I hope you don’t get too many potential punters queuing up with all those reds lights! ;)

Different?
What is like when using it to read at night? Or do you leave them on for day to day driving? I know this all comes down to personal choice, but red has always been a colour to warn others.

Lights under the mirror still white, as are vanity lights and glove box and boot,
not changing them to red. Only changed the 2 footwell lights, 2 lights in the front roof light and 1 in
the back roof light.

Ok, are you ready!
20181112_172006.jpg 20181112_171745.jpg 20181112_171758.jpg Turned out really well, they look great. Bright when you unlock the car and open the door, but when you start the car the footwell lights dim to a nice ambient red, and when I fitted the white led lights last week they flashed about 4 times before staying on, these don't so that's a nice bonus. :)

Got a bit of a Halloween glow about them.
I’m considering changing the light in my fridge, the red would work well when I come down for a midnight snack, it wouldn’t wake the cat up ! :)

You need this on the stereo when you are (ahem) cruising round late at night :D
