Yeah I bought the butyl from that ebay link. Also randomly bought a DIY interior red LED kit for the overhead light, trunk light and license plate light.

Red LEDs for all 3? ohhh man. Dude give that about a week, you're gonna have serious migraines.. lol

When do you ever use the interior lights except when the doors are open or at shows? I'm gonna keep the originals just in case though.

Yeah the interior lights you'll only see when you open the doors at night. The other two spots you will rarely even see.

My cousin's old RX8 used to have red interior lights. It looked pretty nice.

Yeah I mean, it'll be for shows.

I wanna see what it looks like at night... it should be pretty cool.

dmhenderson · 09-04-2012, 11:47 PM

Yeah that's the idea. Car is red/black and nothing else.

I started the install of my illuminated kick plates, I should get the actual plates tomorrow. I removed the old plates today and pulled out the harness from the passenger side.

Use a coat hanger and some duct tape to fish the wire through underneath the console. Untwist the coat hanger, and stick the wire onto the end of it with the tape and gently work it through to the other side. That's about as hard as it gets. I had a helper but I was done in less than an hour.

Oh and make sure you tamp down the cables either with super sticky tape or small brackets so that they dont float around.
