Talking need your opinion.........(dome lighting)

i was changing my front dome light yesterday wiht some white leds, while i was installing the leds i realize that i only have 2 white one left and 2 blue one. so i decided to install the two white on the two end and a blue in the middle. i was surprise at the outcome, i think it pretty cool, cause after you close the door the the white fade out and the blue take over, look like the white turns blue magicly hahah. im getting mix feedback from my friends, i was wondering what you guys think about it??? or .

here the link to my dome light http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_kACKedwto

also i was wondering if anyone here drive with their gauges off?? i been testing it out and it seem really good, cept for i can't see how fast im going along with anything else hahaha, but its less distracting and easy on the eye IMO. what do you guys think?

Nice find ! Now do you get enough light with the blue light being on? Or is it just providing some mood type light? From the video it was not very clear how much light was in the cabin.

Sorry to interrupt, but I added a little descriptor to help others see what this thread is discussing.

As you were...

It's already like that, I noticed that like 4 days ago when I shut the door. When you open it all lights up but when closed, only the outer bulbs shuts off and the middle dims.
