Exclamation Let's see some LED interiors guys!

I am working on mine, and it will be done soon. I love the look and I want to see what you guys have done.

My camera sucks. These look much nicer in person.

Awesome, I have the same gauges on the way. Sadly, I don't have radio controls on the wheel. Why don't you put a blue LED in the door handle to match your others?

I thought of doing that at first, but then I decided to change the interior lighting without looking aftermarket. I think I'm at the point where it looks factory, if I did the door lights, people would start suspecting that I had a hand in it. I dunno I'm weird like that.

I'm gonna do my entire interior in blue led's in the beginning of next year, so I'm gonna need some good websites/write ups if anyone knows of some. I think it looks badass, but I've never done any electrical work, but this looks "easy" enough, so I wanna do it. Plus is looks badass. I wanna do the gauges, steering wheels controls, hvac and lighting controls, and the radio led's. If someone can help I would appreciate it.

I've done my entire interior with blue LED's from LS1_SS. He has nice kits that only require enough skill to pull certain parts and plug in a light. Other parts are a bit harder like the steering wheel controls but if you are alright with a soldering iron, you're in there. I'll post pictures later tonight when I can get some good shots.

I have all of the following done with blue led's:

Door Lights
Steering Wheel Controls
HVAC Controls
Dimmer/Headlight Switch
All Gauges
Nexus Fuel Pressure and Nitrous Pressure Gauges
Ashtray lights
Flush Mount Radio Bezel with Camaro SS CNC'd and Backlit With Blue Led's
Pioneer 840MP CD player
Lone Dedicated LED for Nitrous Bottle Light Hidden In Spare Tire Area
Lights Replaced in Cut-Out Switch And Fog Lights
Custom Nitrous Switch Panel With 3 Blue Led Switches and Blue Lighted Purge Button
Blue Led Shift Light

Son of a bitch, I just noticed something...I put a lot of LED's in my car. LoL

Before I installed the carPC:





After the carPC was installed (ghetto rig installed, hence all the wires that I didn't hide before taking this pic)...

Blue LEDs in doors, rear-view mirror, rear hatch light, "home-made" led light bars for the foot wells:

Looks good. Quick question...since you replaced your rear view mirror light, it doesn't look like you get any lighting inside. Is this true? IN terms of actually being able to see inside the car at night if you need light.

I may do red, but i just love the look of blue LED's. It's more of a personal preference thing. I wish I had a black interior though.

www.superbrightleds.com has a nice selection for really good prices. Yes, Radioshack charges an arm and a leg. The LEDs on this site are nice for everything, but some may recommend a higher mcd rating for the map lights and hatch light.

I used the 3000mcd T-1 superwhites behind the radio, and in the headlight switch. I am using blue LEDs for my fog light switch.

Thanks, That is mostly true about the amount of light that is present. If I drop something, the foot well lights are more than enough to find it, but I do keep a little flashlight in the glove box if I really need to look at something or read something, which I pull over to do anyway.
