Blue Hue...
Didn't want to hijack famouslex's thread, so I thought I would post some pics of my interior lights here. I am not sure if I am 100% sold on the blue ALL of the time, but it does look pretty cool and I'll live with it for now.
Here are the bulbs I used:
3 168/194 blue refractors for front dome
2 festoon 6-LED blue bulbs for rear dome (super tight fit, but they DO fit and SUPER bright)
2 168/194 blue flank bulbs for front doors (look great with the door sills)
2 168/194 white refractors for the vanity lights
Got them from VLEDS
Front shot of the outside of the car:
Inside front passenger:
Backseat from the right inside:
Inside right from the back looking front:
Front dome (they look more aqua in this pic, but they are bluer in person. The refractors fill out the dome housing a lot better):
Front vanity in white:
Rear dome with 2 6-LED festoons (super bright!!!!):
I am pondering the thought of changing the blues to a white...

It is a very very blue, and it does look cool.
It's a bit too much for me, but if you like the look, that's fine.
Perhaps you can do one-blue-one-white for the dome and rear passenger lights. It will make it more subtle, but you'll still get your blue mood lighting...

Exactly -- form over function. In the fovea, the part of the eye that sees detail and is responsible for our central (not peripheral) vision, 64% of the cones are red sensitive, 32% are green sensitive, and 2% are blue sensitive.
