Hi Molly, and welcome to LOC biggrin.gif

As for mods on the IS, it all depends wether you want to go all out or just subtle, and how much you want to spend.

There are a lot of modded IS on here, to give you some ideas.

Welcome,

Depends what mods you want, handling? looks? power? electronics?

Post up some pics of your IS.

this is my new baby.

i fancy keeping the mods quite subtle.. but a must is pink lights inside and an ipod attatchment.

Welcome to the club Molly biggrin.gif

Looks like a nice lex you have, and the pink lighting isnt going to be easy as the colour is quite hard to find in the sizes you require have only seen 5mm pink leds on my searches in the past? smile.gif

You need to search Ebay for LED strips like this:

Pink LED strips item 360099881281

if you search Wozza did a walkthrough for installing them i think, but make sure you fit a fuse and diode with them for electrical safety.

not too sure on the starter button? sparkystav may be able to help you with that one?

Here's a pic of my interior lighting, with the multi-coloured clocks the UV/purple footwell lights and the UV/purple ignition ring whistling.gif

You can get starter button kits off ebay, just replace the cigar lighter, just be careful to buy a decent one, my mate bought one and the wire was dangerously thin for such a high current on starting.

The middle bit is quite tricky to do? Sparkystav again has done this bit on his lex and looks very good but was a lot of work?

My footwell lights are cold cathode tubes wired up to the ignition barel light, so they turn on and fade out with the interior lights cool.gif

If you get stuck give us a shout and we'll see how we can help you with your conversion biggrin.gif
