My truck has 2 map lights (driver and passenger) and a dome light in the rear. Since the only passengers I have in my truck are my wife and my dog, I'm not too worried about keeping the rear white. Plus I think it might look a little odd when they all light up when I open the doors if the front of the cab has red light and rear is white.
Oh, I see. On my truck, my front map lights don't come on with the rear dome.

Can't wait to see the pics!!!

Got the interior LEDs installed, hard to really tell what it will look like until it gets dark out. They seem to be plenty bright enough though!

Here are pics of the red interior LEDs, and a pic of the stock cargo lights. I'll swap the cargo lights out this afternoon and get more pics tonight.

I would have liked a darker location, but the entire neighborhood is all lit up with street lights.

^ Don't really know, didn't drive it last night. I'll take it out tonight and see, but it was pretty easy on my eyes in the parking lot.

Yeah i think it would get to me after awhile or my passengers. But i want to do the Tails, License plate, and 3rd brake light eventually. Im not sure what i wanna do with the front. Prob just throw some of those silverstar or whatever bulbs up front to make it look somewhat alike lol.
