looks unprofessional and kinda tacky, but its your car. do whatever u want.

i imagine that would cause a ton of glare and make it hard to drive at night. why not just put a couple neons way down in the footwells?

I did a very similar mod to my 98. I wanted to have the same look as my TL because I like the really soft glow/ambiance. I put in 3 (but have removed one since then, so I'm down to 2) 3mm blue LEDs that I mounted in the sunroof control/dome light panel with LED clips. Mine seems to be aimed differently than yours, they illuminate the shifter area more than the radio area. I think I posted some pics in the GS subforum, and I will post some pics when I am finished redoing them (I'm planning on recessing them to eliminate the slight glare).

I don't really like the red that you used, though. It looks good in bimmers because all of the other lighting is red, but I don't think that it is a well suited color for a Lexus. It might be okay if you plan to convert all of your other lighting to red, but I think it looks a little out of place the way you have it now. You might also think about mounting them a little differently because it looks a little tacky with 2 nude LEDs hanging down from your headliner.

looks great! just dont be suprised when you get pulled over for illegal lighting equipment on a vehicle.

I had a show truck running blue lighting inside the cab. 3 tickets at $60 each later i finally installed a kill switch.

Dude- don't worry about what others think. I think it looks awesome but it would look better and more professional if you were to drill small holes into the roof console and put the LEDs up there.

just a thought.

CANT SAY I LIKE BUT IF YOU LIKE DO YA THING ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE BUT IF YOU ASK ME GO BACK TO REG LIGHTS THE REG LIGHTS LOOK MORE CLASSY

Don't worry about what others think, dude. I think you got a great idea going. I did the same thing, but I used white LEDs instead and I hid the LEDs between the maplight switch and have them angled properly towards the center console. People won't even notice it was there...





Here it is with the light on. Cabin is completely dark, by the way.



I bet when you change to the BMW orange, it will give it a very nice and soft diffused glow. The red is quite garish.

I'm late, but I thought it was very ricey.
But it's your car, so it's your call. Just as long as you're happy!

Looks like a strip club in there... Just kidding. Yo get some black lights and when you get in a parking garage switch it on... Just Kidding.

You might get pulled over by a cop if its easily visible from the front/rear of the car.
Try moving it to the black trim area right above the cupholder, underneath the radio. And hook up footwell lighting to the ignition ring light wires so they turn on when you open the door. Red doesn't really match anything...i would try amber leds which look more classy and matches with the interior color scheme.
