No problem man, just let me get home, ill be able to post them in about 5-6 hours. But the LEDs are actually a deeper blue in the backseat. The reason for that is because of the different brand lights. But I've actually gotten comments about how they like how it looks as if it fades to brighter in the front of the car. lol. But i gotcha when i get home.

That looks seriously bright! I like that you lit up the rear of the interior, but not really a fan of how you did it... I'm of the school of thought that one should only be able to see the glow of the the interior lighting and not the actual source. That being said, the back seat is generally well hidden since it's a coupe.

I do, however, love how you did the cup holders! For my fronts I've just got a pair of superfluxes hidden beneath the tabs, but I set up my rears just like yours. Stupidly bright!

To pac4life81:A great source for LEDs is Oznium. They've got incredible customer service (second to none IMHO) and you generally can't go wrong with their products.

Ohhhhh ESP, trust me im not either. I spent some time trying to come up with where to put that 38 In. strip of LEDs xD I ended up sick of trying to have them hidden, so i basically took the small adhesive strips and stuck them to the lights and slapped them on the seats' seem. >.> And yeah the cup holders were just a spur of the moment type of deal. I had bought the expandable lights for the kit i ordered. But i ended up with two extra tubes from the front, *i bought 6 tubes, 2 for each front side* But since i had extra, i broke the hard plastic coverings off and wrapped them up, slid them into the cup holders, and ran the wires so they were hidden :D

And pac, the place i got the 4 tube kit from was -

And the backseat's 38 in strip and switch i bought came from Oznium.com as ESP mentioned. Both are great sources, but Ozinum has much more respecty and credit. >.< Also, i picked up some door panel lights from Auto Zone, $2.98 for two blue lights to replace the BS white lighting for when you open your door is always nice =]]]

PS. ESP, you been followed or pulled over for driving with yours on? I have :] i love having stupidly bright glow, ppl dont get how i drive with it, but unlike many ppl i actually focus on the ROAD. lmao. Ive been warned, and ive seen an on foot cop radio in, and had a cop waiting for me at the intersection a couple times. *b/c i goto football games, gotta love the attention:]]]*

I'm right there with ya...the coupe is one of the hardest cars I've had to hide lights in.As far as being pulled over, I haven't had any problems thus far. Keep in mind that my tint is pretty dark and my LEDs aren't overly bright simply because of the shorter wavelength of UV and green LEDs.

lmao Swrong, i keep an eye out when i am driving with them on. And ESP, no doubt, how'd you hide yours? Also, I drive with the windows down 98% of the time, along with my sunroof open. So yeah, i make sure the car next to me gets the full effect. IMHO, its a feeling of joy to have cars squeeze further up behind the person in front of them just to get a full side view inside your car, that way you can look at them and get the "OH SH*T, HES LOOKING BACK" look. xD

Yeah i was having trouble, especially b/c my maain priority was AT LEAST hiding my wiring. But i found a spot which was i could use the adhesive to stick it to those little seat flaps, hard to explain, theye like those velcrow *cant spell?* straps along the seem of your backseat. *not sure if its in the coupe only*

I have blue dome lights and blue feet lights in my sedan and I want to add more so bad, I think this thread is gonna make me do it.

By pair do you mean 1 in each holder or 2 in each? And do you think they are bright enough?

I don't know what the coupes holders are like but the sedan is just this unit that you stick into a hole and it has 3 holders. Because we don't have the felt tabs I was thinking about taking the holder unit out and putting a couple of led strips under it then drilling some holes in the bottom of my holder so when I popped it back in some light passed through the holes. Anyone think that's an idea worth trying?

I'm like ESP, I don't want the LED to be visible, just the glow.

ohh thanks. so i installed the lights but now the front map light doesnt work but the left one does. i tried switching the bulbs and they both work on the left side but none of them works on the right. so it wasnt a defect in the bulb. the slot on the right where i stick the light in seems to be much loose (meaning i can wiggle around the light wayy more than i can the left)does anyone know how i can fix it?
