Not to thread hijack, but here's a picture at dusk (at night all you see is a green spot on a bunch of black) from the side:

Nice job on the LEDs guys! I'm not too crazy about all the neon glow in my car but I have to say I could use some more lighting in a few areas so I may have to get some white LEDs and install in a few places.

I've been using these for LED installs. Covers the edges of the drilled hole and keeps the LED right in place.

Thanks for the pict! I almost wanted to hijack that pict from your posting after failing to get a good shot at night with my digi cam. :oops: Maybe i will try later at dusk where its still brighter and yet still dark enough to see the light. Thanks again !

The led that i am using come with those but i realised that i have to drill a much larger hole to fill them in, i think 6.5mm or 7mm, with just the led i drilled only a 5mm hole the led fits nicely into. But from your link its seem to cost a little WAY too much for those little things.

Dcool: it helps to put your camera (I assume you've got a digital one) on a tripod or something stable like the seat and use the "best shot selector" feature, if your camera has it.

Ok so i put the the blue led's in the handles and it looks good except that since i painted the pillars black the whole interior in the "illegal zone" shines blue, but besides that i looks great.

I have been told by many people that blue and red are illegal colors to shine at night so by saying the "illegal zone" i meant that the blue could be seen very visible from the outside of the vehicle meaning i could get pulled over and ticketed (even though it is a non moving violation)

That's not a neon strip, it's 2 LEDs. They're totally invisible when they're not on.

My friends company which I work with as well (Street Force Ultimate LED's) does interior lighting very nicely. check out the site or ask me for more information. We have sold a lot recently to ScionLife members, and we hope to continue to do so..... looks nice though! Ill post pics of my xA RS1 with interior LEDs soon
