive and I am not real satisfied. At least they don't flicker, I am constantly changing the little bulbs in both of my trucks for that reason.
