Cool Here it is......my interior lighting

After getting numerous requests to post pics of my interior lighting, I finally was able to get a couple pics. The camera I used wasn't great, so it doesn't do justice for what my interior really looks like. Hope you all like it.:p

Here's another....

In this pic, you can almost make out how many LEDs I used, just for the dome light.

Thanks TimmyC230boy, it's too bad I didn't also show pics of the rear interior light. The front dome light houses 12 LEDs while the rear holds 6. In all, at this moment in time, I have in total 27 LEDs lighting the interior. I hope to fine some time to have additional ones put in.:p

So what type of bulbs did you use? Did you do a direct replacement of the stock ones or did you wire in the new LEDs somehow?

A completely custom unit was made to accommodate the LEDs. Then it simply plugs in place of the stock bulb.

The "bullbs" are actually light emitting diodes. They are clear when not powered up, and blue when lit.:p

That does look pretty damn good. How bright is it? What's the light near the left end of the dashboard on the first picture?

Any chance you'd car to post a pic of what your custom fab looks like, and what P/N's are need to replicate it?

yeah if I did it I would probably go with white lights and not blue. or maybe see if I could get 10 white and 2 blue in front and 4 white 2 blue in back. I think that would give it a great look. I like your mirrors too, i might end up doing that! Let us know prices!

That's .. very, very blue! Interesting mod, reminds me of my Nokia 8290 with blue/white LEDs! Do you drive with those things on? If I saw that in the country roads, I'd think a UFO was heading towards me

Very nice, although I also think it's a little too blue. Is it annoying when you actually want to use the lights to read or anything? Hurry and please post on how you did all this!
