    I went with red LEDs in all my interior lights (except ignition ring is blue) since they aren't blinding and are different. Still can see a lot, but they wont blind you like blue or white light will. Makes night driving very easy on the eyes!

    Strange. I have blue LEDs and they don't bother me at all at night. No getting blind at all. Maybe just me?

    I have changed everything over to red as well. It's so much easier on the eyes. The only white light I have, is the flashlight in the cig lighter.

    Love my white LEDs still. If I just turn on one of the map lights, it's fine. But if I need to do something or find something in the middle of the night I have no issue seeing everything haha

    I laugh with my blue interior lights at times. I wonder if the red ones get the same reaction. I can be driving down the road and if I turn on the interior lights, sometimes cars in front of me will actually slow down! Hahah.
