i would do red.. tint your windows too so you can sit in your car and nobody can see you lol.. i did it in my SS and love it i can turn my interior lights on in the car sit there read a book or whatnot at night and people walk right past my truck and have no clue i'm even in there and my windows are 100% legal.. also i didn't change the lighting for my guages i painted my guages with modeling paint so where it was white it's now red and where it was red it's no white.. if thats makes any sense the stereo is still stock though..

I vote blue. I'm in the process of doing all blue with mine and I'm loving it so far. I only have the instrument cluster and HVAC panel left to do.

Go with white leds. They will look blue, and the needles and redline will still light up.

The camera I took these with sucks. They are more blue than greenish-blue in person.

Ehh, those are a little too dark for me. Is there any brighter blue or should I just go with white.

With the black exterior, I felt that a UV interior would look killer.










Also went with red LED for door switches:


Looks killer when someone wearing ANYTHING white gets in the car.
