Not based on what I have seen so far.

The cupholder looks more blue while the footwell looks more aqua. Just the pictures or what?

Could you take a picture from standing outside the car door (door open obviously) so you could see the whole effect together?

No, It does not work as part of the dimmer switch.

It's mostly the picture. Depending at what angle I look at the light it does look a bit different. I need to charge the battery for my Camera. I will take some more pics tomorrow.

Do you have to manually turn it on and off?

I just installed this kit yesterday while I was at 2SSRS's place. Install was fairly easy. At night the cup holder and footwell lights come on with all the other interior lights in the car, during the day they are off (not on), if you go into a dark tunnel or pull into your garage and yours lights come on these lights will also come on. I noticed five setting for the switch - 1. Dim Blue, 2. High Blue, 3. Dim Red, 4. High Red, (these 4 settings are controlled by a push of the button - Manual Mode) 5. Automatic Cycle Mode (after 4 to 5 seconds, lights change to the next setting). I am very GLAD I added this feature to my car.

Glad to hear that they come on with the lights. You did an awesome job on the install and now I want to do mine after I get my CAI. Thanks for the pictures and information.

Edscapade · 05-08-2011, 11:15 PM

Looks good - definitely a mod I want to do.

Zeus95 · 05-09-2011, 07:50 AM

Very Cool !! Nice touch !

Asian Zero · 05-09-2011, 04:16 PM

looks real good. Definately would not pay what GM charges though....i did my own cup holders, interior door handles, and gauge cluster area lighting for about $30. if you add in the front and rear footwells and a rear deck light i probably spent $200 total. i even got the footwells synced up to music if need be.

WCoolBreeze · 05-09-2011, 08:13 PM

Well on my car I wanted to stay with GM Parts and not use aftermarket STUFF. For most everything I have done with my car I have used GM parts and if I have not it is because I could not get the item from GM, cause they do not make it. For the GM stuff I have added I have gotten it at a reduced price.

Will this work on a 1ss?

CliffjumperRS · 05-20-2011, 08:05 AM

yep, taps into existing harnesses, will work on all models & trim levels.
