Default LED Interior installed... (Red)

A big thumbs up to Tstar! (Tim)... What a great guy to deal with. Pics are not great but you get the idea. I would highly recommend Tim for ANY of your lighting ideas.



Gonna get some more pics tonight once it is dark outside... Stay tuned.

Looks great!

I've had my red LED strips for months. I ordered 194 bulb adapters from fleabay for a couple of bucks, so I can hook everything up.

Can't wait to install them!

Thanks for the kind words Matt, the lighting looks great! I should loan you my camera though!

IF you ever want to convert your gauges (IPC) to red, get ahold of Xtremevette.

What I do is solder in 5mm or 3mm LEDs into the stock locations at varying angles and depths and sometimes multiples to get the best lighting effect possible. A few buttons I have to drill into and embed an LED right into it.

A plug and play type 74 NEO wedge (the majority of our bulbs) work really well in a few areas like the door switches and sometime the trunk release/fog lights switch, everything else really needs to be custom installed...
