I am looking to get some led lights for the interior, like the dome light and maybe some strips to go underneath the dash.
Is this possible? Plus I want them in blue :yum:
Does anybody have any ideas how to go about this or, where to find parts already made for this type of conversion?

Some people have done this on G8's if you want to look over on the G8 boards. I would guess the process is the same for the most part. You can get the LED's off of eBay in the size you need and then wire them up yourself.

if you make your own such as buying them from ebay, make sure you purchase the wide angle leds. Get ones that have the 180 deg field of view. Those won't have any focus points and give a pattern of warm light that shines equally everywhere. If you get less than that, there will be bright spots of light everywhere and won't look very nice.
Also, as for the color. you may want to order a set in white as well. They are cheap enough, and LED white is very blue looking and maybe blue enough for your liking. Just make sure to get resistors with the leds so you don't burn them up.
It would be fairly cheap and easy to do what you want. However, you may just want to look into replacing the stock bulbs with led compatible ones. They make an led alternative to just about any bulb size out there. Just get the number of the bulb you have, type that in with led in a search on ebay and you should find them. It will cost you more, but it may be the easiest way to get the look your after.

I went ahead and went with the oracle blue strips, it should be interesting, two for each side under the dash and I have bought for LED bulbs that looked like they would fit into the original sockets, ... hopefully the guess is right on the side.
Plus I seen the the led dome light, you can get it at ricks camaro shop, but I really trying to keep my interior super stock (in a way) so I getting the dome light
