Default Latest mods include new LED dash lights and turn signal mirrors!!!

Hey all, just thought I'd share my two latest mods. Turn signal mirrors and new LED dash lights (call it what you want lol). The latter is pretty uncommon so I feel pretty unique for now !!

Big shout out to 2slow (Tim) for installing my turn signal mirrors and replacing the stock LEDs from ugly green to Ice Blue and Cool White !! Thanks again bro!!

IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SWAP, PLEASE PM 2slow

Now onto the pictures!
LED:





This one's kinda blurry, but I'm posting it so you can see the window switches

Dunno lol. I'll just make sure too keep the lights off when I go there. Then again i'm sure it depends on the service adviser or porter looking at your car whether they'd notice or not.

I think the spoiler is a JUN-TW, but you'd have to ask 2slow to be certain

haha that's why I got 2slow to do it for me. On the plus side I now know how to take apart my interior should something arise

Thanks. I'll see what I can do about the DIY, there is another member supposedly doing the same thing in the near future, maybe I can document that or 2slow can make a new one since his last one got deleted. 2slow ordered the LED bulbs so you'd have to PM him cause I have no idea lol

Surprisingly no. I recently got the TSB on dash rattles done at the dealer so I was hoping and praying I wouldn't get them back considering I don't know what they'd say LOL. So far so good *knock on wood*

I did write a DIY, but it got erased by someone so i never wrote it another one. I was going to write one for the F, but i don't know the guy volunteering his F.

Steering wheel: Plcc-2
Bottom portion of Navigation(CD control and what not): 0603
Everything else is: 1206

There shouldn't be any rattles since nothing i take apart is coming loose.


Hopefully i can write another DIY the next time i do the LED swap which will be Saturday before wekfest. Ask pocky if he can take pictures .

That looks sick Jared. You're making me jealous, I'm falling behind on my mods! Saving up for a stereo install that Bing (Simplicity in Sound) is helping me with. PM coming your way 2slow - those LEDs are such a nice change.
