Default got the mod bug bad!

cant seem to stop working on my truck.
got a black westin bull bar with 2 hella 500ff's.
moved my iat sensor to inside my air hat.
installed more blue lighting in the cab (overhead map lights and hedliner light)
replaced dash cluster, overhead, hvac, and headlight switch with blue led's,
got an extra deep deezee low profile tool box for the bed.
got my windows tinited.

next week im rino-lining the bed and im going to get black diamond plate bed-rail covers.

cant decide if i want to leave the tool box aluminum or paint it black. i think that might be too much black in the bed.. with the rails and liner.. ??


the blue looks 100%better in person, this is just my camera phone being a piece of *hit
everything is very even not spotty like in the pictures

hmm that looks pretty cool I wonder if i could do red or orange or would the
color of the plastic affect the color of my lights because blue still would work
with my truck actually blue would be about right seeing as my current deck and
my future one will be blue do hmm this might be doable sorry abolyu the drunk

"got the mod bug bad! "

it lies dormant from the second you sign up. then with out warning it strikes. there is no known cure for it.

Blue is your only option. The overlays for the lights are blue, with yellow bulbs underneath. That's how we end up with green. If you put in red leds, nothing shows through because the blue absorbs the red spectrum. I did this swap a while back, but ended up going back to stock because it didn't feel right with my red truck. It's a very doable mod, just take your time and do it right.

To the OP: nice work!
