Red Interior Lighting?
Okay..So I have a White SS/RS with Black Stripes.

I am going to some LED lighting.

Cupholder, door handles connected to the dash lighting.

And floor lighting connected to the dome lighting.

I want to change it to red. Would this clash with the white car or would it look okay?

No this is not a troll question, just looking for an opinion.

I have an electrical engineering degree, so this won't be an issue to accomplish.

I think it'd look great, man. Red glow from the interior would be sort of "ominous".

I replaced my ABL with red, sadly even with superbrights it ends up pretty dim. I think what you propose is far past what I did. Black and Red FTW!

I also had my interior trim painted the same metallic red as on the exterior and it looks pretty darn good...

I was thinking 470ohm resistors for each LED. This should keep them at a safe range without being at risk for burning out.

Anyone here agree/disagree?
