LED kit that matches door handle lighting?

Is there a kit out there I can get for my 328 sedan that closely matches the lighting on the door handles outside the car. Or does anyone know if that color is too harsh inside with black interiors?

Otherwise, what kit should I go with? I had bookmarked some about 8 months ago and am just now getting around to this, some of the sites that had kits, like sonic tuning, no longer do.

Thanks!

ECS is having a 20% discount on their interior LED's.
I'm not sure how well they match the door handle light though.

Look at the HighPerformanceBulbs kit offered by TopGearSolutions. Tis very nice, I'm rocking a kit in my car right now and its worked great for two years.

I have upgraded the trunk, dome, footwell, and courtesy lights to replacement modules and they look great.

The HPB LED Interior kit we offer matches the white LED of the door handles. It's a very popular kit and comes with 2 options. One kit offers factory brightness which is similar output to what you have now just using white LED's instead OR max brightness which offers the brightest white led's in all areas of the interior. Let me know if you have any questions.

Not trying to hijack but I already have BMS courtesy and footwell lights which one of your kits would best match those. The factory brightness or super bright. Their add says their lights are 3x as bright as factory.

Most competing kits try to offer a "max brightness" option. We are the only vendor I know that offers a factory brightness option.

I'm still guessing at this point but you would like favor the max brightness.

Does the LED lights also dims like OEM? Or flickers when locking or unlocking the door?

got mine from modmy3.com but the past 2 years I'm more interested in looking for brighter LED's on the door handles.

I got mine from Jeff@TopGearSolutions over a year ago. They're still working well, very bright. Great vendor with great products!
