Thanks!
I don't have any pictures of the puddle lights, but they definitely look good. The type of bulb you are going to need is the WLED-xHP6 Wedge Base Bulbs. Even though I used cool white for the interior, I decided to go with Natural White for the puddle lights for better illumination.

Yea, really easy. You just need a flat head screw driver to pop out the light from the door. There will be a small insert for you to wedge the screwdriver in. It's the same as the interior trunk light.

If it is a canon camera, try the custom white balance feature. Its a little complicated but well worth the effort. Here is how you do it:

1. Take your picture as normal
2. Go to the menu and find the item for custom white balance.
3. It will ask you to select a picture from memory, select the picture you just took.
4. Go to the white balance selection and scroll to custom white balance.
5. Take the the exact same picture again with the exact same settings as before.

For best results, use a tripod, manual mode, long exposures at iso100. Occasionally something whacky happens so don't get discouraged. Also you need to recalibrate the white balance every time you move the camera.

You forgot the part about needing to use a picture of a white piece of paper / or white board that was taking under the same light for the picture.

That trick almost never works using the technique I described. That's for photoshop, and it would be a neutral grey card.
