Next lighting upgrade?

I have just put some lighting on my Camaro, and I need suggestions on what I should do next?

This is what I have:
JDP Color Changing Halos
Oracle Footwell Lighting
Oracle Grill Light
Oracle Bow Tie Light
License Plate Lighting
Oracle T10 36LED Dome Light (on the way)





What should I do next, not to expensive though. Thanks!

I was thinking about those, but $200 seems a bit expensive for something like that. How big of a difference do they make?

I would definitely take sidemarkers over underglow. Just kind of takes away from the car in my opinion. What about afterburners?

I did a NightOwlLEDs kit. You could add one to control all of you new lights. Check them out!

That's what I was considering, but that would void there warranty. Has anyone done this and can tell us how difficult the install is?

It really depends on how much you want to spend in the next lighting mod. Night owls depending on your setup can be pricy. I have the same setup as you plus much more and the night owl system cost me $700 and still needs to be installed. However, it was a must mod to consolidate all my remotes to one iPhone app.

As for the side markers I agree this is a must mod with what you have so far. I did these early on in my install process and use them daily. Daily referring to day time and night. When I get into the car I turn them on which activates my tail burners and rear Bow tie. I opted for the tinted ones since I wanted some break up in the sides. I have seen the ghost ones and they look good but wanted a darker accent in those areas. I would definitely add those soon though in either tinted or ghost.


As for under glow I have these as well and rarely use them only for shows. Under glow was something I wanted but knew it would not be used daily ie during the day as well.

I also have wheel lights hex vents lighting engine lighting and fender lighting.

Another mod that I highly recommend is the emblem pro switch for the cup holder and also master switch for console. It allows quick on and off of lights and control at finger tips. Prevents drilling in dash and foot well area.
I incorporate with night owl allowing night owl to change the color and mode but switches cut the power when needed.
