Husky Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 was wondering what the general consensus on interior lighting colours is? considering the options are potentially limitless what do people think is a good colour for the interior. blue seems to be a popular choice, i just thought i'd ask you guys.

Wookiee22 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Can you get variable colour leds? Perhaps rig it so the dash changes from blue to red as the revs increase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 wifes got a golf, not a fan of the blue, i find it to distracting and not very manly not the best explaination can't really explain it but for me it makes the interior feel more like a family wagon and less like a fighter jet i'll go and hide now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine it would be a bit of a nightmare, requiring potentiometers and the like, not to mention how you'd get the rpm feed without some complex wiring. Still, it WOULD be a challenge...

ATTAK Z Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This looks interesting UV LEDs makes a nice deep purple (hard to see in the photo) and makes white objects pop with a glow. The UV LEDs are about 3x the cost of others so 7 for $12 is a bargain. These UV LEDs are 3mm in size instead of 5mm like the others, but they are the brightest UVs I have found yet. They connect just like the other LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 if you had UV dash lights all people would see at night time is your teeth when you smile at them, would be like the chesire cat; crossed with ross in the friends episode when he over whitens his teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
