   The silver is abit bright for me, i'd have gone with a darker grey. I like the lighting. How is everyone getting around the problem with the ciggy lighter colour (ie the surround is green on the sax)

   Its just a buld change pal, tricky and fiddly...need plenty of patience but you just order the kit off t-bay...
   
   I am going to tone it down a little, more of a grey again.

    I used a gunmetal in my astra bit like preds above, it wasnt in your face but clearly stood out, and made the interior look 100% better.
    
    Did the blue light conversion like you too. much nicer than orange

    like it gives a nice contrast to the black dash. the blue lightning defo looks better than the orange in the standard astra and corsa's personally I wouldn't go darker.
