Default My New Interior Lighting

I just installed my new white cold cathode kit and LED's. Took me about 1 hour to install. Pretty easy to do. Here are some pics!







These were all from Oznium.com, it cost me around 20 bucks shipped which is way better than paying what the dealership charges you.

I thought it would match the amber color much better than blue, green, or red.

If you're going to show off your pedals and floor mats, you might want to vacuum and put some nice pedals on. But it looks very nice! I've always been a fan of white LED's.

Does anyone know if it is possible to hook up my cathodes like this?



So that my cathodes turn on when my dome lights are on and also having a constant 12v wired up to a switch.
