pythonjosh's 1999 Toyota Solara Here is a picture of side view mirror housing. I was thinking, expeditions have turn signal led's on the mirror itself. I came up with my own idea and put the led behind the mirror so it doesn't take up any real estate on the mirror. Plus why would you want a bright led (or more) right on something you're trying to focus on?
pythonjosh's 1999 Toyota SolaraHere is a shot of my center console. I have replaced a number of lights with red leds. If you can't spot them already, I've replaced the A/C light, the Cig Lighter light, the Ash Tray light, and (you can barely see) the light around the ignition. I also have neons under the dash, and an led in each vent. The led lighting up the shifter is my led switch I have hooked up to the under dash neons, the led tubes under the seats, the ignition light, the vent led's, and the black light in my cluster. And at the very top you can see my statue of Shivji (Shiva), the Hindu god. I also coiled one of my shed snake skins around it for added protection.
pythonjosh's 1999 Toyota Solara This is my cluster project. Here is what it looks like without the headlights on. I have a uv black light neon lighting up the cluster and red uv active paint on the needles and the entire bezel. My dig camera sure does retain a lot of glare too. It's nowhere near that bright. The project is still incomplete as the neon will be relocated to the top of the cluster.

Absolutely SICK lighting mods. You're damn good with car electronics, at least next to someone liek me who's relatively clueless. -chris
