LEDs help me decide

remember its accent lighting. Just a touch. Subtle is the key. I dont even have any of the pics of the vents done but it was pretty cool looking. I think I had the door pockets accented too.

Doing the vents really looks nice & it's not too hard to do, but it also separates "Joe Blow" from someone who takes a little more time to take things apart instead of slapping thing on.

i got blue led strips under my dash and i love em, if u drop something while driving and dont want to "find" it with your fingers all u halfto do is glance at it and pick it up, u cant even see em untill i turn em on, mine are wired to the orange illumination wire for the headunit so when i turn on my parking lights they come on

i also want to wire in some white led strips under the dash so when i open my doors they will light up with my led dome light to give it that extra touch but i dont want to run wire threw my headliner just for this, is there a wire i can tap into in the kick or floor board to have the leds come on when i open my door? i thought maybe tap into that switch in the door so when its shut they go out but i dunno how that will work

ive got pruple acual neon underbody lights with transformer, under my truck but i guess i didn't have it wired right cause when i got almost done i found out the hard way i was laying on top of a fire ant nest and they ate my ass up so i just had to rush threw it, i might just take em off and put em under my bed n run em with my comp power supply, they work but when u tap a bulb they cut off so i unno whats wrong with it

you could prolly try these people, they got alot of led stuff that u could prolly make work for u http://www.oznium.com/

I love inside the vents. 10mm in mine

Only other lighting I plan on is to light up my door panels since I have the custom speaker mounts on them.

Plus I'll have my custom switch mount done this weekend and with 5-8 rocker switches in the center of my console shining straight up I'll have some affect from those too.

And my stinger voltage meter also.

I had thought about the dom lights but when I open my doors I have lights under my sideview mirrors that come on (safety feature i suppose) and unless I changed those I think it would clash.

The vents would work cause I also have two in my center console for the back seat area. I even have vents in my back hatch.

Pink and blue combo would work considering my seat covers are black with blue and silver flower outlines.

would a few strips (as in all the way across the hatch) work better for the back hatch or just a few lights here and there??

You got the neon light bug! :peepwall:

id put them where u can hide them and not actually see the neon or led light, under the seats, dash, under the truck that would be it IMO. on mine i did the gauges but im not 100% happy with them :pardon:

Never put lights in if you actually see the source. That just makes it look like trash. Under seats, in vents, tucked under dash, inside door and panel pockets, front grill, tucked under door handles. Don't just stick a neon tube or led in the open and call it a day. If you can see the bulb in the day don't do it.

Yea not digging the stadium lighting that Ruckus got going on there LOL....... dont wanna be blinded by the light. And yea definitely dont want them showing for easy access to steal, they want my shit they gonna have to work for it.

I do have a light thats out in my dash, that be one way of getting around to fixing it. LOL

Thought about the front grill but not too sure about that. I think that if I was wanting to do the underglow I would but idk. Its not like I have the money to do any this right now anyway.

If I were to do any outside lighting I think I would have to change the blubs in the side view mirrors..... dammit so many choices trippy.gif

These. If you can see the source it looks like you just threw them in there, plus only seeing the glow looks better if you really want lighting.
