UV interior lights and bits of glow stuff

I haven't had a crazy idea in a couple days, but I was just thinking inexpensive UV LEDs are available, so I wonder how they might work as an interior light combined with bits of the glow stuff on things like door handles and window switches that aren't practical to illuminate? I'm thinking maybe three in or near the current front overhead light location with the beams shrouded and targeted to doors and center console, not passengers.

All my interior lights have been changed to blue led. Also hav 2 small 6 inch neon blue lights inder the passenger and driver shelfs. Makes a cool blue glow when doors are opened. You black light idea would be better and not as Fast and Furious.

I have white face gauges that glow blue/green when lit up. Speedo says "Landshark" Tach says "Porsche 928S"

Vacuum, A/F and Nitrous pressure.

What illuminates the needles? Or are replacements sent along with the kit?

Nothing. The gauge faces glow. The needle can be seen in contrast to the face.

OK, that must be for the EL GLO.

I saw on the link they also have the reverse EL GLO, that's the one where the face goes black and the numbers light up.
