Lighting Help!

I'm finally getting my 8 back from the shop and i want to do some interior lighting such as the dome, maps, and foot well lighting. I'm stuck on what color i should do.....I have black and chaparral leather and I was thinking of blue or orange, if you guys could give me some ideas and tips, I would really appreciate it

go with RED footwell lighting, you won't regret it ;-)

custom L.E.D. footwell lights: https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/custom-led-footwell-lights-118507/

RotaryRasp custom makes these L.E.D. footwell lights, and they're awesome, especially for the price! He's a genius with lighting, so I'd def. refer to him for your lighting needs!

yep, I got red all over the car. Including Rasp's footwell lights (which are awesome!)

My car's officially the red light district...

Superbrightleds.com is where I buy all of mine. My biggest suggestion is too use the inverted bulbs on the clear corners and driving lights or else those bulbs will burn out and start blinking.

Other than that, I used the 9-bulb LED for the doors, a 5-bulb ones that point everywhere for the map lights, and the back light on the roof is a 32mm from what I remember

Also, why are you posting in the exterior section about the interior of your car?

yea red does seem like a good idea, i just wanted something to kind of compliment it as well as match the blue in the dash........and keef to answer your question im posting in the exterior section because it seems that lighting kind of drifted in here, like the bulb codes are in this section so i figured i wouild talk about it as well :-).....and thanx for all the help
