Interior accent lighting. [56k will fail]

So after the whole neon fiasco, I got some ideas. Most of you have seen my engine bay cold cathode kit, now I have completed my interior footwell and back seat floor lighting project.

Engine bay lighting pics: https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-1997-1999-56/little-something-new-731587/

Drivers side, door closed, windows up, 35% tints.



Passenger side, door closed, windows up, 35% tints.



Drivers side, door open.





Passengers side, door open.





Front seats.



Rear seats.



I got the bars from here. http://www.oznium.com/piranha-bar
They were only $4.99 a 10 inch bar when they first came out when I got them. Now they skyrocketed to $8.99 because of increasing popularity.

Here they are.



Also ordered natural white dome led, door leds, and corner leds from superbrightleds but they gave me red ones...

I am going to play with some blue celophane paper to try to get that indigo glow to match the gauges and see if I like it and also getting a dimmer switch ASAP. Wayy too bright at night imo. Still love it though. I'm sure superman would hate it..

Thanks man! Read the end. Already have the map lighting leds. The trunk I completely forgot about but it doesn't really matter to me.

I dunno man, isn't accent lighting supposed to be more of an accent, not a main focus?

I feel like its too much, but it could just be me?

Haha nah man, it's not just you. They are ridiculously bright which is why I am getting a dimmer switch.

Yup. By dimmer switch, potentiometer, or resistors. And if for some strange reason that won't work, I could always tint them.

Just get some wheels you really like, a nice drop, and sway bars.
I laugh when you say these things to me, and then do these things.

Yeah, I was gonna get hyper white like Lexus but I really wanted green so I could dim them and tint them blue to match the gauges.

Haha sorry, been busy lately. I ziptied the fronts up in the foot wells to where you can't see the bars or wires and slid the passenger front through the hinge of the glove box. I need to take pics.
and the rears, cut off that thing that covers the bottom of the seat and ziptied them to the little squiggly bars that hold the cushon on the seat. Again, I need pics to explain better. I'll post some tomorrow.

I've had green LED bulbs and bars in my interior for close to 5 years

I also made a diy on how to hardwire and where to mount the bars, I have a set hardwired to the interior lights, and I have seperate in my front and back wired to a powered switchbox, just was wondering where he put his bars compared to mine
