thanks Goku....you mentioned you also redid the bulbs in your interior with LED. What did you go with in the interior? Are they just plug and play direct replacement?

Yep, plug and play. I didn't replace the footwell light. I didn't feel like doing any modifications, but I change everything else...plug play. There is an LED super long thread that had the different bulb types to use. I didn't go with that particual vendor because the LED bulbs were too expensive for my like...so I got the bulb size and went to eBay and bought everything there.

This.I did the same thing. I think that's a little too bright. I like the factory look.

i want something a little brighter but maybe not as bright as the ones on the first page. Anybody have any experience with some led's that are a good medium with a very slight blue tint to them, kinda like the newer lexus' look.
