    Looks great. I did the same on my 986. What brand did you use? I used xk glow and able to change colors thru app.

      Not sure of brand. They came from eBay.

      They are RGB, so I can change the color thru an app as well, but I don't ever intend to. I had EL wires installed that were white, but their controller got fried when the car was being worked on. Before I did anything about fixing them, I had the car repainted in matte black, and I went red with the trim (side vents/lower front vents, Boxster badge, and the little trim above the tailpipe), so I decided to go red with some interior stuff too. So I did the door pulls, the little clip on the door handles, a red "Boxster" decal on the batwing - from irock decals. Because of that, I decided to go red with the EL wires too. I ordered two different sets, but they looked orange, regardless of whether they were on or off, so after watching a couple of videos, I decided to try the fibre optic route. Now they look clear/white when off, and when I turn the headlights on, they look pure red. They don't light nearly as evenly as the EL wires do, but they look pretty good.

      @@tweetdriver cool. Yeah I read about the EL wire not being as bright and color dims aswell. Here is my setup. Your looks great and always looking to see what others are doing to their interiors. Great job. ruclips.net/video/939fHhr7j_M/видео.html

      @@RichardFlores2323 The EL wires were actually too bright, and I had to order a dimmer for them. The dimmer got fried somehow when the car was in for some work, and when I went to replace them I decided to go red (the EL wires were white), but the red EL wires looked a lot more orange than red (both on and off), so I went with the fibre optic.

      @@tweetdriver yes I went with XK glow fiber optic and I'm able to change colors and dim all thru my phone app. Works great.
