Default My New Red LED Interior Lights

Hey everyone,

I've just recently installed some Red LED Interior Lights in my stang and I figured I'd share with you. This was a cheap and easy modification: $25.00 shipped and 5 minutes to install (literally). It really completely transforms the look and feel of your interior and I'm completely satisfied with this mod. Here's a link to an Ebay Auction that I got them from, in case you're wondering: Ebay Auction.

I originally got the idea from a guy on the BAD Mustangs Club Forum. Below is his results picture. He must be better at holding the camera still than I am because I completely blurred every photo, lol.

BAD Mustangs Results

Next up are my results. Sorry they're a bit blurry!

My Results (Via my CarDomain)

Let me know what you think and feel free to share about your experience with lights like these! If you would like to see my car in it's entirety, feel free to visit my CarDomain by clicking this link or selecting my Home Page link!

Thanks,
Gotadime

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that those specific lights wouldn't fit your car, but if you purchased the right kind, they'd look awesome! Especially if you really have a well-themed interior.

Haha, yeah they're bright. They're not overpowering in any way though. I honestly could very comfortably drive with them on. If you had white lights this bright, it'd be a different story. But red is a lot easier to handle. In fact, it's quite enjoyable and adds a whole lot to the driving experience.

LED are the way to go. Blue bulbs are just not as bright as clustered LED bulbs. I bought Blue LED's for my mountaineer, i needed 9 different bulbs (it was a big truck....) but i had bulbs ranging from 4-7 LED's in the cluster and the car looked amazing from the inside and it set the mood as soon as you opened the door. Something has stopped me from touching the mustang's bulbs however. I kinda like the stock shade of light.

Thumbs up

Well, they're in! I PM'd gotadime because I wasn't sure how to get the light covers off... and he told me to use a screwdriver...

My husband used one of those tiny flat head eyeglass screwdrivers to pry off the plastic lens and then because his fingers were too big, he used tweezers to pull out the lights...

The LEDs were a very cool idea... cheap, easy mod - we love them!
