Anyone else not satisfied with red interior lights...

[Wes]

well thats pretty cool, but now it conflicts with the red stitching.. but then again i like the red lights

I would personally use white SMD's instead and use clear colored vinyl on the bits I want colored. It'd have a better effect across the board IMO.

Okay, the blue looks cool. Write up please thanks!

These pictures are from an iPhone 5. The color you see isn't the true blue. It's a deep rich blue in person. Hopefully the better pictures will show this.

You must have been bored. Original though. I like it!

With blue light you'll be desensitizing your night vision cells (rods) a bit, just be forewarned.

This is actually somewhat of a myth. Night vision is impacted mainly by light intensity. Since the car has a dimming feature a comfortable level can be set that will minimally affect night vision while still allowing you to see the gauges. The main reason the red myth persists is that it takes a much more intense red light to be seen as bright as a blue light, so if both are set at the same perceived intensity the blue will be worse for your night vision. While it is true that red and blue affect different parts of the eye (cones vs rods) the most up to date research suggests that a low level blue/green light will be the best color for you to preserve overall night vision.

They've been using green/red lighting in military applications for decades. It is true that blue light doesn't "enhance" night vision, but at moderate levels, it certainly does not degrade night vision.

Unfortunately using longer exposure times with the camera the color is coming out a bit more turquoise than it looks in reality. I'm not sure if this has to do with the wavelengths of the LEDs and what the camera sensor is picking up, but they definitely have more of a blue tint to them in person (much closer to the teaser pic in the first post.
