I really want LED because I hate that nasty yellow glow and the heat that comes off them. If I leave the map light on for a bit it feels like it's hot enough to cook a steak on. Yeah the white light looks a lot better, but the heat is the main thing. Oh and if I leave them on I don't have to worry about my battery dying unless I go on a month long trip or something haha.

Don't try to tell me why I'm doing something unless you have done some sweet ghost hacking, tapped into my brain, and downloaded my thoughts, in which case I applaud your 1337 skills. </ghost in the shell references>

Really?

From what distance can you detect this? There may be something very *wrong* with your Yaris.

I'm only concerned for your safety. If your lamp lenses are hot enough to act as cooking vessels, this subject needs to be investigated more thoroughly.

So... are we talking about a safety issue... or do you just want trendy LED lights? Is this a practical matter? Or a fashion statement?
