Good luck guys. Its fun stuff really. When I was doing everything red, it was easier tho cause i could use the stock bulbs. All you really need is some radio shack supplies like solder iron, wires, leds, resistors.

well i went for amber/red dash now instead of blue. on my sedan, i just put red taillight repair film and kept the stock bulbs. Turned out pretty good.

the blue just got to be too ricey for the direction my car is going.
