    I like the original light. I prefer the subdued, romantic look. :cool: If I need a brighter light, I keep an LED flashlight in the glove box.

    Just kidding about the "romantic look." Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.

    I rarely use that domelight. In my last car I think I used it maybe twice in 10 years? :LOL:

    I'm starting to hate bright white LED lights. I changed out all the lightbulbs in the house to LEDs, and now I feel like I'm in an office building! The light is too harsh. Now I regret doing it.

    I bet you don't regret the reduction in your electricity bill.
    I did the same and now all the lights in the house, total, use less than one old 60W bulb. Mine are not all bright, some are soft white LEDs.

    Our lights are set to come on when the car door opens. Yes I have the same issue in the house but if you put the right shade over it, it makes a huge difference. Also there will be plenty more vids some already recorded just need to edit them. Thanks for watching!!

    Yes, I put two soft white LEDs in the bathroom. Much better. I couldn't stand it anymore, being blinded.

    Even long before I got LEDs, would you believe my electric bill is only about $38 per month in winter? Maybe I get a senior discount. :LOL: And it's running about $46 this summer because I always have 2 fans going. (There is no AC in this old house.) When the sales people come to the front door, selling solar panels… I just laugh.

    House gas bill is $13. (water heater and clothes dryer). And of course, I drive a Prius, so I can't get much greener than that! :D That's one good thing about being a single old guy, you don't use much utilities.

    (In the car, 99% of my driving is during daytime, so I just leave the dome light off all the time.)
