Best LED kits (strips? tubes?) to install colored ambient lighting
Should I get some interior LED light strips?
If you like them that is all that matters! When I got my Fiesta ST it had the led strips you could change the colors on and I thought it was awesome for a day or two then I just left them off - that would be the only downside but that was just me.
More on reddit.comLooking to install Interior LED glow strips in my car. Any ideas on how to allow them to turn on when someone opens a door? Plus a bonus question.
I want to buy interior LED lights to install in my car, help?
As someone who loves driving more than anything and has driven a wide selection of cars I can honestly say the PT Cruiser is in my top three most fun cars I've driven. I don't say fastest, or best. Just the most fun.
People always give me crap for it but I loved my Cruiser. The only thing comparable that I've had more fun in is my MK4 GTI.
Anyways, the LED lights should work fine. I also found a nice set at Autozone you might be interested in.
Also, my top three fun cars in case anyone cares.

I really want to install ambient lighting to my 2013 Acura ILX and get it to look somewhat like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/theacphotography/16033940826/in/photostream/
or at least this: http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/attachments/lighting/9169d1342659619-diy-better-interior-ambient-lighting-imageuploadedbyautoguide1342659615.906906.jpg
Most of the kits I've been finding come with 4 strips, which would work great if I only wanted to illuminate the footwells or the underseat area. But I also want to put lighting in more visible areas like under the hood of the dashboard, in the cupholders, and maybe some on the doors, but I don't know how to do that without having there be an ugly visible LED strip.
I'm totally confused as to what kind of products I should get for this type of setup and I'm not even sure if it's possible unless it's factory made. Whatever I get, I plan on installing it myself to get the positioning right, and then taking it to a mechanic so that the wiring won't be visible.
If anybody can help me with out with what kind of kits/products I should buy, I would really appreciate it. I'm looking for pink lighting primarily, but would prefer to be able to change the color. Also, I don't care if the lights flash or pulse along with music, but it would be a bonus if that setting was available.
Thanks in advance!
