Blue LED project finished? You be the judge!
I've had my 97SE Maxima now for 2 months, thx to you guys I've become addicted to modding, especially in the blue led area. 47 leds, $100, and countless hours discovering how and where to put blue leds I believe I have finally finished. Keep in mind this is only interior lighting. I've done all the common led swaps and I am fairly certain I have done a few never done before. e.g. Homelink visor Let me know what you guys think. After all this work I could use some reassurement that this obsession was worthwhile. If you can think of a place that a blue led would look good that I missed, please feel free to share. Here is a link to my site:

BBaker025: Thx 
, You got a long drive ahead of you if you want my help!
tifosiv122: Thx
GLE02NJ: I would love to do the valve stems, neon, windshield nozzles, BUTT, here in FL they are illegal and as a member of a local law enforcement agency it wouldn't be a good thing.

Sean do you think you could do a write up on how to do all of the led's i'm sure it would even make it into the FAQ'S a lot of people want to know how to do this (including myself) Or just a write up on were all of the lights would be. THanks Brian, Oh yeah that is one of the best jobs on LED's i have ever seen it looks great.

s2cmpugh & BC_95GLE: Thx, I'll see if I can do a write up this weekend on anything not already covered. You have to be very brave/stupid to try to do the homelink, geez it is tight! I just couldn't bare the thought of not doing the homelink and someone saying I missed it!
SuDZ: Thx, and I feel the same way, why am I so obsessed with blue, I dunno, here is a hint, got two wedding rings, one is titanium blue.
Myrv: That's a great idea, I had considered covering them but I had no idea what would work. Do you know of any companies off hand?

On a side note, what size tires are you running? Those would be the biggest 215/55-16 I've ever seen if that's what they are...
