That's one of my buddies. I'll get ahold of him and see if he can't post where he got his stuff.

Just talked to my buddy. He said he got his stuff from a place that rents spotlights and sound equipment and stuff like that for parties. I told him to give this thread a look when he gets off work.

Just be aware this may earn you a ticket depending on where you are. In a lot of places, certain color lights can't be visible from the front except on emergency vehicles and such.

They are talking about the interior lights to make reading a map and stuff easier at night.

If you go to a specialty bulb place like www.topbulb.com you can get red bulbs to go in the interior lights. Red is common but you can get blue, green, and LEDs in all sorts of colors even UV blacklight (although if you've been a lucky boy you may not want CSI New Girlfriend able to see the body fluids that the last several left )

Haha yea i think i might have to saty away from the black lights. My freinds give me enough crap bout that kind stuff allready. I got dark blue gels so i can match my dash to my gauges and satelite radio screen.
