I put in Blue Leds from Superbright Leds and they look fantastic, Only took about an hour to hook up myself. Leds are the way to go

Hey Justin in your oppion are the Orange LED more orange or amber. I put some Led accent lighting under the hood is a very deep orange can't seem to find any orange everything is a lighter shade of amber. I am looking for some strips about a foot to 15 inches long. to go under the hood if they are a deep orange. Thanks

Justin- It looks to me that that car has the inferno orange interior. Where that car has orange ( door panels and around the gauges) my car has green. Wouldn't my car look better with green dome light and footwells? I am still afraid that it will be too green but I think I have talked myself into it. I am not sure the orange lighting will go with the green already in my car. What are your thoughts? I know you have seen more than me- I have only seen my stock car. Thanks again for your input.

I put the white dome light in mine...and it's BLINDINGLY bright. (I absolutely love the look of it...but it's uncomfortable) I may opt for an orange one myself. My suggestion for you is to go with a colored one to dull the brightness.

After pulling the bonehead stunt of placing my elbow on one of my CCFL during the install of my footwell lights and completely shattering it, I am thinking I would have ordered the LED footwell lights as they are probably less delicate. I how have a new CCFL on order to replace the one I broke and since it is blue, I will be waiting on the back-order. Price you pay for not being careful.

Based on my experience and if I had known LEDs were available, I would have gone the LED route.

Also consider your carpet color! Don't know if it's been mentioned before or much, but everytime I have a grey carpetted car come in, I know that footwell kits are a slam dunk.

They look so much better in these cars than the black carpetted ones since the grey reflects more light.

Either way, the Footwells are awesome and glad to see people lovin them as well!
