LED bulbs look terrible. You pop the covers off with a small screw driver.

Default I had Led bulbs and I liked the look.

I started with switching the 2 license plate bulbs which looked cool at night. Made it look like the newer luxury cars with Led lighting. Then I ended up switching the trunk bulbs. Then every tube shaped bulb in the interior, including the glove box. I think I bought a total of 16 bulbs costing over $10 each. Got them for autolumination.com. They were all size 39mm IIRC
