How far back did you attach the strip under the kick panel? I.E. toward the front (closest to your knees), middle, or rear if I was looking under your kick panel?
My parts arrived today and I'll play with them this weekend.

Crazy might be about right!
Mark, you did yours in White if I recall, do you have a good wide shot of your interior? Matt and I are all Red which is pretty rare, White isn't too common either and I've actually stopped doing it, it's just too much effort getting all the butotns to look the same in hue and intensity.
Here's mine and how Matt's looks except that I have Red Gauges in the IPC. The first shot should be excatly how Matt looks including the Door Reflector LED mod;

Your right. White is very difficult to get to look right. I messed with mine for quite a while trying to get it right.
These are the best pics I was able to take so far.
Would you like me to try to get something better ?
Further back from the car ?

The interiors look really lit up because we had our doors open and the coutesy lights were on. During normal driving it is pretty normal, I'll check to see if I have any pics with the coutesy lights out...

I'll warn you now, DO NOT power ANYTHING up until you are 100% positive that there are NO SHORTS in the lighting. I can NOT begin to tell you how many DIYers have fried the power board in the HVAC because one of the LEDs had a solder bridge and ask me if I can fix it... The fix is buying a new HVAC!

James i sent all of my stull off to Tim (TSTAR) who is posting in this thread... PM him, Remove your items, send them to him, PP him, and he will turn them around to you in a timely manner. The install is VERY easy. Quality of his work is unmatched.

Looks very nice, been wanting to change up the cabin interior for awhile now.
Curious, how easy/ hard was it to change out to the Red LEDs in the Mirror Courtesy Lights?
Mine is the 2001 electro chromatic style..
Thanks
