Default Request for interior lighting pictures

I really want to replace my interior lighting with either blue or white LED's but I don't really know where to start. I was hoping some people would have pictures of this already (preferably blue) so that I could have some sort of idea of what to aim for. Where do you suggest I get the bulbs or whatever? Are they all plug and play or will I have to actually exert some effort for this? Any help is appreciated and I want to make sure I do this the right way and not just buy a bunch of ****** lights.

Recommend hyper-white for the most light output. We have our kits on special for $69.99. Lot's of C5 guys run our kits too!

All of our lighting mods can be found here:

Where exactly? We offer plug n play kits for the footwells and trunk area in blue

Also check out our super bright footwell kits

You can mod the buttons/switches too. Those are a little more difficult as you have to solder them in. The plug n play leds I've tried for those areas just didn't do it for me.

Damn I really like the blue! I plan on doing all the lights that are plug and play, I really don't want to get in to soldering anything quite yet. Those footwell and puddle lights look awesome, I think I'm going to get those and then the rearview mirror lights in blue! Thanks guys.

Be sure to buy one of the super bright kits if you want the footwells to look that bright. The plug n play bulbs will be no where near that brightness.

I have done every color there is and blue still looks the best!
The door reflectors can only be red but the puddle lights can be any color.

I went with White LED's everywhere...

I stripped everything apart and soldered LED's in place of the factory blubs. NOT easy to say the least.
I sure was glad when I finished this ~ 20hr project..
