hi guys,

I've just installed a pair of small tape-on BLUE neon tubes (with audio-sensitive mode) under the steering wheel and in the tray beneath the A/C controls --> looks great on my Galaxy-grey EX sedan.

Now i'm thinking about LED-modding the map/dome/license/trunk lights...
I'm thinking of:
Map: 9LED 3022 festoon x 2 Blue (vs. white/red?)
Dome: 9LED 3022 festoon x 1 Blue (vs. red?)
Trunk: 194x2 Red (vs blue?)
License plate: 194x2 White

My question is: for a blue dash, would making the map/dome light RED make it look ugly (what comes out when u mix blue and red light?) ? Should I make the Map light WHITE since it might be easier to see maps than red/blue? But I also read that WHITE lights may make the interior look too sterile/boring?)

Finally, for the trunk light, is the 194 bulb wide-angle so that i don't need to make a light deflector to distribute the light?

Thanks a lot guys. I am aesthetically challenged and a n00b in car lighting/modding.
