Thanks and a pic would be awesome.

 

That headunit looks hella good at night time. Good choice alpine is one of the best headunit companys out there.

 

I'd go with the Alpine ida x001

You can switch between Red or Blue lights, change screen or download you're own from the website!

No cd though, but mp3 FTW!!

I have this apline installed on my SSL evo, let me know if you have questions, if you order from crutchfield you wont need any adapters (it will come with). Also, if you want pictures let me know I'd be glad to post some.

 

How did you change all the lighting? Was it difficult? Where did you get the lights? How long did it take you? Do you have any pics?

 

I assume your talking about changing the dash lighting not the lighting to the deck. The deck colors are switchable through the options screen. As for the dash lighting I just did my research on this forum. There are a couple of different write ups which were very helpful. I used parts of probably 4 different write ups and also used some of my own ingenuity to complete the task. I worked on my dash in stages starting with the hvac controls first. I used bulb condoms which i purchased at pepboys. Some paint the bulbs and some buy the bulbs already red. Im sure they both work fine, however if you would like your climate controls to not be completly red I would recommend using the bulb condoms. That was the only tricky part of the modification as the condom needs to cover only part of the bulb so the other half will stay blue. An extra set of hands is always helpful. For the clock I ordered a "red filter" from Z_Lancer_Man Overall everything came together fairly easy. Like I said there is a ton of info here on this forum. I think i searched red hvac or something like that. If you have a specific question about something I would be more than happy to help you. Its a great mod as its cheap and you will be happy with the end result. I will snap some photos tomorrow for you.

 

I would appreciate it! And yes i was talking about the dash lighting and not the deck.

 

Im kinda an idiot and i cant figure out how to post the pics. I just took them so if anyone is interested in seeing them feel free to pm me and i will email them to you, or you could teach me how to upload the images. It says that they need to be 100kb Im not sure how to size them down?!?

 

Just upload them to photobucket and then c/c/p link and you are all set.IF I can do it just about anyone over the age 3 can

I ended up purchasing the Alpine 9885 from crutchfield.com. I couldn't pass up the price.

$249.99/shipped which includes free adapter (plug&play), free i-pod adapter and free shipping plus $50 pricecute.

I'll post up some pics when it gets here in the next few days.

Appreciate all your guys help.

Here are some pics of my interior

looks good!! thanks. where did you get the red coloring for the rest of the interior?

 

My gauges are actually not factory. I bought the car with them already installed like that. They are VDO and I actually see an ad for them sometimes at the top of this forum if your interested. They came red. The HVAC controls and cig lighter i used bulb covers like i stated earlier. Lastly for the clock i used the red filter from Z_Lancer_Man.
