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.

Can you get variable colour leds?

 

Perhaps rig it so the dash changes from blue to red as the revs increase! :teeth:

yes you can :)

 

already looked into that and its quite tricky, i want to do it but its going to be fiddly.

if i was doing my dash etc i'd go audi style Red.

Seat did it first did they not ..... same company I know but ...

 

never been in a seat only seen it in an audi,

 

so couldn't pinpoint the red light history :lol:

wifes got a golf, not a fan of the blue, i find it to distracting and not very manly :shrug: 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 :blush:

 

i'll go and hide now :blush:

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... ;)

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.

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 :lol:

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

do-able but at a cost as a controller is needed as well :thumbs:
