S60 interior and exterior led conversion

So, my beloved readers, I will tell you about my almost full led conversion. After installing my Xenon lights, I started loving the electric white-blue ( or ice blue if you prefer ) color they produced and started loathing the yellow almost hepatic color normal bulbs produce. And no, this story doesn't start with a trip to the guy who installed my xenon lights... unfortunately. This story starts with me buying some cheap 5W5 LED bulbs. They were OK, the light they produced was very faint and a bit too blue if you ask me. They came in a set of 4 and were about 5$ the set.

Needless to say they soon started to burn out on a regular basis especially when driving on bumpy roads ( don't get it why, it could be a coincidence since most roads in Romania are bumpy :)) ) Oh, and they didn't gave me a burned bulb error.

Sick of this fact, I decided to give a call to my Xenon guy and asked him if he has some quality LEDs. He told me yes, 5 minutes later i was at his garage. He sold me some SMD LEDs for my position/parking lights.

 As you can see, they are pretty bright. And much whiter. So next day, went back and bought some other SMD LEDs. This time for:

But I also wanted the same light inside so I switched the following lights to SMD LEDs

The best thing about all the interior lights is that they still maintained the nice dimming effect after turning on the ignition.
I also had converted the light from the glove box. However that was a not so successful conversion because the bulb was a little to short and because of that, it didn't always make proper contact with the socket, resulting in the led malfunctioning. So I switched back to the original bulb. Also, I wasn't able (yet) to change the vanity mirrors lights since those require a very thin and long bulb. However, I will probably try to modify a normal SMD LED (similar to that I used in the center dome light) to fit (not a priority).
The cost this time was a lot higher, each bulb costing about 10$. But they are still going strong since 2009. And besides that I love the cool light inside and outside my car.

So, what do you think? Hope you liked this article too! I would love some feed-back from all of you, my readers.
