    Got a blue LED dome light and some trim painted

    Thought I'd throw up some pics :

    Thats the best pic, my digital camera can be a pain to hold steady at night. Got a couple more on page two at cardomain.com/id/garrettsocling

    I got the LED at superbrightleds.com (good company to work with, fast ship, etc etc), one of the 'festoon' style bulbs. Wasn't a direct replacement, but the dimensions were the same and the dome lamp clip holds it so I'm satisfied. Also bought one of their T1.5 instrument panel LED and bastardized it into my dash, but I am not as satisfied. Its too bright out the front, I'm going to have to decide what to do to cut it down a notch (was thinking of painting the top of the LED silver). I think if they made a T1 it would fit, as it was the same style base, just a size too big. Real shame.

    Oh, and I got the idea for the trim from polo, as soon as I saw his I knew I would have to do that as well. I decided to start slow (just the two door pieces and the lower section of the center console).

    What bulb did you? And could the other lcd bulbs be used as a replacment for the other bulbs in the car (i.e. the tailights and turn signals)?

    3022-4 LED Festoon bulb, but I think a slightly larger one (or one with more pointed tips) would work a bit better. It took me a minute or so to get it to stay in the holder, but once I got it in place, it doesn't come loose.

    I didn't notice any appropriate bulbs there, but superbrightled.com has a couple different product lines.

    I have noticed LED (either break or turn) bulbs at WalMart, of all places!
