Hi

Taxpro...

The LED upgrade is much brighter than the standard yellow bulbs. There were 2 reasons I carried out the upgrade;

1) I have LED puddle lamps in the door handles that did not match the colour of the interior lights. It just looked odd with bright white light outside the car and yellow inside.

2) I owned an Audi A1 briefly before the X1 that had interior LED 'mood' lighting. I had also driven a lot of newer 1 series and 3 series with LED lighting. I just liked the bright light in the cabin as it felt and looked more modern than the yellow bulbs.

I was on a UK cross channel ferry a few weeks ago. Where we parked on the car deck was reasonably dark, so the LED lighting worked really well. So much so I even had people looking at the car.

KaKIT...

I don't have any pre mod pictures. The interior lighting was dull before the mod, but is now bright. It's probably not to everyone's taste, but I like it and it matches my puddle lamps in the door handles.
