yup, i'm sure he did. I have mine blue too, had em for a couple months now (the door controls that is, had everything else for a while now lol).

Here's a pic with my blue everything on. Cupholders, map/dome lights, footwells, start button, dash cluster (LCD screens are blue too) :biggrin: , door controls, courtesy lights. (trunk light is blue too, but obviously u cant see it lol)

What bulbs did you use for the doors? Also, do you know what bulb to use to get the PRD in the auto stick to light up blue? I like the look.

i was wondering if the door controls can be painted like some people have done with their gauge clusters. if the bulbs in the door controls are white and it's just orange paint on the switches then i don't see why not, much cheaper than the surman package

The only people I know that painted their gauge cluster was Phenom and he hack the chit out of his. :tisk:

I've never actually broken down the door controls but I'm in the middle of doing my interior so I guess now I'll have to take a look. If it's soldered on surface mount LEDs than it's a lot more complicated than changing out a bulb.

there's a few members who have painted their clusters, ther'es a thread in the interior section where 3 or so people have done it. i'm rather reluctant to change any soldered on bulbs so if painting's an option than i'd rather do that

it's a 194 bulb. but it's the letters themselves, not the bulb, that's orange. i learned that when i changed out the bulb recently.

yeah, but right on top of the bulb it's white because the LED is so bright. i suppose if the blue LED is bright enough, the orange wouldn't really show
