Interior Lighting Questions
 
I'm looking to get some interior lighting for my car underneath the driver & passenger side, similar to the image below. Something subtle and not too bright. What's the best one to purchase and where do I purchase it from:

i wanna do the same thing to my car. not too sure where to buy those lights at but you can use led strips or neon lights. just an idea! probably next week i'm gonna remove those panels and install some leds in there.

The ambient lighting kit from the dealership has this effect without the blue.

You can find several on ebay, but I question the quality of the products out there. If you end up removing those panels, I'll be looking forward to the posted pics :)

Hmm...I didn't know the dealership sells a kit for it...cool. I'll give them a shout tomorrow to see pricing details, etc. I'm sorta leaning towards something with a blue light though so hopefully something pops up on the internet

Thanks brother! That's my bad actually...I should have known better to post something as general as that before doing the search.

i actually tried this mod today but couldn't find a power source that will turn the lights on when you open the door...i tried going route of dome lights but no luck and gave up..any ideas?

i bought some cool cathodes for computers

i still got a whole bunch of blue and white leds that i can't finish using them. so, i'm probably gonna use those and not put them to waste. yeah! i'll be sure to take some pictures if i'm gonna do it.

but it'll come on when you turn on your parking light though. that's what i will do. or you could make a complete separate switch for it

yeah, i already got a parking light wire already but i'm still figuring out if i have enough power or not to run so many leds? might have to put a relay in there.

go with leds over neon. lasts longer, less fragile, less heat.

Check DIY section, Doug has done this. I've added to it.
