This is a crazy mod that Teddy and I worked on last night. We stopped by Home Depot and picked up a Dremel and some Lexan. The LEDs that were in the compartment were removed and replaced with a 4" Blue Cold Cathode. Major props to Teddy for kickin' ___! :D


Here's a side by side shot with/without lighting.

damn that looks bad ___!!! so there's enough room back there for a cold cathode?? need to look into a color wheel cold cathode then for whoever likes to change up, otherwise that blue looks sweet. Nice work guys!

Thanks man. I was using SEM until I got a whole replacement center console in white. (Drove down to LA to get it). I do plan on doing the door panels in white... end hopefully the whole dash as well!

BTW.. your xB is looking sick! :shock:

m@,

THAT'S SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I think I'd like to something similar to that. except used the dremel to hog out the "bB", then put translucent-white lexan behind that, and light it.

See what you guys started!
