Simple question, for the interior illumination kid Blue or Red??!

Fastbrew · 06-27-2014, 11:29 AM

It was one of the first things I did.

I say red

I have red in my car because it matches all of the lights for the gauges and whatnot. Got the dealer installed accessory

Will try to get a pic up soon

Edit: Kevin i see you're local and was wondering if you'd like to meet up sometime to check em out in person, PM me if you want to do that.

Almost all of us have black and red interiors. I don't understand why you'd want anything other than red, but that's just me. I'd love some red lights in my interior.

If you have Series.Blue go with blue. Everything else go with red.

I say blue. Red messes with your circadian rhythm and makes you sleepy. Blue wakes forces your internal clock to stay awake.

Useful when driving.

Except all the backlighting is still red...

Except our eyes react to blue by closing the iris thus killing your night vision. Blue is also damaging to your eyes.

Blue light at night messes your circadian rhythm. Red isn't an issue as its not visible daytime.

Blue in my BRZ but changing to red as soon as I order all the rest of my lighting. I get that it's Subaru blue but I'm going with the whole Pearl/Gray/Black/Red scheme. The blue will really throw it off.

For sure not blue, my car came with the factory blue kit and it was way too bright. They dim with the factory dimmer, but to make it at not an annoying amount of light, I can barely see the gauges! I just ended up taking them out.

My Series blue is definitely having an identify crises as it has 2 different color schemes. I just gave up on trying to have everything match.

Exterior - pearl, black rims, red calipers, black sti body kit
Interior - black /w blue inserts, blue lights shining on your feet.
Engine - Red intake and red pulley's

I was thinking of going with the blue LED lights to keep the interior blue but i may just go with white.

Get the multi color led interior lighting kit. No decisions made change it when you want!
