Default Help me choose an LED color theme

Trying to decide if I want to do my effects lights in blue or red. (ex, interior cruising lights, vent lights, show lights etc)

What do you think?

Depends on the color of your interior. Blue is more striking, but I opted for red because I think it lights up the the black/tan interior better.

I have the same exterior and I went with the bright white, just seemed to go better with the MSG, and really makes the chrome accents pop. Classy and very eye catching with the white.The only blue I have is in the door speakers that light as the bass hits.
But that is my opinion, I am sure whatever color you choose, white, blue or red, it will enhance the appearance of the car. Have fun with it.

Umm, all your guys' suggestions are worthless with posting pics! Lets see um.

I have the same exterior and a Black/Grey interior and went with the the red as i thought that would look the best. Just received them, so I'm immune to my own suggestion at this point.
