What color to change my interior lights to?

[Zachohs]

Okay, so my ruck is the dark garnet red paint color,
I'm going to start out with the map lights and the dome light, eventually changing out the gauges lights and all the other lights. but what color to change them all to?

Thanks,
Zach

I think red would look good and plus it'll match the truck

 

[Zachohs]

okay, just got an idea, since the regular bulbs are halfway cheap $3-4 for a couple of I guess they would be tinted glass bulbs, just put those in and turn on the lights and look, I got some blue glass ones, I might get some red in tonight to see what would look better. I'll post pics tomorrow of what it looks like.

yah, I'm gonna order some after I decide on the color. Also, how do you fix the sun visors from falling down on their own?

 

[nim81]

Good question. My old 02' did that and I hated it. So I got an 06'. Lol

If nobody else chimes in, I may heat up the holder clip that you pop it out of and squeeze it in a little, or try a little bit of electrical tape on that part.

 

[Zachohs]

oh and what velcro did you use that actually stuck to the roof padding?

 

[Zachohs]

okay, sorry I didn't get around to pics...(camera was dead) but looking at it, the red looks very nice... although I am also going to wire in, more or less hidden, very bright led lights that all come on with one switch, for looking around at night..... but what bulbs do y'all suggest for the red led? the two map lights and the dome, the maps are 212-2 stock bulbs and the dome accepts a 194 bulb, but the current bulb is much larger than that as far as the filament and glass area but the base is the same.. So what bulbs

red LEDs are the best IMO for interior lights. Red light does not affect your night vision so it safer to use while driving. And they look Bad Ass

 

[Zachohs]

dang, those are some bright bulbs, what kind or whatever? and I agree that looks b a

 

[reddot]

they are leds and I think I got the from a combo of advanced automotive concepts(AAC) and superbrightleds.com they are just the replacement bulbs but I think I can do better and would like them brighter if possible.
Think im going to try one of these boards for all the light I could use.
LED Dome Lights

pretty sure I got the resistor kit for the front dome lights from AAC.

 

[Zachohs]

ok, cool thanks

 

[Zachohs]

if ya go with the boards let me know how they work, I'm highly interested in how they work

Red looks a little to much if you ask me looks like a rolling darkroom if actually want to use get white

 

[Zachohs]

nah, my truck is a maroon color, so the red would actually bring it together, but thanks for the info on the white, yet they remind me too much of stock bulbs for some reason

 

[reddot]

i might put my order in some time this week.

 

[Zachohs]

nice let me know, or just post a few pics, if ya wouldn't mind

 

[reddot]

oh im never shy with pics

Well I bit the bullet already and ordered three red supflux 25 led dome boards. Did a little more readying on them and they send you a kit. So you dont have to splice into the wires it comes with a dummy bulb with a connector. should be pretty slick. Ill get good night before and after pics to compare if I remember at the time of install. pics to come for sure.

 

[Zachohs]

ok, cool very nice
Thanks
