okie dokie, i wonder if this is the right section, here i go

since the dash lights and gauge lights of 03+ civics are red, and im thinkin about puttin some neons inside the car like under the seats, side of doors, under AC controls, etc, would blue contrast too much and clash with the red colors of the stock dash and gauges? imthinkin about an amber/orange color, but not red since its kinda too harsh on the eyes and dark. what do you guys think?

i wouldnt put any neons in or on my car, but if i did i would say red since as you noted, the gauge and dash lights are red

ohh hell no don't mix the blue with the red , thats too big of a contrast between them , just stick to a orange or red color , unless you like a blue color then you would have to change the whole dash and gauge colors to bluish too to match ,

Yeah, try and keep the colors similar. Red at night won't be a distraction. It will probably be darker than blue under the seats.

Just get some reverse-glo gauges or replace the red bulbs if you want blue neons.

I agree with 01WingsWest. Even though I think neons looks pretty lame nowadays, if you were to do it, red would be the color of choice

I don't get why everyone is so against neons.. what is so bad about them?

nothin really... People just get carried away sometimes.

DIY your dash blue, and get blue neons... Thats what i did

Im going to be changing my blue dash to white L.E.Ds Soon... I think it will look a lot cooler wit my CF Dash

yah just try to keep it the same colour as your dash lights, otherwise the colours would clash and it wouldnt look as good.

I think red would be the best color unless you changed your dash to blue lights. Also, in regards to all the places you want to put them, try to make them hidden as best as you can. I think it looks cool when you can only see the glow - not the source. It looks cheap when you have the entire bulb exposed.

hey guys, this seems like a good topic to put this so i ask you this, i have a 99' ex coupe and i was looking to put a little flair on the inside of it, something different, differnet color gauge lights would be cool, but what else could i put on it to be cool lookin? NOTHING RICE.

Indiglos and new stereo to match. Neons under the seats would also look cool. Any more would be too much. Here's mine:

check out my ride, i have a picture of what blue neons look like with red dash lights. i have 2 under the seats and 2 under the dash, if you turn the brightness down on your dash lights the neo-blue will take over your interior.

I am getting Blue LED's for my dash and hopefully sometime in the fututre green noeons under the seats to match the green underbody kit. I also am installing reverse indiglo and I can change the color of my TV screen, which is why I picked blue LEDs

I went with the red on red Idea and I love it. It coorordinates with the
color scheme very well.

use LED's if you're going to light anything
