I actually did install INTERIOR leds already, green and orange. I think they look really nice, subtle, and perfect for me.

Here's a bad video - maybe i'll take a better one. The orange lights are actually behind my seats, its dark and you can't really tell what's going on.

I'm also playing around with the idea of a multi-color led underbody kit, but since they'd be illegal to drive with them on in michigan and a cop magnet, it almost seems like a waste of money. Also, this forum would hate me for life.
I must say that does look nice. Do the lights mess with the visibility while you drive?

Not at all. I can't even see the orange lights when I drive (which has it's ups and downs! It'd be nice to see them, but this way it doesn't distract me)

You can set them to go with the music, stay lit, off (of course? lol!) or there are like 15 different flashing patterns that are pretty cool.

Pulling up to people you can definitely see their reactions!

Nice, I especially like the green ones they seem to match the interior lighting perfectly.

I really love the color green, and I want to somewhat personalize my car. Thanks for criticizing me. I don't know anything about car electronics - you're right. It's not exactly a hobby of mine, and I don't plan for it to be. Different people have different things they like to do.

Oh wow, if only you lived in Michigan or I lived in California (well, I do have friends in Rancho Cucamonga) we could light up our crossfires, be 18, drive around, and maybe even get married.

Lol, just kidding of course.

blond xo,

The UV LED dome lights are deep purple, but the cold cathode tubes under the dash (which are supposed to be purple) are more of a pink than purple. I'm going to have to wrap them with a purple film to make them look right.

The illuminated door sills I have were changed from the stock indigo-blue (light cyan color) to a nice shade of purple.

In the cargo area, I put a UV LED bulb too, but this one looks more blue through the white-ish lens. I suspect this is because the plastic has a UV barrier. I've been investigating a semi-clear lens replacement for this.

Good luck with your pink lights. Check out the link in my signature and see if they have some pink or white LED festoon bulbs... you can always wrap them in a pink film or paint the inside of the lenses with a semi-transparent pink paint...
