Looks tight! Sweet $0.50 mod + elbow greese. I wish my dome light would work again, anybody have an idea why it doesn't?
Don't say a blown fuse, I've checked them all. (what a pain that was)

hey.. you check to see if the bulbs are blown?? LOL.. just kidding.. no.. just check to see that the bulbs are fitted properly into the holding brackets... I changed the bulbs in my mirror/done light, and It took me a couple of tries before I got them fitted properly.

Man those blue reverse lights are tight. I like the blue tint a lot better than mine. What they look like when they arent lite up? Here go mine.

 So you just got a marker and did that? Can you see fine in the trunk and inside with the dome?

I'm gonna buy the bulbs as soon as I find the 3571 or 3751 (#?) in blue. I'm getting the floor light bulbs to make my marker lights blue cuz they "laser white" or somethin like dat.

my color scheme is gonan be blue with some purple. the front interior has blue lights with a black light on my center console, and the rear is gonna be purple cuz I have 15" neon accents already and I'm waiting to hook them up. the neon underbody kit is gonna be blue as well.

I've went a lil crazy on the blue lights too. I orginally colored my dome light with a blue sharpe but it burned off and the buld turned a brownish yellow color (had to buy new ones). Well I bought blue ones but they are no where near as blue as i wanted. I also have blue reverse lights, they look good durning the day too....you can see the blue buld thru the plastic pretty good. I also have a blue led pointing toward the passanger's feet and one at the driver's feet. And a blue led in the center vent. I got the blue reverse lights off e-bay for like $8. not too bad!

blue reverse lights are easy, just replace the bulb with a blue 1156, same as the turn signal bulb. I'm working on ble and purple strobes.
Where did you get the blue dome lights? I can't find any in that size

Close to what I go too with the blue theme. Except I got indiglo blue racing pedals instead of an led. I've bought like 4 sets of blue dome lights from Ractive. Biggest waste of money I've ever spent!! They last about 20mins of on time then burn out... pure crap. Easier just to paint the stock bulbs blue once and awhile.
Don't got blue reverse lights though...
