nah its a blue circuit boardbulbs in the footwell.. xenon white leds everywhere else..

basically for the footwells.. its not neon tubes like most would think, shiny autos have this gel covered circuit board which is about 2mm thick that you just stick on down there,.. well hidden once stuck on..

as for the door lighting and boot handle lighting on it..

you drill a small hole in the handle and poke the led holder thru. really nice look.

wire them up to your standard interior/boot lighting so they dim as normal, gives nice glow

if you get a number plate bulb make sure you get xenon white as thats the only one that looks good there, lol blue will only get you pulled.

p.s. the pics above are not mine, they from the site, i had the same kit on my clio

I have the blue Xenons in my headlights and sidelights... plus numberplate (but haven't been pulled yet though).

TBH, the numberplate bluey glow looks pretty much white with a mild blue tinge to it anyhow, as the 'reddyness' of the yellow plate sort of neutralises the 'blueyness' a bit lol..

Yeah, my numberplate ones are the really cheap ones with blue dye over them - so not blue blue lol.

EDIT: Just ordered 3 White Xenon 31mm festoon bulbs for the courtesy light and the 2 map-reading lights
