Here are two more recent pics i just took. I'm not completely satisfied becaue I would like my vents to be brighter than what they are. they are a little brighter in person than on these pics but not by much. I was a pain in the ass getting in those areas though and I definately dont want any light source to be visible.

Any suggestions on what I should use??? I'm thinking about the ribbon LED's but if i use those the light will mostly reflect off the top of the inner vent. I currently only have one 5mm LED in each vent..

My new Dash guages however, are not lit by me. that was something I got off ebay to replace the stock black face with red lights. This one is a White face which you can see in better light, and it lights up blue as you can see in the pictures below, it also has a dimmer and can be switched between green and blue.

replace your 5mm LEDs with Superflux LEDs. I have one red superflux in each side vent and two in the center vent and they are plenty bright, even for red.

I had superflux before and they just didnt seem that bright. and at one point I noticed that the blue superflux is a different color than the blue 3/5 mm LED's. I was thinking maybe the LED modules.. what do you think about those???

I like the LED modules, I have a short black module in my defrost vent, but I'm not quite sure how well the light would project in a vent.

If you don't like the color of the superflux, then maybe try adding another 5mm LEDs to each vent.

You could use the flex strip and then cut the length when you find the right amount of glow.
