*PICS* Blue LED parking lights and interior
So I was bored looking up smoked side markers because my girlfriend and I were talking and she mentioned the amber looks ehhh not flattering on the car (thanks, one more thing to do and spend money on as I'm currently doing an evo x turbo swap
lol) A stock evo x manifold seems to be a ***** and a half to get...anyways..
Ideally, I'd like to have a set of side markers that I can open up and change the amber to blue LED's. A few looked promising but a bit more work than I feel like dealing with for now. If anyone knows of any that I can change the bulb/led out easily, let me know!
So now that I'm done with that, I thought I might post a few pics of the current setup which I'm quite happy with =) The blacked out chrome ring helps a lot with the look at night. Those are blue LED parking lights on the outside, and blue LED's in the front interior lights and main cabin light.
Oh, and those are bright white front turn signal bulbs as well in there instead of the stock amber ones.
Let me know what you think!

I really like the way the blue came out on the interior. I've considered this myself, but since I don't have a dome light I always wonder how good the color saturation will be relying on just the map lights.
Thanks you guys. I got them really cheap off of amazon. Total for the two map lights, dome light, and front white turn signals (they're blue so the front turn signal housing looks bluer instead of amber during the day) and the blue front parking lights was $31 and some cents. And I have an extra LED because the maps/dome lights came in a 4 pack.
The blue LED's I bought almost have a black light quality to them, white shirts and things in my car get that cool glow and florescent orange tape from home depot and stuff GLOWS...I kinda dig it haha. Unexpected surprise. And the parking lights are nice and blue even during the day.
@Mr. Phoenix - On my old lancer GTS I only did the map lights (not LED's but just a blue bulb from pep boys), I don't remember if that model didn't have a dome light or I just didn't bother changing it but I loved them in there too. I'd do it
