I'm confused. You mention they are blue, yet it says "super white" in the heading and "white" in the description. How does one determine the actual color of these bulbs? Is the listed color temperature of 5500k considered blue?
Along the same lines, how does one determine the relative brightness of these bulbs? If we want something the same brightness as the original incandescent bulb for example, how can we tell which LED replacement bulb is required?

Just search for a blue one on ebay 
I put those ones on there just because most people would not like blue in their interior. It works really well for me since if I want some real light inside my car, I just click on the other 2 lights in the dome that do not come on with the doors being open.
Blue ones on ebay:

About the brightness, I have no idea much about the temperature and other specs of led's. I just bought them and liked them so I used them. This was the second type of bulb I bought, the first were crap lol[This message has been edited by Riddick85 (edited 01-16-2012).]

Yea, some of the LED's you can buy are not very bright. The ones I listed in the first post are quite bright, and cheap. A good combination

I find most led light looks blue, unless it is rated as more of a yellow, it could just be because we are used to yellowish incandescents.

Late reply, but yes, I put one in the trunk and it is brighter than the stock bulb for sure.
This picture was taken in the daytime, and the LED still looks quite bright:
I have been sticking these LED's everywhere LOL! I put a 3 of them in my third brake light as well:
And here it is all lit up:
REMEMBER!
Check the polarity before you go wiring, soldering, or crimping anything. LED's will only work with the positive(+) hooked in one way.
