I'm using the Hi power flanks from v-leds. They recently added the 6 SMT flank bulbs and I'm guessing they have a better output since its a newer design. I tried using the 11 SMT and they don't fit (One broke when I tried to force it in). The light output for the flanks is amazing. I use the Hi power flank for my visor light, courtesy light, puddle lamp, trunk and 27 smts for the parking lights. All white leds and they match the color temp of the 5000k hids that i bought from Xenon Depot.

I have the 5 LED refractor (Blue) from that warden guy off of ebay. Bright enough and lasts long.

A bit off topic...but does anyone know how to make the puddle lights come on faster? By the time I get to the door, I'm already inside literally before hte lights even come on. The only other solution I guess is to hit the unlock button on the fob but it's annoying taking it out of your pocket.
