OK, first I'm no real car guy. I've come up with a couple ideas and have very little idea on how to proceed. So I'll share the ideas and hopefully anyone that does them will be nice enough to provide step by step instructions/part numbers/etc for a newbie...
The first idea is very basic. All the dash and console stuff is in red... Except the high beam indicator (which is fine) and the dumb orange LEDs for the environmental controls. What would it take to make them red too?
Second, I saw somewhere here that someone did footwell lighting that worked with the dome lights. They came on, dimmed, turned off, etc with the dome and map lights on entry/unlocking. Well, I wanna do that, but instead of foot well lighting I was thinking about the reflectors on the door. One of the guys at work said he had a Pontiac that had a split light there... One half was a red light pointing back (basically what the reflector we have does) and the other half was white light that illuminated the ground/door sill area for entry. Something like that sounds cool to me.
I have a co-worker with a Taurus that has exterior entry lighting and it's the only thing I wish I had from his car on mine. His is under his reaerview mirrors, that seems like a lot of work to set up, but the general idea appeals to me.
The wiring part is what gets me. The thread that I'm having a hard time finding right now was answered by naming a couple colors wires... I'm not bright enough to figure that out so I'd need some really basic instructions.
