Yes, a nice write up.
But you still have to collect all the LED bulbs together...

Why do you want to use bulbs with higher wattage?
LED bulbs are perfect and have less power consumption!

Just do a search on ebay and look for "vanity LED". You will find the right ones!

two reasons mainly:
1) the LEDs are a more focused light, so th beam isnt dispersed as much and only lights up smaller sections. the regular bulbs can light up more area
2) ive seen pics of them installed (not in person) and i think it adds a sense of rice to the car. I dont want the blue-ish color when the interior lights are on, i want a "hyper white" color

power consumption isnt even a factor.. whats going to happen with higher watt bulbs? or whats the advantage of LED lower consumption bulbs? the only time the interior lights come on is when the door are open

Yes, before I installed the LED´s, I also thought that the LED´s aren´t the best solution to get a nice bright white light in the 300C. But I was wrong!

I really can´t see a big difference in the lighted up area. Please take a look on my pictures...There are no focused areas. The LED light is dispersed enough.

I think, that I have a nice white (maybe not "super hyper white") that is much better than any bulbs that you can get. But you can convince me from the opposite if you have examples...

Okay, at the end, everybody has to decide if it is worth or not. I would do this mod again

that's what hyper white is, real white, like the factory HIDs. not the blue'ish hue in the 8ks but just the white HIDs.

I have also been looking around for the best price and quality. I also thought that VIP300c was too expensive, but now I have came to this conclusion:
1) Price - I went to autoalumination.com and the site is too scrambled ,confusing, and has no pics of cars with them installed. Bulbs are either sold individually or in pairs which also gets pricey after adding them all up. You risk the chance of having uneven light distribution due to the variety of styles for each bulb.
2) Quality - On another 300c site, many people complained about the quality of autoalumination's bulbs and more people complimented the VIP300c one's. Even some members here have said that VIP300c's bulbs are brighter.

If you add up all the bulbs individually from other vendors, the price is going to be close to VIP300's price. At least with these bulbs, they come complete and saves you the headache to research and find the individual bulbs yourself. Lastly, the only draw back to VIP300 is that they don't come with the door courtesy bulbs which I will end up buying somewhere else.
