After driving 20 minutes at night with this mod, I have a few observations.
1. This is definitely brighter than the OEM Amber bulb with the dome-shaped bulb. It really illuminates things that the factory one didn't, like the "not and ashtray."
2. I really like it. It's not so bright that it's distracting. You can't really notice the factory LED. You can notice this one immediately. It also matches the blue from the compass in the mirror perfectly and gives awesome subtle reflections to the radio and heater controls, especially in my 08 with the 06-08 metallic knobs. (redisants 09 has the black rubber on the knobs so it's not as noticeable there)
3. If you have your home link set up, you will have to re-program it after this mod, since you disconnect it to complete the mod.
4. redisant really deserves credit here. He ordered the extra bulb for me, did the entire install for me, and wrote up the instructions. All i really did was drink a couple beers, eat his wife's cooking since my wife was out of town, and took some macro pics.
