Default What color interior cold cathode lighting for RS2?

What color cold cathode lighting does anyone have or recommend to go with the yellow RS2? Yellow is not available. How about green???? Any thoughts appreciated.

definatly go with Randode. I have his Hyper Blue and love it. Install was easy and you'd never know where the wires were hidden. Also the color is so bright you can tell exactly where the dirt in my carpet is

A cheap way to make yellow is to use clear or white bulbs. Then at any art store they have this plastic selifane(sp) stuff that comes in various colors. It cost like 75 cents a sheet. Wrap the tubes in yellow and you have your yellow bulbs.

I purchased some orange sheets for my XBs interior light. Cut a small square out of the orange plastic sheet and put it in my dome light. Perfect orange color to match the rest of the car when it lights up and cost me pennies.

Technially most states consider it illegal to have the interior lights on while driving... they're really for "off road use only" as most things state. Of course, some states vary.

I can get yellows if you are interested. Also, randode, if you want them let me know and I can buy in bulk. PM me if interested. And just to clarify, they are cathodes.

I can get them too, but am not really impressed with how washed out they look.
