I had to rent a minivan this weekend and it was my first experience with LED ambient lighting. I didn't realize it until nighttime. I'm going to put my flame suit on now, because I know a lot of you like LED lights, but I have to be honest, I thought it was cold and harsh. There's something about the cool blue-white spectrum of the LEDs that just isn't natural (and scientifically studied and believed to be bad for you). I don't understand what there is to like about LED lighting other than it's brighter and uses less energy, which in the context of car ambient lighting, is a negligible issue. But the quality of the light is horrible. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like a nice, warm glow of an incandescent bulb, even if it's not as bright.
I bought a bunch of footwell LED lights for my GSW, now I don't think I'm going to bother installing them... unless VW specs a more natural light spectrum in their LED lights.
