Painted Center Console...A mod I forgot to add to the list above Looks kinda gay during the day with the grey climate controls, but it's worth it the way it looks at night IMO.

Oh, and I borrowed my friends digital camera, and have to give it back in a few hours, so if anyone would like a picture taken of something else that they are curious about, just ask, but only until around 8 p.m. central time.

Thanks.
And if anyone is wondering what I used to light the climate controls, all I did was go to Autozone, and pick up a pair of red wedge bulbs, and attached them to wires, which I then spliced into the cigarette lighter.
Works great. Nice and bright.
I tried to do the same with LED's, but LEDs don't have a wide angle of viewing, meaning that light doesn't difuse from all sides like it does with a conventional bulb.

I tried to do the same with LED's, but LEDs don't have a wide angle of viewing, meaning that light doesn't difuse from all sides like it does with a conventional bulb. really Yeah, really. I don't know why you have to be mean about it, I was just stating something that I tried before. And if you notice in your picture, the light hasn't made it's way down to the AC and Rear Defrost buttons, nor the turn knobs very well. Light will not be emitted from the side of the bulbs if you have them pointed up. Even the widest of LED lenses will only emit 45 degrees of light from the tip of the dome. I tried 12 LED's similiar to the kind that you used, and and positioned them every which way in order to get everything lit up. It was patchy at best. I found that with a bulb, light will even go to the rear defrost and ac button like it did with the shitty stock green lights. After aligning and positioning all of the LED's I had in there, I found that they would just get repositioned if I had laid a wire in the path of a turning aparatus or that slide that controls the inside/outside air. See in the picture below? And I figured out why the middle knob on my setup isn't lighting up very well. It was the same knob that I got with the heater assembly from a junk yard, and I was forced to use it due to the fact that I lost my stock/clean knob. BTW, we are all on the same side here, no need to bash me.

Im sorry that you feel there is bashing going on here - because there is not... and it was not my intention to bash. as for your comment about the light not making it down to the AC and defrost button - the light actualy makes it down there and its pretty bright! Read my above statement about my dash being painted and how my camera sucks. my camera is a 0.8 mega pixle kodak that had been discontinued from 2001 - and it sucks in night shots and in close-ups... it sucks really bad at night-close-up shots the paint used on my dash is a DARK candy-apple red... aprox 5 coats

mark The bulbs I used were small "wedge bulbs" that I bought at Autozone. I bought a blue pair, but it turned out that they actually emitted white light. So if you find some illegal blue wedge bulbs, those will give off blue light, but the ricer section at the Autozone I went to sucked. I'll find a pic of the type that I used.

These are an example of wedge bulbs.
I used some cheapo brand that cost like $1.50 a pair.
On the base of the bulb, there are tiny metal prongs that you need to gently pry down so that they aren't up against the base anymore.
Then, just connect a wire to each prong (I soldered it to it, but you can just tape it). One wire will be positive (12v power) and the other one will be negative (ground).
