Blue Interior Lights

Felt like my truck was a bit too dark at night at times. Decided to add some interior blue lights. Figured I would share. Let me know if you think they are tacky so I can remove lol Nah I like them a lot though! Hooked them up through AUX 1 Upfitter switch.

I had red ones in my old 74 Chevy Vega GT hatchback, controlled through my own custom-installed upfitter switches.

What did you use for lights and where, and if you could walk me through the upfitter connection, that would be awesome.

I have a friend that has a cab full of isspro gauges. A while back he switched to the blue color scheme, fast forward a few months and he is at his optometrist with the complaint that he is losing his night vision. They chat for a while and it gets mention d that he has a good cab full of blue lighted gauges. That will do it says the Doc so he switches back to green and within a short period of time his night vision is back to normal. He didn't just have issues driving, it was anytime it was dark.

I think the blue looks awesome, just wanted to give you a heads up in case you encounter the same issue.

I agree, the blue looks really cool. However, I doubt that you can see very far down the road at night when they're on...there's a reason that military aircraft set up for Night Flights only use green on their instrument panels... they want to preserve their night vision.

Green or Red are the only 2 color's that are non-damaging to eye's @ night (as far as I know) & remember the "brightness" is equally as important

To the OP they do look cool but I use RED @ a more Dim level

I was thinking of doing something like this to my truck, but only having them come on when I open the door or turn on the interior lights.


May I ask where you got the LED lights from?
