I don't have a lot sorry, mid
Winter here in Australia too and it all tucked away. The lighting I used under the seats, dash and in the voids above cup holders are just standard waterproof led strip off eBay and just wired them into existing led's .

I painted my clear lenses with a glass/ceramic tile transparent paint, did a few coats until I got the exact colour blue to match my underseat lighting strips I installed. 4'years on and they are still like new.

What type/brand of glass/ceramic tile transparent paint did you use? And where did you get it from?

I just bought the same glass paint. Any tips on painting the lights. How long did you let it dry between coats? What type of brush did you use to paint it on?

I just used a tiny model paintbrush, like the ones you paint a small
Model with. I left it about 2 hours between each coat. And did about 5 coats I think total.

This glass paint worked great. Painted mine with three coats of blue and it looks as good as factory color. Highly recommended if you want t add color to white factor LEDs.
