Hello ,

I have a 55 , in which i was thinking about putting some more interior / dome lights in the car to make it alittle brighter at night. The two in the rear of the car don't put off enough light.

I was thinking of an oval shaped one in each door panel , and maybe 1 or 2 under the dash.

Anyone know of a company that makes slick interior lights ???

As usuall , all help is appreciated.........

try places like godfathercustoms.com, stillen, interiorsplus, etc. personally if you cant find what you like, build a mold, buy some clear resin and hardener, and make it the way you want it. people get this idea that its alot harder than it really is. just take your time.

P.S.- if you decide to do it your self, it really, REALLY helps to but a reeeaaaaaally thin layer of snowboard wax or PAM spray(not as good) on the mold so that the piece will come out easier. just something i learned a while back. Carefull with the spray though, as too much will set into the resin and distort the color.

Thanks for the good advice , and keep it comming....

I like the lights from Phipps , I just cant justify spending over $50 per light for what I want to do.

The search continues.......
