LED dome and Blackened Bowtie!
Well, I did a couple projects today.
I went ahead and put in an LED light in my dome. That looks pretty cool

The difference in color between LED and incandescent. I know, it's blurry

I also painted my bowtie black.
Stuff I used. No sanding. All I had to do for prep was wipe it down with rubbing alcohol.

Just two "bolts" on a plastic thread? Okay...

I folded up a page of newspaper to prop it up so I could get all sides.

Beautiful

Word of advice, use more newspaper than I did.lol

And here we are!


[EDIT] I decided to make this my build thread. So I will post future mods here.

It's very bright! I got the lights at Autozone. It was 17.99. And yes, I do believe they make it in blue.
I am going to do the rest of the interior bulbs in LED. I also want to buy a second one, and solder it in so the whole dome is LED
Hey, you would probably know this Alex, what number is the bulb in the foot-wells?

plug N' Play. Well Kind of.
It comes with multiple adapters for the push in bulbs, but mine has the long bulb with wrap around wires. So I had to bend the contacts in, and fit an adapter in. I managed to make it my B***h and work. lol
If the adapter pops back out, I'm just going to solder the wires onto the contacts.
