Default Blue to red LED interior

Didn't think the blue went well with my car so I changed everything to red to actually match my car. Oh yeah, added some Macewen gauges today also.

Macewen:








I have different bulbs coming for the HVAC and I'll get better pictures then of
everything.


Old blue:

It's funny cause the guy who makes the humount wanted to charge me another $25 for just the plastic piece that illuminates red. So I took a look at it and did myself for free:



Thanks for the comments!

Very nice Brian! It turned out great, and I really like the overlays also. Every single time you come home from school your car gets more and more bad ***, I cannot imagine what this summer will be like!
