Need ideas on interior lighting for my car

I'm new to this so all please bear with me. I working on ideas of what I can add in ways of extra lighting to the insside of my 07 cobalt ss. I had a sit down at what a group of us here in new england call a round table of future mods for my car. We design an idea of leds and neon inside the car to light it up but not over do it. Now problems is that a friend of my also wanted to do so lighting inside his dodge srt 10 pickup and he took every ides we design and put it into his truck. So shoot ideas my way of anything and everything one and all may have come to mind. My mind is spent and **** off at same time.

how about like the newer luxury cars do.
have an led shine down onto the shifter. like the new cts
some soft lights come out from under the seats, like the mkz ?
and some lights that shine over to the door handles so people can find them easily in the dark

This is what I got in my car:

Light up cupholders
Footwell Neon's
Door pocket LED strip
Under the door LED's that light up the ground when you open the door
Blue gauges
Backseat LED's that light up the back seat (Not in picture)

Things you could do to yours:
Put Light's in the center console or glove box.
You could put them in the door handles so you know where to pull when it's dark.
umm... that's all my ideas for now :P good luck!



More pictures here of my car.

It's not all that hard, all you need to do is wire them to the little push buttons on the doors. Those switches are grounds, so all you need is a positive, but for that i used fusetap on the interior lights fuse. I used these but they come in a lot of colors.

**** that blue neon ****. Unless you want a car straight out of the fast and the furious...

Just get LED lights for the mirror lights (or dome, depending what your car has). It'll be more than enough lights. All those neons and LED's everywhere is overkill, IMO.

Talking

I already have the LED 7 color under car kit and the wheel kit also and they already light up when I open my doors. They also flash a blue led when my alrarm is actived.I have won two night shows so far with just what I have done under the hood and the outside of the car as well. So I will take any and all ideas about inside and work up a new scheme to make it all tie in together. Keep the ideas coming.
