Default 100 LED's to mess with

i just bought 100 5mm 13000mcd blue leds with resistors for 10 bucks... give me some good ideas on what to use them on/make

i already have blue guages,hvac, and headlight controls.. and im already getting the door lights, steeringwheel controls and led's for the halos from elsewhere..

so any good ideas...

EDIT: i need two for my ASR and fog ligh switches so now i have 98 to play with... if i need more ill order some.. they are cheap as hell when u buy in bulk.. i should have got 1000 ha..

Put some back inside of your heater vents, then all you see is a blue glow in them

make some custom turn signals. Is there enough for that? or if you want to get extra crafty you can make some light up window and door switches but youd have to cut away where the whites printed now, and wire them but itd be cool!

How do you change the lights on the odometer? do you know of an install guide like for the ASR and fog light switch?

+1 on that! A slight glow under the dash is always cool, hell, you have enough to do the back seat footwells as well. Get a Pulse width modulator programed to adjust the brightness.
