Default need help choosing a color

Okay so I have the 08' xb and as you know the interior lights are orange, so I changed my dome, map and trunk lights to match. I now want to do some cathodes but the only orange I can find are really not orange (and they are not plug and play) Randode has some plug and play but in blue, red, white, purple, and green. Please help choose a color that looks best...Im really leaning towards blue

oznium.com sells a cream coloured cathode, but you have to wire it yourself, but it is very easy

I have no idea how to do that sort of stuff, and I also heard that the orange is really bad it is more like white with just a tint of orange.

It's very easy to do. There are several write-ups on this site.

You can use the LED strips instead of cathodes to get a better orange.

I understand what you guys are saying but how easy is it for someone who knows nothing about wiring or has never hooked up lights before?

chadfo those strips are really orange and would be perfect. I guess I have either call them and see what kind of switch to use for the 08' and find someone who could help me hook them up or go with a different color that is plug and play.

I would use the LED strips if you want orange. the orange cream cathodes are mostly white.
