Cool easy LED Mod!

Just replaced some old bulbs with red LEDS in the shifters and in the foor dome lights. I also bought more red LEDS for the speedometer, but going to that in a couple days.

Red is actually one of the better color of lights to have in a car at night, the red doesn't force your eyes to adjust to the light, which means you don't lose your night vision after glancing at the gauges, also causes less strain on the eyes.

If the LEDs aren't flat tipped you will get bright spots in the gauges rather than smooth lighting. I have this same mod.
Also, nice head unit, I've got the same one, Pioneer is the stuff.
