Blue ambient light controls??

Hello,
Was wondering if there are controls for the blue ambient light on the ceiling and in the foot wells. Would like to brighten them up.

If I cannot brighten them, I guess I would need some brighter blue LED (4 bulb).
Any idea on how to access the ceiling light bulb and remove it, and install a new one?
Same with footwell??

Thanks for any tips. D

the footwells have a frosted cover on them, you can remove then for more light. For the lights up in the console, you will have to replace them.

ya, The TL - 08 (mine) has a simple footwell light on the passanger and driver side only.

ITs rather dim though, so I will probably repalce the bulb with a multiLED bulb....if it works?!

Or as mentioned earlier in the thread to remove the frosted light cover. I may do this myself to brighten up the footwells.

Guys, I just had my interior lights done yesterday. They came out awesome and it truly adds to the look of the car. I had my Type S red lights enhanced-meaning I had 4 LED strips installed. Two in the front (to enhance what was already there) and then two installed in the back seat area-to match the fronts.

Here's the link for a more detailed description-it's done by Rockyfeller. Pictures are included. This does not cover replacing the dome lights or door lights-just the existing footwell lights. Sorry for the bad pic below, but this gives you an idea of what it looks like in the front.

Wow...thanks you guys. I need to take better pictures and post them. Rockyfeller was the inspiration for this. He did his interior first and he posted his pictures first. I copied his job, but it really looks great. Plus, he posted exact install details in the "Photograph" section of Acurazine.

Out4fun, I got my Dead Pedal from ultimatepedals.com. Mine actually has the Type S logo on top of the pedal, but Ultimate Pedals can actually embed the Type S logo into the pedal. Bearcat did this and it turned out awesome. They are simple to install too. The just screw into the existing rubber pedal on the car.
