Default Replacing Interior Lights with LEDs

Has anyone bought the new "complete interior set" of LED lights at tunerdomes.com? It costs $93 as opposed to the $69 package others here may have bought. I thought I read a while ago about problems with Tunerdome LED purchases. Any thoughts or opinions?

Here's the link to the package:

http://www.tunerdomes.com/index.php?...d&productId=68

Also, is it possible that the LED license plate lights from BWM and Lexus could be used for Audi? The aftermarket license plate light mods I've seen for Audi seem way too bright. Does anyone know if they'd be compatible?

I did all of my interior lights, but didn't buy a package. I also had no problems whatsoever with tunerdomes. They were great with high quality lights.

Be careful to turn off your lights and/or disconnect your battery (of course since they are polarized you cannot expect them to all be put in the right way without flipping the switch on/off). If you arc one of the lights it will blow out your HL panel and damage another CEU, very expensive...

I actually just installed them two days ago from tuner domes. Looks great in my opinion.

How did you get the dome lights in the front removed?

I just ordered a set of these, I noticed one of my dome lights had burned out earlier this week. I'll post pics if noone else has of how to get it all apart. It's pretty straightforward.

I got the ones in the back seats off and the vanity lights and the doors before I blew out my central electronics unit but I never figured out how to remove the front plastic, the main dome lights.

Did anybody disconnect their battery first or just have the ignition off? Still kind of leery because of blowing fuses/CEUs last time and doubt warranty would cover it again.

Simple to remove the front dome lights, just open the sunglass compartment and there is one screw in the center. The rest just pops off. Just be somewhat gentle, don't just start ripping things apart.
