i like it, looks great!!

i've been debating on doing some white leds hooked to the dome lights. i have my explorer decked out in cathodes and leds i dont need that in my daily drivers though. so white leds would def help on dark nights though.

Guys, if you want LED lighting, let me know. You can get a bag of 100 blue LEDs for around $7 delivered to your house along with the appropriate resistors and then it is a matter of doing a little bit of soldering to make it all work. I have been doing some mods to my Jag using some 285K MCD 10MM bulbs to replace 194 bulbs. The LED bulbs are just as bright as a 194 bulb, but put out a bright white light (7000K white). But the same can be done inside the truck using whatever color you want and 5mm LEDs.

You want to be really fancy, then you can get what are called 5050 SMD LEDs. While these require a little more work (and more cost), you can have a setup that you change the color whenever you want to whatever you want (your only limitation is your imagination). I'm looking to add these to the wife's Fusion in the way of floor lighting and then have a remote control to let her change the color based on her mood.
