Thumbs up First Mod - terrible pics

I usually do all the mods I want right after I buy the car. This time I decided to wait and take it slow. I've had the car since Thanksgiving. I should have everything done by the Summer. Anyway, the first mod I went with, since it's winter, is to change out the LED's. I had Tim Louie, the LED guy swap out my lights. He did some great work. I had no idea multiple colors could be used. With his input, we went with blue and white. I took terrible pics, and may have to do it again later, but I wanted to post these today. I know it may seem that the LED's are overpowering, but they are not. It's just the way they look on my camera. I couldn't be happier about the work he did. He also changed out the LED's on the seat warmer/cooler. When you go to heat it turns red and when you switch to cool it goes blue. The gauge needles are blue as is most of the lighting. Used some white to break up all the blue, but blue is still the dominant color overall. He also added some cup holder lights. I just can't say enough about how much I like it. Most of the mods you do are for other people to see. This one you get to enjoy every night. Like I said the pics are terrible, but you get the idea. I may take new ones later.

I've been dying to get something like this done, but have no clue where to begin. From what I see Tim the LED GUY does an awesome job, but he isn't an option living in South Florida. Anyone have any ideas? I'm completely done with modding my car except for this.

OMG thank you for posting pictures! Blue is my first choice for color and it looks AWESOME. I can't believe he can do the instrument cluster. That is amazing work! Blue with still some white, you did it perfect man, it's a nice balance!!
