I'm thinking of:
Map: 9LED 3022 festoon x 2 Blue (vs. white/red?)
Dome: 9LED 3022 festoon x 1 Blue (vs. red?)
Trunk: 194x2 Red (vs blue?)
License plate: 194x2 White

My Review:
For map/dome lights:
the 3022 9LED RED provides a nice warm color but the brightness is inferior to the BLUE ones. It is also difficult to read maps (for us who can't afford Nav :P ) under the RED lights because most maps have green/red colors for roads/parks/grass etc and the RED light really screws up the map (the roads blend into the surroundings so u can't really see the turns/intersections well)
The BLUE 3022 9LED provides more than adequate brightness..some may argue they are TOo bright (i read about someone deciding to put the LEDs facing up to reduce the brightness and now i know why). Map reading under BLUE is better than under the RED (But of course the OEM yellow is the best for maps)
For trunk light:
The 194 RED 5LED looks cool but produces FAR LESS lighting than the OEM yellow bulbs. The 194 WHITE produces more brightness than RED but is still dimmer than the OEM yellow. I might wanna check out the BLUE ones next time, or just switch back to the OEM yellows if the LEDs are unsatisfactory.
For License plate:
The 194 White 5LED looks great, but again not as bright as the OEM yellow bulbs. The White color looks great tho. I just hope they don't burn out fast, as some people on this board have experienced.
