Well, you could get the Oznium dome light (flexible or rigid are offered)...http://www.oznium.com/rigid-5mm-led-dome

It really helps...so much better than stock, and it comes with adapters so you don't have to wire anything!The camera couldn't pickup on all the light,but it shows how bright it is against the ceiling...http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...s/100_5687.jpg

And you could put LEDs in your vents and down by your feet...http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...z/CX/LEDs1.jpg

And if you're really bored like I was, you can put a bunch of LEDs in your grill...http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...s/100_5679.jpg


Pretty much all I've been doing all winter is little things that won't get hurt by the snow and ice...hope it gives you a few more ideas.

no you dont have to strip the dash... just take out the vent cover and either drill a small hole thru the plastic to run the wires or just poke the led into BUT personaly i would just stick some leds into the vents and just route the wires out the opening and IMO aiming the leds to th eback of the vent looks beter because you dont get that LED spot light in your eyes!
also for the vents i would sugest using prewired SUPERFLUX LEDS! they spread the light out wide and bright!!!!!
ive thought about doing it in my car but just not sure yet.... ive got pleanty of white ones laying around but i would want to use green as well inside my 94civic... just get a hot glue gun and experiment with the aiming of the leds. the hot glue will pop right off if ya pull abit and just use a razor blade to make a slit on it and just peel it right off and retry it a different angle.

those lights in the grill are sick!!! Where are you guys getting these LEDs at? I'm in Twin falls Idaho, and I haven't seen them at any of our auto stores!

Try http://www.oznium.com/. They aren't too bad, and their LED strips are really good for exterior as they're protected with that flexible coating. You can get those "Superflux" LED's on Oznium as well. Also, I adjusted the LEDs after that picture, and if you take the wire and slide it all the way around the corner of the vent with the LED pointed out towards the bend in the venting, it seems to look the best...that way you get the light, and you don't see the LED at ALL!!!

The ones I put in thebumperconsisted oftwo strips superglued down in the gap between the radiator and the frame (pointed up and towards the radiator), and a single strip ziptied to the portion directly under and on the back side of the "H" emblem on the bumper. There's a little ledge behind there that I drilled a couple of holes for zipties and aimed the LED strip pointed straight back.

well another way to spread the light out from the leds is to sand the leds face.... and if you have a few spare leds experiment around with sanding different shapes into the plastic part.... just dont sand it down into the metal parts...... if ya go that deep youve gone to far...
