Now, how many LEDs would I need in total for the entire enterior including the side power window/ door locks if theres any?

If you put blue LED's then you can still see the green in the background, makes it kinda messy..IMHO #0009

My Civic Si had these awesome black/red guages stock from the factory and they were always nice to look at. I may try an orange/red combo...who knows I may get PURPLE!!
