I'm doing all my lights the same color at the same time: guages, HVAC, power doors, power windows, led strips under my dash lighting up with my dash lights. I have all my dome lights white because It makes it easier to find crap in my back seat lol.

These are cool white LED but they have a blueish tint, But I think I'm gona switch to another color if I get a head unit.

I took out my DRL light bulb and put it into the shift up light, and was hoping that it would make the light work in my automatic trans but that idea didnt work.
