F1 AutoHaus high powered LED kit
Quick review of the kit, I just received it and installed it.
Installation: Was pretty straight forward except the front dome. For me it was pretty hard to get to, since those clips are towards the front of the car, the screwdriver or tool you have to use has to be quite short. On a side note the led bulbs for the trunk, and vanity mirror was slightly shorter than stock so i had to bend the metal tabs to make better contact. Rest of the bulbs were easy to get to. Total time for my installation was about an hour and 15 minutes. All the leds seem to run cooler than the stock bulbs, except for the dome. Well what do you expect with 12 leds. LEDs are bright a lot brighter than stock. Included below are pictures which was taken in my garage, The garage has no windows and is pitch black there is absolutely no external lighting all the lighting is provided by the leds. Pic Below is shot from outside the car with windows up. Car is tinted with huber optik.

The way you described for accessing the front dome is actually very dangerous, people have ruined the headliner and / or the tabs of the front dome because of that.
There is a much, much easier to get to the front dome lights. 1. Flip down your sun visors and turn them to the side windows 2. With a trim tool or something that has a pointy edge, open the flap door on the sun visor mount closer to the front dome light 3. Unbolt the torx screw behind the flap door, remove the visor mount. 4. Repeat 1-3 for passenger side. 5. Now with both visor mount removed, you should have enough slack to pull down the headliner in front of the dome light 6. Fish your hand in and push the metal tabs on the front dome to release it 7. Reverse to put it back together.

Karl: Were all the festoons the same size by mistake? There was suppose to be one (39mm bulb) for the glove and three (42mm bulb) bulbs for the visors/trunk lights.

Yes they were all the same size, i guess i got the wrong sizes for 3 of them no wonder they didn't fit snuggly.

Looking good. More info on the kit please.
1. Is this a true full LED interior kit? 2. Does it cover EVERY interior bulb on the car? 3. What is the price? 4. What is the distributors web site? Thanks!
