So i guess I can contribute in the electronics side. I am doing LEDs in my car in stratigic places to give a cool glow at night that one can actually have on and still drive too.

I found all of the places, and the correct viewing angle LEDs, correct regulation and resistors. I just have to do it! Stealthredline2 from RLF is going to be doing some as well. I will keep everyone "posted":rollinglaugh: on progress. But I think done classy-like where things "glow" insted of blatently seeing the LED can really spice it up. You can do almost any color too!

Yeah, the RL has lots of dark places at night-cupholders and the footwells just SUCK-so I lit them up. take a peek at the How To I posted for the halo rings.

Already there man! :thumbup: I like the idea... Too much light gets tacky, and I am not a huge fan of outer lights, but that could look awsome. Hell I love the way stock BMW's do it.

This is where I got the idea to do my cupholder (the Scion is in the center) from....I ignored all the other lights inside-that's a little insane for my tastes.

Absoultely. That is exactly what I am doing (again toned down a bit) Mine will be red. The blue looks killer though. Not you have me all hot and bothered to get it all done. :cowsmile:

These are very unique, I personally have never seen another car in the area w/ these. Maybe add some underbody glow eventually.
