I thought about doing the green but I figured red would look better because red truck. Doing the red dash light isn't that hard of a swap either.

I started to do blue, but went with green because I'm OCD and I wanted the floor to match the dash lights. :p

Woo! Nice job man. I got the same kit a year and a half ago and love it. I used the add-a-fuze to tie mine into the radio. Crank the tunes and play with the adjustment on the box. Tons of fun. Im so used to move i forget they're going sometimes lol. Girls love it at night too :naughty:

That's why I did mine, because these trucks are so dark. The only source of light at night is the dash, which is not much. And, the install isn't all that hard, takes about an hour, and you only need basic tools such as wire strippers, a screwdriver, some side-snips for cutting zip-ties, and a wrench to get your negative battery cable undone. You can either zip tie the tubes up, use the supplied 3M foam adhesive pads, or screw the brackets into a solid surface.

Cool. And where'd you get em from? If they're cheap enough I might put some in my girl's car because I know she'd like em.

LOL ****-lighting?

My boss told me how back when he was a teenager, guys would dip dome light bulbs in different colored paint and keep multiple in the glove box depending on the....situation....:naughty:
Said the blue made em feel not as nekkid. Used red to **** em off. :roflsquared:

No not that more like F*** lights. If I remember we had black lights in the trucks. But i am not sure you can even get those bulbs anymore.

lol you can still get black lights but I don't know if you can get them small enough to put in a truck unless you were using 18in fluorescent with an inverter.

They're great. I love mine and I'm sure you will too. They have a 7 color kit as well but it's not as good. My bro got it and it wasn't as good

Should be. If not most are. Go to superbrightleds.com and use their bulb finding tool to cross reference
