Lighting upgrades?
Ok I know what most people do for headlights (Tsurus, HIDs, or Silverstars at least, etc.) and for foglights (same), but what about lighting for interior (cabin, trunk, dash)? I'm especially interested in upgrading the dome light as our b13s don't exactly "shine" in this area. haha, couldn't help it. Also anyone recommend certain cluster lights (I can search this as I'm sure cluster lighting has been discussed)? And pros/cons to choosing PIAA Xtreme White bulbs over Silverstar Ultras (for headlights and foglights)? Any thoughts?

From my experience, Silverstar bulbs tend to burn out quickly.

just go with HIDs in everything. I have HID headlights and fogs. Love it! I change my HIDs like I change my underwear. 3000k fogs are amazing

eh HIDs are very nice but they are a little on the $$ side. I can put my money elsewhere. So I can go LED on everything, even the dome and trunk light? And they will be brighter than incandesent? I must be behind the times.

x2 on the Silverstars. That's why I threw up there the PIAA. Even though they are a bit more expensive, I've heard they are more reliable. Not sure how much truth is in this.

If I can get all these LEDs through you liuspeed, then perhaps I'll go with that. I need to wait until the paycheck comes in before I commit to anything. Thanks for all the help guys. I'm pretty much a noobster in this area.

Hids are not expensive, think you will replace the silverstars 3-5 times before you need to replace a hid bulb,
.
and as a plus the hids draw less power than incandescents putting less load on the alternator so it will save you gas (hypotheticly thinking at least)

HID kits are $40 shipped on eBay with 2 year warranty. And they're in the States and not China. You can't beat that at all.
