Yeah that would drive me fricken nuts, that's bright. I'm happy I did mine the way I did cuz it's not super bright where it gets annoying or causes a distraction but they're still plenty bright where I have no problems reading my gauges, HVAC controls, or gear selector

jeez, I always find myself turning the dash lights down halfway in night driving because they bug me during night driving.

I think it would get annoying after a while. To bad you can't hook the LEds up to a dimmer or something.

Actually I bet you could hook it up to the dimmer. Just find what wires you need to splice into. My digital dash is too bright, but hey I've never seen anyone put a neon there. Kinda cool.

check the nut on the rack and see if it's wet down there. That's where they like to leak.

That's why there toggled w/ the neons under the dash. If i get annoyed i can just flip the switch and there off

I picked up a couple green led strips off the net for $7 that I'm gonna add to my interior as well. Not up under the dash though cuz I don't wanna see my pedals and crap lit up so I'm gonna try to put em somewhere different. I'm thinkin one under each front seat if they still put off enough light, who knows. Any good ideas? All I know is they are not gonna be directly in my sight, especially not by my gauges lol

That'd be what I got... I had no problem getting these ones cuz the ones I used for the 4th brake light I picked up at Autozone for like $25 and they're basically the same thing, if not the exact same thing
