My biggest annoyance with this car appearance wise is definitely that the interior orange lights everywhere are ugly. I was to make them all red or blue. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Got red interior lights for my red Z. Nice touch. Easy and not expensive. Also, lighted scuff plates on door entries are nice.

Thinking about doing this... But that thread is long and it looks like there are a LOT of things to replace. Oh well, one at a time.

I'm just concerned about putting up a red flag for someone buying the car, having them think I've messed with the electrics.

having the white LED's on any part of the car (i.e. license plate light, interior, etc.) gives the car an expensive look. but when people start putting blue/red/green/etc. LEDs on any part of the car, IMO it screams "RICER" and reminds me of the late 90's when underbody neon lights was the trend.

yes, this is with any mod for that matter.

and if you're that concerned about it, swap it back to stock prior to selling.

I think he's talking about all the interior lights such as dash and gauges. One person has done it on the forums and he has a detailed DIY and it is LONG AS F***. That's one of those conversions where you do it in stages over a month on the weekends or something. And when you do something like that the motivation to reverse it simply isn't there.

Ah, I stand corrected. I thought it was weird when the OP said it would take a month to replace what I thought would be the dome lights.
