If that's the best response you can make, none would better---real witty. I'm simply looking for a reliable lighting product from someone who has already purchased. Thanks anyway.

This is ill-advised my friend, I am in fact speaking from experience. This was my old car...



Stay away from the LED/Neons, trust me. If you do insist on going this route, streetglow makes some very high quality and affordable products. If you are real cheap, you could go Pilot, who also makes red. If you want something interesting Varad sells interesting light products. I implore you not to do this...

well first I blew my alternator, which is interesting. If you wanna look like a "high-school-daddys money-long haired-saggy pants-flat bill hat wearing-slack jaw-limp wrist-stuck up-wanna be racer-faggot boy" then I guess rock the Lights. Otherwise, leave the colored lighting in the 90's, it looks absolutely tacky, especially on a car as classy as a 370...

IMO, there's a difference between riced out Honda boy neons and tasteful ambient interior lighting. Do I want enough neons to look like a UFO on the highway? No. Are a lot of people on this forum (including myself) getting LED's in different colors to replace their stock bulbs? Absolutely, and it looks great. Cut the guy some slack.

Hey I gave the guy some great brand names to buy all the lights you could want. I am just saying it is tacky, that's MY opinion. No hate here hahaha it's his car . I want a stillen front bumper and xenon upper quarter panel window scoops (What can I say, I came from a mustang...) so I'm not immune to the tacky rice by any means . But I definately wont be lighting it up...

Curious about why the pulsating lights? I'm assuming you have a nice system in it too and will take it to the shows. It would probably be cool to see but I might end up with a headache driving with pulsating lights.

I constantly think about adding a dim matching orange LED strip under the dash in the driver and passenger footwell to provide a bit of mood lighting, but in the end I can't be bothered with the wiring at the moment. Its a cool idea though!

And please, no underglow....

Can you show us pics of the work done so far? I've seen some interior lighting that was tastefully done.

Kia Souls have pulsating speaker lights if I remember correctly, but I think this is going too far.
