INT: Red Door Lights

Accordwgnguy, just outta curiosity, why'd you paint the inside as opposed to the outside?

And did you change bulbs on the HVAC controls or did you color the inside of them?

Looks really cool.

I dont mean to hijack ya thread but was just gonna show the light output of the standard OEM RED EDM lights as to the DIY ones


DIY Door Lights ^^^ Originally Clear Tinted RED


EDM Door Lights ^^^ Come RED as standard

Yeah the light output of the real EDM ones look much better. My DIY red lights i want to put back to clear. Light output doesn't function the same. It looks cool though. Kind of like the older BMW's.

The inside is textured while the outer side is smooth. The inside has the lines.

I completely forgot that I did this DIY write up, too bad i can't do it to the lude which doesn't have these lights

Well you get that painted look no matter how nice you paint it if you do the outside....It's like tinting a window. The transparent paint tints it.

You can't just put different colored bulbs in the hvac, you gotta break the buttons off of the front to remove the blue gels and then glue the buttons back on. PM me if you wanna know more.
