hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to put leds behind the ac vents, all 4? how to unistall the dash and things like that.

Does anyone know where I can get blue leds for a good price?

What about led bulbs and other bulbs (Color blue) for the interior?

thanks

as for why you would want to do this, or how to do it, i have no comment

Get a manual, it'll show you how to pull out the dash, and by doing so you can easily get to three of the vents, I'm not sure how to get to the passenger side one though... maybe you just pry it out, but I'm not sure. As for bulbs, Options has a good selection. www.OptAuto.com or if you can't find what you need there, try Nopi.

Varad leds are really good for vent leds. Comes with double sided tape to mount, and are very bright. I have 2 in my vents and it lights the whole vent up.

Take out the whole front dash similar to if ur going to change the speedometer dials, then stick them on the sides of the vents. I made sure are the wires were secure and ran thm so they wouldn't snag anything. As for the passenger's side vent, I have no clue I'm still trying to figure that one out. rayray has a diagram of taking out the dash.

Buy some cheap washer nozzle LEDs, those should work just fine as well.

i've done the led lights in all my air vents its a pain in the ass. if i was going to redo it i wouldnt have done the leds at all in the vents. Umm the passenger vent pops out u kinda have to pry it out. I wired my lights to a switch which is connected to my fuse. To get the wire to power the light on the passenger side i used a clothes hanger and tied the wire on it then pushed it through to the other side by the fuse. PAIN IN THE ASS TOOK 2 HOURS TO DO WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN.
