Interior LEDs?

I want to put LEDs under my dash and possibly under my back seat. does anyone have a good way to do LEDs? i want it to be a "full coverage" like a neon would be...i dont want like little spot lights. is it best to buy this pre-made from like autozone or is it easy enough to do on my own...i have seen on ebay where they sell the LEDs and the (i think they are called) resistors (correct me if im wrong). but when it comes to wireing...im a complete noob...so if anyone knows how to do this, i would love some help. or even like a wireing diagram or pictures?

thanks a lot for the help

(also if you have any other interior *cheap* mods let me know...im always up for suggestions)

I've changed my interior lights to LEDs (dome, step, ect.) and it looks a lot cleaner. No more soft yellow lights.

I swapped out my interior lights in my last ride (from superbrights) and they made the interior look real nice.

I did this with 4 12" stips and 5 3" strips i got from Advance auto parts, under the brand "Optix" which is also Street Glow

I also installed the Music Interface Module to synchronize to the Music

If you know how to wire simple electronics up then you should do fine. Its simply Positive and Negitive termanals all the way around. But the common point for all the strips is the Music Interface Module. It controls all the interior LEDS and has two Settings, Music, and ON. "ON" is constant and MUSIC is well with the music. lol


I wish i took pictures while installing it but that was before i knew anyone would want to do the same thing lol but i will take close up pics of all the install if you want me to..

Go to Oznium.com they have all you need to do the inside or out. The prices are better than anyone else ,that I looked at on the web. I just did the inside of my bed with blue cold cathodes, it came out real nice. I did it for under $40.00.
