Pics of Blue LED lighted interior
Please post up your pics of your car at night with Blue LED's on the interior of your car if you have them please, planning on doing something similiar and wanted to just re-assure myself basically.
Also, any of you that've done this, Will the LED's at Advanced Auto Parts work fine for this? Or is it just gonna be a half-*** job if I use those? Also, what's the best way to wire them and have a switch for them? I want to keep my stocker interior lights but have these on the side for night driving so that I can have a little more light without have the interiors on constantly...
Thanks,
Caleb

I just did the LED's in the door. Haven't gotten around to the rest of them yet.
You can see how bright the LED is shinning on my leg! lol I used the brightest led's I could get at RadioShack.

If youre asking me, it was simple, I just cut out the bulb then got a LED and a compatable resistor and wired them in place of the bulb. That goes for the switches too.

If not, what value resistor do I need ? The resistor wires in series to the (+) side of the LED, right ?

The source voltage should be 12v, might want to check with a meter to be sure.

Nope, its a cheezy little bulb. You can calculate your resistor with a LED calculator.
