    I know there are tons of interior LED posts. Most seem to love the insanely bright LED bulbs. I don't, they really irrigate my eyes. I want slightly brighter, slightly whiter than my stock incandescent bulbs in my 2011. Does anyone make a 4500K moderately bright quality LED bulb?

    Have you considered something like Meso customs that has both white and red light modes? I love the red light.

    That might be a hard one. It seems like most aftermarket interior LEDs are in a light intensity war, so they all might be pretty bright lights. However maybe you can try one from a chain car parts store, like Phillips or Sylvania. They might be a little bit more reasonable especially if they’re designed as a replacement bulb.

    The stuff on Amazon is probably going to be the ultra bright stuff. It’s also probably going to be more prone to failures or shorts circuits that will fry your body control module.

    Didn't even consider the major label brands. Thank you.

    VLEDs has multiple levels for their light options. They're pricey but damn good.

    I went Arclight replacements with the red option for dark roads.

    Fyre flys are good. I had them in my 2020 AG Pro. Waiting on a set for my 23. Also had them in my 21 tundra Pro.

    Thanks again. Went with Sylvania. Not cheap, but not overly bright, which was my main goal. Big difference.

    Hey that’s good to know! Not bad for a total guess huh?

    Did you replace the tailgate and center dome lights too? I’m lazy, do you know the bulb type off hand? I was thinking of seeing if I could find a red version of those lights

    I did. The center dome takes some work as the Sylvania DE3175 bulb is 31mm and 29mm would be better. I suggest taking the dome assembly off-it's easy-then take back heat shield off so you can make the bulb fit.

    Map and door lights are 194. I used Sylvania Cool White.

    I replaced the hatch LED's with iBrightstar DE3175 warm white(4500K). I wasn't concerned about overly bright here. They are really great-light up the entire hatch area.
