I love sharpies :-) I took out a bunch of my interior bulbs and sharpied them blue.


I really like the outcome 'cause it isn't super bright but it glows.

 

pro!

 

what year did they add the convenience lights to the doors? i assume after the facelift? i sure wish i had them. anyone ever added them? i know i could do it with a string of 12v LEDs.

 

FTW I know a bunch of people do this with red to make guages match the stock orange.

I'll post pics of my red after I do them later tonight. I'll be using some spare red lighting gels I picked up for free.

 

Imagox did this before on Nano...

About the sharpies...
Someone try this with red on the interior lights. It would be cool at night to have that "cockpit" lighting.

 

Mines a 2006.

Red would make a cockpit type glow lol.

 

I have then on an 05, I think they started with the interior water fall and under radio stack lighting in 05.

I'm finishing up my red gel install just the foot wells left (skipping the doors)

 

And I did end up doing the doors as well. I'll get some better photosnext time I have my remote releaseonme and lockup themirror to eliminate the camera shake.

 

Very cool indeed. Being red, you can run with them on too, and it won't distract that much.

I bought xenon interior lights, I like the pure light they give. Forgot where I bought them. I will check their business card when I get back in mid Dec. if anyone wants to know.

 

Wow! that red is cool!! How easily can you get spare bulbs? Id love to do this in red but id like to have the option of going back the normal color.

 

Any auto parts store and most wal marts should have you covered they're all standard, I wont have my sheet with the numbers handy until tomorrow though

 

awesome, im totally doing it tomorrow.

 

Cool.
Where did you get the gel from? Last place I saw light gel was a head shop, and I haven't been to one of those in many moons.

 

I used to do techincal theatre (now I pretty much just guide HS kids through it) and you can pick it up for a few bucks for a huge sheet from a lighting equipment supplier. This was just some spare red that wasn't big enough to be reused in a theatre light so I snagged it on its waytothe dumpster.

Here is a link the basics of what it is, LINK

 

OK - dummy here - the "Gel" idea is pretty cool, I did go to the link.. please explain to me, what type of gel did you use and how did you do it??? Tube, sheet, roll, ???
