On a 300 you just need to use extensions there is a DIY on here. The 400 I hear is more time consuming

Changed the LEDs in the rear and passenger front door control panels to white. Piece of cake. Then I check out the driver front. 1mm SMD LEDs. Gahhhhhh!
My soldiering skills suck and I do not even have a good gun.

Just picked up my 2000 GS400 Millennium Edition. It is currently sitting at 157740 km (98015 miles). It came with Tein Street Advance coilovers, Tanabe Medalion exhaust, and LED tail lights. First thing I'm going to be taking care of is a timing belt change and I also picked up Moog front outer tie rod ends and lower ball joints as it seems to be a common issue with the 2nd Gen GS. Upcoming plans with this car include getting the OEM double din dash kit and a screen installed with a rear view camera.

Those are nice. They look like Genesis wheels--what are they?

The wheels are from an Aussie Falcon. Specifically a Ford Falcon G6ET

Heres what they look like on a Falcon

I've always wanted a set, but wasn't sure how they'd look on a GS. I'm happy with them for now, but definitely want something a bit wider as they're only 19 x 8 +36 (running a 5mm slip on to clear the front brakes)
