Run of the mill mods

Did a couple interior mods-with more on the way.

As for the climate control lights, they aren't nearly as blue as I would have liked. More light blue. They are incadescent exact replacements for the OEM bulb. They just aren't a true blue and don't match the other color of blue in my car. But, at least I have light for the right most top 3 buttons, that has been out for over a year.







And the standard chrome rings. I like it.

Looks good for replacement bulbs. What brand did you use? I was wanting to go with red but haven't had the time/skill to switch them all to led's.

I got them from autolumination. They are just the replacement twist lock bulbs.
Red might look better, I was wondering that.

I replaced the light that shines from underneath the climate control onto the lower center dash/shift plate with a blue LED.
The map lights are located on the ceiling. In there I have Polargs.
Acura, ie TL, has blue LEDs located near the map light location that do shine down on the shifter area.
