[greenmachine]

i too have been thinking about it (green) thank you thank you for posting this!!! oh did i say thank you?

[97rs4life]

no prob. guys

Well when you do it chad..make the colors flow with the interior..cant have different color greens ..it'll looks whack lol

I was thinking of doing that, but I don't know how well the orange LED's would show up behind the HVAC controls and everything, and I want everything to match, so I would end up doing like a couple of rows of orange LED's in the headliner between the T-Tops. . . . Any ideas you guys may have, please PM them to me!

....i always photoshop before I work

Do you guys think that orange LED's would actually even show up behind the HVAC and headlight switches and stuff? I want to do that to my gauges, too, but I don't want to have to tear it all apart to replace the bulbs because they don't show up. . . . And I suck at photoshop, so I have no idea. . . . lol

HEY! The row of LEDs in the headliner between the ttops is my copyrighted idea. Bah everyone taking away my car's unique ideas.

Hey, I thought you had them somewhere else? I want to do that too, but it will be different than yours. . . Like Orange LED's in the shape of the Chevy Bowtie. . . . Badass, eh? I want to use them in other places, too. Like in the door panel storage areas, above the stereo, other random places like that.

I got a lot of LEDs throughout my car. The running tally so far:

7 in my gauge cluster
1 in my defrost switch
2 in my lock switch bezels (1 per door)
2 in my map light (1 per side)
5 down my headliner
2 in my dome light

That's it so far.

So I have your permission to steal your idea, right? lol I think I want to get reverse-glow gauges, so I won't be using LED's there, but in the headliner and where I mentioned before. How long did it take you to do the ones in your headliner? I want to custom-build a switch panel to fill in the cassette holder thingy in my center console, and I'm fabricating a custom overhead console using parts from my Blazer, so I'll come up with something for that. . . . Maybe a bunch of strobes or something. . . .

Oh yeah, the Blazer overhead console has 4 swiveling map lights and a normal dome light. . . That's a crapload of strobes! lol
