Just read those guides bro, buy the ones BlackAck tells you to on like the third page i think. I installed them the other day takes like.. 15mins max for Both Doors, Dome, Trunk, Glove Box, don't do your maps you'll regret it imo :p

 

I just buy leds and resistors from radioshack, it's much cheaper that way. It does require some electrical knowledge and simple calculations.

btw I didn't do my maps either, just dome, box and doors....and side markers....and neon plate light.

 

Yeah, I think I'm gonna change my maps back to white

 

They're nice as white i think, all i might do is hyper white, but i can't imagine them as blue after trying to find stuff with my blue dome lol

 

I have blue in the doors, trunk, and dome. I had them in the maps too, but you can't see ANYTHING with them, so now I have 9-LED white bulbs. They light up the whole interior very well.

 

I bought blue 194 bulbs for my map lights and noticed that the bulb in the maplight looks completely different...like its not a screw in bulb i guess? Do I have to add anything as well as the bulb for the maplights/doorlights/dome light? I want to do all this stuff, but when I took it apart and looked, I was like fuck this haha

 

Didn't do my maps but they should be like the doors, dome, trunk, glovebox. Just buy the bulbs the super bright LED ones need to have -/= in the right spot (shouldnt all of them?) so touch them to see which way they need to be in order to turn on. Once you figure that out just push them in. Make sure they point out... and you dont bend or break an LED :p that always worried me when i put mine on.

 

i have everything in blue even my gauges but i would prefer white led but the gauges have a green tint paper built in that if u put white led's it will light up as green so before you buy leds i highly recomend you dont buy them if you have those intentions because i threw away money and i was pist lol (doors reading and glove box lights are fine)

 

i appreciate this alot folks thanks i will do my research

 

Dont have plans on doing my gauges i just want the doors and dome light to be blue when the doors open

 

Trust me, once you get the doors and ceiling blue, you'll want the gauges to match

 

is it me or does blue seem ?

 

no comment, I stuck with Green

 

Regrettably, many ricers do have blue lights. But I don't like green, red would not match my beige interior, and something like yellow or purple would be :ghey:. If I had the gray/charcoal interior, I'd have red lights everywhere.

 

how bout white?

 

i like the blue, and everyone who's been in my car has loved the blue lights.

 

personally red is my fav color, so i went with red LEDs

 

+1 I get props everytime i open my doors.

But any color imo would get equal props as long as they dont clash with your interior

 

Eh, if I'm going to have white I might as will just have incandescent bulbs. I have colored LEDs for the "cool" factor. If that makes it rice, then oh well. With the beige interior I don't have a lot of options, so I'm just doing the best with what I have.

 

Green is my favorite color so I redid all mine in green, but not that blue/puke green that comes stock

Why not get purple to match your d2's
