Right, the first thing was done the day that I picked her up. I added some twin blue neons from Canadian Tire under the dash. They were originally put in as a gag, but I liked them so much I hardwired them into the power outlets, and added a second set to the rear bench seat.
I have since removed all of the neons and replaced them with LED light bars. You get a much brighter and spread out light from the LED's, as long as you shave the heads off to act as a diffuser.
Now that I really have the mod bug full-on, I started changing the colour of the dash lights. Here is stage 1...
Next was I ordered blue led bulbs for all of the interior/dash/console lights. I am putting them in as I get them. The first set was the instrumentation bulbs here...
The picture makes it look like you can't see the needles, but that was just because i adjusted the exposure to show of the blue, they are still plenty bright.
I got some of loose led's and resistors for some real custom work the other day and was able to rig up some extra dash lighting for the spot under the stereo and the spot under the ashtray. I will be doing all of the door handles next.
Here is the completed project. All of the dash lights including all switches, both on the dash and in the doors, were converted to blue LED's.
**UPDATE**
The Computer was installed in the trunk and runs off of the screens in the dash. Also lit up the cupholders and moved all of the switches for the exterior lights into the center console, easily in reach of my right hand. I also finally colour matched the interior to the exterior midnight blue. Looks black/dark blue until the sun hits it directly, when it looks bright blue.
Headrest monitors installed this past November in all 4 headrests. Total number of monitors is now 9.
***Update. After 6 months of hard work, and teahcing myself to fibreglass, I have completed my new custom boxes.***
The vinyl is temporary until the second part of the trim plate is built and backlit.
This is the latest addition. A retracting dj stand for the DJ console and 19" monitor. Everything hides neatly behind the 19" but when I wasnt to psin a bit, the screen lifts on an atriculating arm and the controls slide forward.
