"Ricer" or "Not Ricer"

SharpPointyStick · 07-08-2010, 01:33 AM

On the fence on doing the interior LED upgrade (already have the license Plate LEDs)...dont want my BMW to look "Ricer".

Thoughts? "Ricer" or "Not Ricer"?

Sample images of a interior LED upgrade for reference;

Judging by every comment on the first page of the thread in the link I think most people think they're good.

Doesn't look ricer at all? Green= ricer

VTECaddict · 07-08-2010, 02:26 AM

White looks nice. Blue would be ricer. Cars are starting to come with LED interior lighting stock now, so if LEDs are ricer, those cars come pre-riced from the factory.

gizmo335i · 07-08-2010, 05:41 AM

LED interior lighting is the opposite of rice. Luxury cars all have this as far as I know. My Benz came with it and I love it...

ibeclueless · 07-08-2010, 06:40 AM

i go with white leds for the interior

._. · 07-08-2010, 09:51 AM

the 'lighthouse' affect the interior leds cause bothers me. there needs to be a low output led, one for the clean white light without the look at me I am a signal beacon.

I agree. The brightness is the only thing keeping me from ordering them.

Green

Euphoria 6k

Yeah, I don't know how it could be rice unless it's colored. But, who needs a light so bright they could get suntan at night? IMHO, sort of a useless mod unless your eyes are going bad. Spend your time putting on a sway bar or something that makes a meaningful difference, ha. :b Wait, you're driving a 323? Forget the sway bar and boost that mother!

import36 · 07-08-2010, 04:04 PM

i think the upgraded interior LED kits look badass...i would def get one. (nothing but white light of course)

USC2000 · 07-08-2010, 05:15 PM

They look good. Did the LEDs on my wife's IS250. Looks a lot better with the white light. Planning on doing the same to my 325.

SharpPointyStick · 07-08-2010, 10:25 PM

I agree with some of your comments; I think it is the brightness that is making me a little leery.

The white light would definitely look good.

Edit - Went ahead and bought the Euphoria 6k from F1 Autohaüs

SharpPointyStick · 07-27-2010, 05:03 PM

Installed them, and

LOVE

them...

Little on the bright side, but not bad...the nice clean white light looks very "high-end" and not ricer.

turboed335 · 07-28-2010, 11:09 AM

I like it

rayguy24 · 07-28-2010, 11:35 AM

Depends... I have white LEDs installed on the door, courtesy footwell, license plate and trunk. LEDs in the maps and dome are overkill for me personally.

LLinxuS · 07-31-2010, 08:07 PM

love them, and want to do them soon.

is there much of a difference between these two?

With the Euphoria 6k LED interior you will retain all OEM functionality without any of the lights turning off. Here are some recent pictures installed on a E92 coupe:

Magnificent. So with the e-92, you don't retain OEM functionality? Are they not doing the same thing; I just figured they might be different bulbs or one might be better.
