I don't have any pics, but I have red LED replacement bulbs under the foot well in my Monte (brightest I could get with the widest range). In the map lights on the mirror, white or natural (I sadly don't recall which), the smallest range (to avoid drowning out the red glow on the floor) and the dome light is white/natural (matching the map lights with the brightest range.
The effect makes it look like the floor only is red instead of the entire inside. All LEDs bought from SuperBrightLED.com (and took a few tries to get it right). Future plan is to add a super bright LED in the cubby for the door handle.

I have red LEDs in the foot wells, the cavity under the radio, door lock and window buttons and door map pockets. Sorry too cold outside to snap a pic

Not a huge fan of LED's all over the place, but I have replaced all of my interior lights with bright white LEDs just to allow for more light.

Reverse lights are LED as well.

This is a sick thread. I can't wait to see more because I'm eager to swap my interior to red as well.

Im glad this thread was made, I wanted to create ambient lighting in mine sometimes. Couple questions.

Anyone use LEDS from autozone or any auto parts store? Or Online?

How do you hook up multiple ones? I know using the toggle switch is nice but, I dont wanna carve into my car, any suggestions?

And do you need a special harness like with HID lights? I assume the answer to this would be no...lol

I think thats all, thanks guys for anyone who answers

For the ones built in just replace the bulbs with LED's. (I suggest IJDMtoy) Iv found a 20pc LED lighting kit for under $150. (Xkglow) but for interior just get some strips and a control box. Single color is cheaper than multi. I'm working on wiring my car for My LED togles, if you want I can show you some ideas for building a control box inside of your center console compartment so you don't have to carve anything. (I'm going to drill holes in the center console and mount them there but that is minor "carving")
Also, I suggest Electro luminescent wire. El wire pros is the best/cheapest (they are the Pioneers who did the tron movie!) Ill post pics when all my work is done (well ill never be done with lights but ill have mile stones)
