Hey dude. Do you mean replacing the filament bulbs with LED's?
Or adding in neon tubes and stuff? I don't see a problem with a neon tube underneath each side where your feet go, or with converting to LED's.
If your changing your dash and stuff to LEDs:
HVAC - 2 - #74
Dash - 5 Bulbs (I think?) #194
Headlight switch requires soldering so idk about that..
Map and Dome lights I forget what kind of bulbs they are. You can find out at
