I've been thinking about this too. I set the lights real low to begin with
so I don't think I'd have a problem w/ intensity. What color filter did you
use to make it blue and where did you get it. I got a new stereo and it's
fancy colors make the rest of the interior look boring. What are the white
lights your talking about, if I only want to change the green lights to blue
it doesn't seem like I'd have to change bulbs anywhere.

See the colors of my stereo here

The blue is really a bright indigo.

On another note, my ex girlfriend [who now drives a sport trac :( yeck] test
drove an Audi, maybe a TT. She said it had a dial that changed the colors
of the interior lights through the entire color spectrum, now that's cool.
