    Inteior lighting

    What is the best website for ordering interior lighting? I want to replace all my interior lights with blue lights. I figured this would be a good idea because I'll be tinting my windows black and repaint my car black also. My car is a 1995 Merc Grand Marquis LS. (I love my car).

    Also, is there a cheap way of repairing leather seats without replacing them or buying seat covers? If I can, I will try to post pics of my interior to help you guys to understand what Im talking about.

    I love your cars btw. We need more 1992-1997 GM pics on the GMN readers rides.

      OK. Go here:
      http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/

      it should show you every replacement bulb you need. I originally did red lights in the tankI and blue in the tankII. But, i went with incandescent bulbs. After about a month, the red turned pink, and the blue turned aqua/teal.
      Now, here's the difference maker.
      Use LED's.
      Anyone on here will tell you, go with LED's. FTW!!!!
      I used the guide on the sylvania site, and then ordered the LED's on ebay. just type in color, led, and Bulb#. For example:
      Red led 194
      those are the the bulbs that shine where your feet are in the front seats. get a LED that has atleast 4 diodes in it, or else you're wasting your money. It also helps to buy from the same seller. And go with the guys who do free shipping. Usually, if you order it all through the same company, you can get everything at once.
      It cost me about $40 to do the entire interior of the Marauder in red.
      The Tank II however, i bought those 4 LED kits from advanced and hardwired them in.

      the only downside is that blue is a bit of a darker color. and with tinted windows, it may end up being quite dark in there.

      one thing i did in both cars, was to leave the overhead nav lights white. Because when you're driving down the road, and looking at a map, at night, trying to figure out where you're going, red and blue light DO NOT help. trust me.

        Oh, quick explanation that will help you a bit on here.
        1979-1991 are considered Boxes
        1992-1997 are considered Aeros
        1998-2009 are considered Whales.
        it's a quick and easy way to distinguish between the three.

              NO. That's for a computer.

              They are LED bulb's. All you have to do is swap them. I hope you can change a light bulb!
              OK this is what you need:
              2 194
              3 211-2
              2 168
              3 906

              START HERE:

              http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-...ht_1207wt_1167


              and as you go through just change the bulb numbers in the search.
