Default Randode.com's 08 xB Cold Cathode kit

Randode.com's 08 xB Cold Cathode kit was today as a weekend mod, turned out great!
Pictures also include all my interior lights.... (changed a/c *****, dome, map)
The gauges WILL be done soon, I just have to build up my confidence in soldering first!!











It's a freakin blueberry... With a smashed passenger side door.

Thanks bro :-D
The dome light is a 30x10mm bulb. I ordered a blue Festoon bulb from superbrightleds.com, it's a 9 LED array (Part # 3022-B9) -- would recommend a brighter one (25 LED arrays are available elsewhere.... This one looks like it should do the trick; http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=243 )
While I'm in the festoons, I replaced the rear tailgate light with 3022-B9, had to bend the pin back for the switch to work properly though.... It works fine

The map lights are part # 921-x12 (type 921 bulb) from within "Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs" in superbrightleds.... They are great, work perfectly and dang bright. Have you ever tried reading with blue light though?! It's a trip. I feel like I'm on a space craft.

edit: oh. and always disconnect the black battery cable while working with electronics :] I didn't! haha.

Thanks guys! It's a Canon XTi Rebel/400d, with a Tamaron F2.4 Super Wide Angle. Best combo ever It did however take forever to find a focus point, but hey... it's dark!
Here's some similar shots
