lol... They look good. Its just that a bright blue led inside of a luxury car doesnt look right to me. If they were white or amber would looks a lot better IMO.

My first thought was I would do white in mine, so I do agree w/ the other guys on that, but it looks sweet and if you like the blue keep it.

are they on a switch?

I was just letting you know my opinion, the blue is cool, if you like it...keep it, its your car. Don't let anyone's opinion make you change your lights....

I had that color combo when I was in high school. Had a blue Corolla SR5 with white meshed wheels with polished lips. It was super sharp and a head turner. You should do a photoshop mock up on your LS first though to see if that combo works on a larger car.

PS: I had blue underdash lighting also on my 2004 Honda S2000 so I'm in your camp
