Im sure if you add any color LED then you'llbe fine ... they're bright enough for me to see in the back anyway

Thats what I am doing as well!

I added the blue LED's in mine to match my gauges -- BRIGHT is all I can say... way more blue then what I thought it would be

It's not very bright at all, and I think it looks pretty dumb, especially the cupholder lighting. You're better off putting different LEDs in the maplights

So here's a question. I noticed you can put an LED cluster in your overhead map lights. How easy do you think it would be to add your own "mycolor" switch with the LED cluster so that when you turn on the light, you'll be able to select which LEDs are lit.

For instance, your LED clusters are labled like this:

Spots 1 and 5 (maplight one and two) = White LEDs
Spots 2 and 6 = Red LEDs
Spots 3 and 7 = Blue LEDs
Spots 4 and 8 = Green LEDs

Each press turns on a different LED combo and continued pressing turns on another pair of LEDs, much like your mycolor in your car.

If anyone's bored, brave, and smart enough to do this, it might be a nice touch to a fully customizeable car.

ihave it to i like itbut for some reason the girls seem to really like it
Especially if they're under 10 yo.

Waste of $$$ imo. I'd rather had decent overhead lighting.

it came with mine, i didn't really know until i hit a button near the cup holder and i was like wow, that did nothing (mind you this was at 3 in the afternoon with the sunlight beading into the car). however, at night it's kinda interesting thing to have but it gets old, REALLY fast. just my thoughts, i've had this mustang for about a month and i usually don't even think to press it on.
