Default Source for LED lighting?

So am seriously suffering with Spring Fever. Am about halfway through with a moderate stereo upgrade. Would also like to upgrade the interior lights along with rear plate lights in LED unit.
Am wondering if there's someone within our community who has an LED "kit" for the 370 to where I can just submit 1 order and have the correct pieces all in one batch. Saw that the Z-Store has the overhead lights available for sale, but thought their price sounded pricey....
Would appreciate ideas or leads of where to go...

Default Order just placed!!!

Thanks for the almost immediate replies. Sorry for not spending 5 more minutes researching back in previous posts. Just sent off the order for interior lights along with the LED plate lights he offers. Hope i'm good going with white.
Wish he was able to replicate the orange color like Nissan has for the sill plate.

I believe the plate is filtered - I bought some movie light gels to put in my cabin map lights so I have an orange interior light.

Would 6000K be a good temp to get a real white, no color just nice clear white?

6000k has a very small hint of blue in them.

Here is a decent shot for comparison
