Hey I was thinking about doing some interior lighting work on my t/a. I was curious about the different setups people have. Post up some pics of your (preferably LED) interior lights. Thanks

I did this as my first course of action but alas, nothing really. I was kinda hoping that someone would have some pics and more information on this. I posted because I had a question and just wanted some help and pictures, not someone to point out the obvious.

Most ppl new to this site won't bother searching. I don't understand how you couldn't find anything b/c There is a bunch of threads about this.

With a Firebird you will probably want to consider red leds because other colors will not shine very well through all the red film. I converted my whole interior to red SMDs. Click my fquick link to look at pics. I converted to a firebird shift indicator, hvac display, and headlight switch, so it will be similar to what yours will look like..

Thanks. Btw the car looks great inside and out. I dig the red lights. Where did you end up picking them up from?

Thanks! I got them from good companies with great feedback on ebay. You can get them from superbrightleds, BUT it WILL be more expensive. I walked away at a lower cost from ebay.

I got all my interior SMDs on ebay, NOT ebaymotors. For some reason they are more expensive on ebaymotors even though they are the same products

EDIT: You'll need five 194 bulbs for the gauge cluster (highly recommend 5-SMD bulbs), two 74 bulbs for hvac display (highly recommend 3-SMD bulbs), one 74 bulb for shift indicator (highly recommend a 3-SMD bulb), and two 74 bulbs for door panels

Do a HVAC LED's search there are a lot of setups there. I am in the middle of a blue conversion for mine, but I'm not done or i'd post some pix.

I have red LEDs on my rear view mirror... At night I intentionally leave them on and face the mirror fowards. It looks cool in my opinion, i'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

You should post up some b4/after pics of the process.

Ls1CamaroGuy87, how well do the LED's dim? I was going to do this when I first got the car, then decided not to, and now one of my stock backlights died (so I can't see the fuel gauge at night lol)...motivating me to go to LED's again...I don't dim my dash very often, but once in a while when it's late at night and there's no other cars on the road, I set the cruise control somewhere legal, and then dim the dash all the way off and turn on the blackout feature on my alpine head unit...just easier on my eyes if there's no light.

U can turn them off, but they only get slightly dimmer with the adjustment wheel

I do it when my car is parked though...you know like the camaro guys who have the knight rider light on the bumper. Did you think I drive around like that?

I just installed LEDs in my gauges, and they dim pretty well...

I hope you don't drive around like that... California police don't like seeing red or blue lights on the front of any car that isn't a police car on any public roads...

They dim just fine.

No, I don't drive with them on. Trust my, Had a red LED lighting up my license plate back in the day, and within a week, got hassled by a cop. Changed it the next day.

Nah man, like i said I only turn them on when its parked. I know what you mean though,cops around here will try to bust you for any little thing.

From what I hear, red light on the back is okay because it's on the back. Cops will probably give you trouble, but you could fight it.

My cousin wanted to do amber color neon under his Fiero. He said it's a loophole since you can have amber on any side of your vehicle, so technically it would be legal to drive with.
