Cool web site. I haven't really thought about swapping any interior lights out. I would like to freshen up the courtesy lights, the lenses are dingy and it might brighten it up alittle.

I've done a little bit with some red LEDs in place of the floor lights. I plan on changing to whites because the reds aren't bright enough for me. I also cleaned several of the existing lights and covers, and that helped quite a bit. I haven't done any LEDs in the dash cluster. I'm going to do the door side lights also, and maybe the rear-view mirror lights. Oh, I did some gill lights and they look great.

one of the few 'neon' installs I've even remotely cared for is the gill slit lights. Wonder if LED would work in that area as well & look okay?? still kinda bling though...

No neon on mine, only LEDs, and they only light up the indentions in the gills.
