OK, now that I've installed blue neon in car lights, and the coloring on the stereo I end up getting will most likely be blue, is it a good idea to keep the rest of the coloring in the interior blue?
And just so you all know, this is my first time doing up a car. I've never been interested as I've always been about my sports, AFL footy and basketball, and never been much of a car person. But I feel now it's time to get into it.
Here we go. Photo of the blue neon light. Was taken with my iPhone. Opinions?

No no, I wasn't driving. Was perfectly parked when I took the shot. It just wasn't really dark enough (well seemed that way) to take the shot and it seemed to look more effective if I put my feet there lol.
Yeah they have the LED's here, would've been a better option??
Not necessarily... both look nice, so personal preference on which looks best. Most lighting is moving to LED in my niche, so just wasn't aware of the options and price advantages that are still available with neon. The durability and lower power advantages of LEDs are not as significant for interior lighting. My only reservation on low cost 12V neons for the interior would be the chance of transformer noise showing up in the audio (OK, I still listen to the local car guy on AM), but then who listens to their car audio with the lights on?Quote:

Now as you would have seen, my car is black, with a white and teal V on the bonnet, to look like the playing guernsey of the Port Adelaide Football Club. Silver is also another one of our colors, which we don't even use for anything other than the logo. It would make sense to have the same coloring for the interior correct? So what can I do for the interior?
I love the smell of white leather in the morning.
i cant even own a white T shirt, i could never do white leather. My cadillac had a yellow interior, and it didnt last long..
Yeah I think I'll be avoiding white for things like seats lol.
