Interior in the dark
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:12 pm
First picture post! Snapped a few pictures of my interior lighting mods so far, nothing too special. Disclaimer: All orange lights are darker than they appear, my crap camera made them a little more yellow.
vvv I did my gauge cluster in orange, since everyone else does blue. I used incandescent bulbs (dyed glass, not crappy painted decorative bulbs), because I knew they'd spread the light out well. Plus, they were $0.50 each. It didn't really show up, but anything that used to be red is still red.
vvv I did my heat vents with orange incandescent bulbs too, and for the hvac, I sanded all the color off so I have just a clear plastic sheet, and left the stock bulbs in for orange. It's an interesting look, IMO, but I'm probably the only one who thinks so.
vvv Cupholder LEDs and orange painted center console. I put an orange light in the lower compartment to cast a glow on the center console and floor.
vvv Cupholders
vvv I put 2 blue LEDs behind the shifter just for accent light, they basically just shine on the ceiling and my hand. They don't affect my vision at night in any way.
vvv Blue ceiling.
vvv Everything with the stereo, which is really a dark red.
