LED Dome Light Question

I'm thinking of purchasing the AAC Oracle LED's for my dome and trunk lights.

I'm having a hard time deciding on the White or Aqua Blue (which supposedly is the color hat matches door ABL's?)

Anyone have either color and preference/opinion?

I would go with both...
White for everyday use, blue for shows.

I have the white, it is crisp and clean

I have the aqua blue and although it looks nice, it's pretty much useless if you need to read anything while you're in your car.

Thank you for the replies guys! Yeah if I'm going to turn on the dome light it'll be to see/read something, even tho it's on when the door is ajar.
I was thinking the cool white was "too bright"??? I'm not a big fan of super bright light, even in my home. But I guess white makes more sense for practical purposes.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I knew nothing about this product. I just watched the video...pretty cool item! Does this light remember the last setting/color choice once the car is turned back on? (after being parked for a bit) Or default back to white automatically?

The color shift dome light although really nice, the white is not bright/white enough as my GEN5DIY bulb. I noticed you said you wanted it for reading and such.

If your looking for accent, go with the AAC colorshift which is awesome. I love the different color options which match my factory footwell/cupholder accent lighting.

Ill snap a picture for comparison today. Check your PM for me please

AACstyle - Ok so I buy the $40 dome light setup...what about the trunk light? Do you sell that individually? Or do they only come in a two pack? I already have the GM footwell setup so I'm good there. Just looking for the dome and trunk at this point.

Thanks all for your input!!!

-Edit- And does the Color Shift fade out after closing the door? Or just turn off?

I just installed mine as well. I did not have the GEN5DIY bulb (replaced factory bulb), but I do not think the color shift in white is very bright….

That's actually a good thing for me. I'm not into the "Super Bright".

According the AAC/Oracle video, this dome light can have the brightness levels adjusted via the remote???
