...and it's just the beginning. :icon_yes:

haha Here's my tC's lighting so far. The wiring was done by my friend Todd (SCBlackBox) and I. Most of the lights were bought on Oznium.com.

Here's a picture with all of the doors and windows shut. You can see some of the blue lights inside the car. The white lights above the license plate are from SuperbrightLEDs.com.

Here's a view from the front of the car. The blue lights in the headlights are also from SuperbrightLEDs.com. There is no over exposure either, they really are this bright! :surprise:

Here's a picture with the doors and hatch open. This is a little over exposed so they look a little brighter than they really are.

Here's a view directly from the rear. Notice the puddle lamps under the doors, and the lights in the trunk. The blue lights in the sub box and the two white lights on either side of the trunk are wired to come on when the hatch is opened. :mro:

Here's a close up of the subwoofer box. So far there's just one 19" LED strip inside of it, but I plan to add another one. Also, notice I put a Scion emblem off of my OEM grille in it. Nice touch, isn't it?

Here's a shot with the sub box in the picture, as well as a closer look at the white trunk lighting.

Here's a shot with the camera sitting on top of the sub box. The dome light is from SuperbrightLEDs.com but everything else in this picture is 100% Oznium! :Banane03: There's LED Strips under the dash, LEDs in the air vents, an LED in the cubby hole, LEDs in the rear footwells, LEDs in the door handles, and LEDs in the door pockets.

Here's a closer look at the footwell lighting.

And a picture of one of the vent LEDs. It really does cast that much light on the a-pillar.

Here's a closer look at the same air vent.

Here's a closer look at the lights in the doors. An LED in the door handle, and an LED in the door pocket. Also, you can't see the puddle lamp LED on the bottom of the door, but you can see the white light that it's casting.

Later on, I plan on getting an underglow kit, some led strips behind my grilles, some strobes, some super bright reverse lights, some more leds for the puddle lamps to cast more light, more leds in the sub box, some spotlight leds under the hood and under the trunk hatch, some led strips in the engine bay, some wheel well lighting, HIDs, and maybe some more things I just haven't thought of yet.

My car's growing to be brighter than Haley's comet! haha

What do you all think?

Looks like you have a very solid start. I'd also put a tripod on your shopping list. It improves your exposed picture quality 100%. Keep up the good glow work.

Yeah I have a little mini tripod but I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks for the compliments though! :)

I don't want to make it ricey with too much glow, but I want to have lots of it! Lights are pretty and stuff.

I might just do that, Todd. Eventually my car will be bright enough to light up your whole garage as much as the flourescent lights in the ceiling.

Are you gonna change your dash lights to blue also?

Eventually I will do a white and blue color scheme for my gauges and HVAC. But probably not for awhile.

pretty nice start. i would definitely get the soldering iron out and do those gauges asap! pretty simple and not that expensive at all. as for the picture quality, if you're camera has a sport function use it. i could never get good pics of lights until i realized that the sport function has a higher shutter speed and works wonders with lights! i think it would help a lot of people if you added a list of what you have in each location. like 1 5mm in the air vents and 2-5mm in the cup holders and so on. looks good!
