Interior glow?

Since my car is basically green all around I was wondering what would make a good interior color. I'm thinking green would be a good choice but then again that might be to much green. Maybe a color like blue or purple might be better to help break up the color scheme of the car. What do you think?

personally, I prefer it all to match. But if you want a different color, blue or purple would be a nice choice. Both would look good together.

I would go with blue. Same thoughts as you wanting to break up the color a little bit. Green and blue would look good together.

I purchased four blue LEDs, but I can't get them to light up . I'd hate to run a wire ALL the way to the battery, just for some lights. But I've connected them to a few 12v lines and they won't light up. Not enough power or too much? I dunno.

did they light for a split second? Regular led's operate at around 1 volt 12 cooks them in a second or so

Either run your LED's in series or run resistors.

Well I picked up the ones from autozone on a whim. They'er made for car interior lighting. Unfortunatly they were so cheaply packaged they didn't come with instructions. So I just put them where I wanted them to light up, and ran all four lines to behind the stereo and connected to a few hot lines and tried turning on the car.... nothing. Connected it to another source,.... nothing again. So I dunno. I checked them, no burn marks or sign of being fried. The resistors are inside the plastic casing with the LEDs.
