Alright gonna sound like a branded "chav" but..

investing in a new
interior bulb (blue)
reg lights (white)
new headlight beam (white)
my bandpass enclosure light is white , so getting an interior boot light (white)

sooo on to the questions ,

anyone on here have footwell neons (pictures) and reccomend me somewhere to get them , i do want quite bright ones (blue)
and is there a way to hook them upto the light when the door opens they come on.. but obviously there would e a switch to have them on constant to.

also i want to change the backlight on my dials to blue , how do i go about this and where do i start..

i will be changing the other fiddly button lights in time , just want to get something sorted first.

thanks..,:afro:

to come on with doors you could wire them up to the interior light bulb. you can get these things where its a bulb base with 2 wires coming out...wire up to that and the neons will come on with the door. the easiest way to do it mate. and you can still use the interior light as the switch for always on, always off and with doors.

search the styling section for a guide on changing the dials to blue...search "LED dials 56k" and you'll find the thread. its the longest thread that will be in the search results.

just search ebay for all of the things mate.

As i've been told before "Its very 90s to get footwell neons".


Also may waste battery power during daytime..
May look good at night though. Give it a try depending on the price.
If the bulbs are cheap why not do it, if it looks shite and out of place just take them out and resell/store.

i was thinking of some of these lights but only being able to use them for show and not road legal makes it seem a bit pointless really

nick any idea where to get these fittings that take the place of the bulbs?

also, you can use neons with no trouble as long as you cant see the actual tube only the glow, there was a thread about it a while back.
