I am looking into gettin some interior lights.  What would produce a better light going with LED's or a NEON light?  I had both in my old car and I liked the effect that it put off.

Neons for light output... LEDs for power consumption... but I would suggest staying away from "Steal me" lights...

So then i should use LEDs to replace like the turn singnal lights and break lights?  I would hook the interior lights up to a switch to turn on and off as I wanted.  My old car had them connected to the dome light.

Hey if I spliced out the interior light in my trunk, the tinyass little light there, and wired up an LED bar to it, would I have any problems? The tiny light is being blocked my my sub bix, and I need something to allow me to see. I think a 20" LED bar might do the trick

What are you trying to built a A DISCO inside your car.

I suggest neither because they look stupid.

Heheh yea they kinda do but I figure if I can rig it to turn on when I open my trunk, then when Im doin somethin at night I can see what Im doin. The stock light dont do anything for me and expecially now bein blocked by my sub enclosure. Its not like I have it in my cabin.

Survey says.... Get ultra white bulbs or equivical for your car... not put multi colored lights in ones drivers compartment.

Oh they wouldnt be mulit colored only the color of the car.  I have a list of lil things to do first.
 
I talked to the service dept. I love the way they told me that nothing I change on the car will void the warrenty unles a problem arise from what i changed.

So it wont void the warranty unless something happens, lol.
Changing the 194 bulbs to LEDs wont void ur warranty.

Not a chance on lighting up my cabin like a christmas tree, I hate it when people do that, how can it not be distracting? And I did look for a white led bar (like i said, even replacing the bulb dont help if the lights blocked) and they were gone. Clearence, only a couple bucks for 20" tubes. So I went with blue, since Im doin a black and blue theme for my car.

I had no question that it would. Just thought it was funny that as long as nothing breaks form a mod then the warranty is fine.
