I got the super bright blue LED interior lights from RotaryFX today. I would recommend this company to anyone (even though they already are on the forum) and I plan on using them in the future. the lights were easy to install and look great and got here in 3 days after ordering them. i'll upload pictures once it gets dark out for anyone who's interested.

Pics or it didn't happen! jk. I got read lights from rotoryrasp for the footwell, then swapped all the interiors with red led. Looks much better than stock to me.

Try not taking pics directly of the lights, why dont you stand back a couple of feet with the door ajar

i tried but my droid wont bring out any reflecting light from the interior and it just looks like some dots in a black void. i'll see if i can figure it out

I just received my red door, footwell, dome, and map lights from rotary! Do you have a link to a DIY or anything like that to help me? I've never worked with wires and am afraid to start splicing X_X

Why would you need to slice wires? Also, Aipex is probbly one of the best solutions for any lighting needs.

no splicing needed. the covers just pop off and you swap out the standard bulbs for the leds. the leds will only turn on when put in the correct way, so make sure you're checking that they're glowing before snapping the covers back on

I just need to tap into some current wires under the dash. They are meant to turn on and off like the stock lights (unlock or door open). I'm going to attempt to put a switch in too though

There's a couple of the same looking wires. Be careful

Yea I could see that. As of right now my cluster gauge is not working. I'm really hoping I just blew a fuse...

That shouldn't be hard to check.

Not at all, just waiting for my tester. If not a fuse... i see a large bill in my future

Did you cut any wires? And forget to reattach them?

Brettly2005

I didnt cut any, just hacked into them with a wire tap or two. My car just died while i was on the freeway. I was able to bump start it back up in time before anything serious, but now im scared. taking it to mazda on monday. ugh

Good luck! That's really shitty that that happened to you. I blew a fuse installing my turn signal LEDs up on the headlights :-o so I know your pain-ish.

Yea it's no fun for sure. Hopefully I don't have to dip too deep into the pockets.
