I jsut got my map lights from advance auto parts it's bulb number 211-2 red. The are a little different than the 212-2 but work perfectly. I am still trying to find a red dome light and it looks kinda crappy with a white dome. so if anyone can tell me the number of the dome and maybe where to get a red one that would be awsome!

You can find red bulbs online at places such as autolumination.com. The mirror uses #214-2 and the dome light uses #561. You can Google using "bulb red 561" (without the quotes) to find other suppliers.

Also, I'd like to put something under the passenger and driver side, like down above the feet. The easiest thing I can think of is red neons, anyone have any suggestions what to buy? I want to wire whatever I get so that it only turns on when the doors open... where should I wire them to?
EDIT- Links to ebay auctinos or something for suggetions would be great

OInly thing is that neon lights don't like the cold and you can't dim them if they bother you at night when you're driving...
I'd suggest looking for a LED light strip. way less power consumption, very little heat at all, cold weather frendly and they'll take a few more kicks when stuck under the dash than ANY neon.
Just my two cents

i suggest LED bulbs for the dome light and map lights. if your camaro is 2000+ then i think your map light bulbs are 194, at lest mine were in my 01. i wasnted super white (like what the new caddys have) and so i did that. check ebay for "red led 194" or plug in the bulb number for the other one. itll lok way better, no heat, last forever, and the color wont fade.

Ledgauges.com has LED map and dome setups in red. I got a set from Nate about a year ago. They work great, and hes a sponsor.
The footwell lights are sweet. Did you say those dim like the rest of the interior lights when you open/close the door?
