Looks great. And just like my project pics with screwdrivers and wrenches still on the floor. "I'm done, grab the camera!". Lol. I've considered switching the interior lights out as well but haven't gotten around to it. Be sure you keep your thread updated with lots of pics as you go, and keep up the good work!

lighting mods are always a good first choice I think. They are relatively easy and the outcome is easily enjoyed

Cool! I like how all the lights match now. Wish the fog lights came with the car like that.
