I rarely have actually used the lights but like you said I won't notice if I need them or not until after I've done it..

Theyre light bulbs, like $1 a piece. Go get a few of them, put them in. If you dont like them take the 5 minutes to put the stock ones back in.

just noticed this conver. between you two. First I wanna say, etiemme, you got a killer dash, and the double gauge pod piller just adds to it, VERY COOL with the lights also! And second, if you guys are looking for really cheap, decent quality LED's, ebay has some really good ones, they're the ones with multi-diode lighting and they light up like a dam christmas tree, seriously. I got a couple pics of how bright they are in my profile if you wanna look. Best ones Ive ever seen. I got a 15 diode LED in my dome and 4diode LED's in the rest of the car (floor, mirror, and license plate light)
Just thought you might like to know this?? Sorry if you dont.
And again, love the custom work you guys do.
Not trying to be rude, or one up you, but (and just giving an example of how bright the ones on ebay are) the ones you got on the floor dont come close on comparison.
I got a question, did you have to dissasemble your dash to install those led's in your ducts??

yes. but i had to fix my vents anyway. the previous owner had busted out almost all the directional fins. so i was putting on the metal to make it not look so crappy, figured why noit ad lights too while im at it lol.

and for lighting.. i got some led flex strips for my gf's truck, purple-uv, that light up amazing.. not sure what type they are but i got them from here .

I use oznium, but the thing is, I do not want horribly bright lights. I cant even stand driving with my cupholder ones on.
