How does the blue do in the daytime?
The only thing holding me back is seeing a S2000 with blue LED conversion on the interior and you couldn’t see a damn thing in the daytime.

Acree Did this Mod on my Z last weekend. It took a long time But its great. There is a few things we need to work out with the gauge faces but other than that it looks great.
The Blue on the trip computer Is a Little hard to see in DIRECT BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, but everything else you can see just fine.
Sorry the Pics suck

That is from the dome light conversion I did for him. When you open the door or unlock the car, it's blue. Anytime you push it in, the blue light turns off and a bright white turns on. The white is much more functional, but it still allows for an accent. I am able to do these overnight, so you wouldn't be without a domelight for very long.
And here is the link to mine with a video of how it works.

There is a huge price difference, and I can do any color combination you want. PM me if interested.
