Interior Lighting

I would like to convert my interior lighting (dome lamp bulbs F/R) to match the guages and center console.....does anyone know a good way to do this, or someplace to purchase these bulbs.

P.S. I did the rear fog mod....so cool
I love the little things

Answers....

You can buy red bulbs or buy some sort of painters gel and cover your while bulbs so that they are red whenever you use or open doors, etc...
If you're talking about having red interior lights while driving you can give the Red Dome Light Mod (tech section). I've tried it many times doesn't work, i know others who can't get it to work. But you can give it a try, otherwise there is the W8 Passat Sunroof Control; Quattrofrog has done it.

Lastly you just did the dual rear fog, what did you use to make contact from the bulb and bulb hole to the actual current?

red transparency film or something similar in the lights will do it

I was able to get the LED dome mod to work... just takes some tricky grounding

I grounded it to the negative of lights already in the console. (more)

also, make SURE that the ground is not touching anything else... the first time I sodlered it in, the solder was just barely touching the positive terminal... and that would mean it wouldn't work. there is not much clearance in there so you have to be meticulous in your use of sodler.
