Husky Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 was wondering what the general consensus on interior lighting colours is? considering the options are potentially limitless what do people think is a good colour for the interior. blue seems to be a popular choice, i just thought i'd ask you guys.

rtbiscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 if i was doing my dash etc i'd go audi style Red. Quote
Wookiee22 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Can you get variable colour leds? Perhaps rig it so the dash changes from blue to red as the revs increase! Quote

DontPanic Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Not for me but Nurrish might be interested He seems to be partial to pink lately Quote

Husky Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Blue like VW Golf I WANT oh s**t, dont put red speedo into google Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 wifes got a golf, not a fan of the blue, i find it to distracting and not very manly not the best explaination can't really explain it but for me it makes the interior feel more like a family wagon and less like a fighter jet i'll go and hide now Quote

Perhaps rig it so the dash changes from blue to red as the revs increase! yes you can already looked into that and its quite tricky, i want to do it but its going to be fiddly. I could imagine it would be a bit of a nightmare, requiring potentiometers and the like, not to mention how you'd get the rpm feed without some complex wiring. Still, it WOULD be a challenge... Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 This looks interesting UV LEDs makes a nice deep purple (hard to see in the photo) and makes white objects pop with a glow. The UV LEDs are about 3x the cost of others so 7 for $12 is a bargain. These UV LEDs are 3mm in size instead of 5mm like the others, but they are the brightest UVs I have found yet. They connect just like the other LEDs. Quote
Husky Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 i thought about that but then the inside of your car would look like a night club! Quote
Vik54 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 oh s**t, dont put red speedo into google Oh Yaaaas Quote
Husky Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 slow change LEDs then ?? you want which led's to slow change, yes its possible elsewhere but not on the dash without far too much work. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 oh s**t, dont put red speedo into google Oh Yaaaas Budgie smuglers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 if you had UV dash lights all people would see at night time is your teeth when you smile at them, would be like the chesire cat; crossed with ross in the friends episode when he over whitens his teeth Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 you want which led's to slow change, yes its possible elsewhere but not on the dash without far too much work. No not in dash ... I was thinking puddle lights/footwell/cabin Quote
