Hey Black Betty,
Did you change your parking light (city lights as Peterbanks called them)??
I definitely would like to change those to bright white to match the headlights. Pls tell me exactly what to order and how many. Oh yeah, and what website. I don't think I wanna bother you for replacing any of the other lights. (especially since I don't know what to buy in the first place hehe)

Help your sistah Black Betty.... ;-)

I will PM you with details of all the lights I have changed, which ones I used, and where to order them from. I'd be glad to change yours for you, it only takes a few minutes to do them all. I have the parking lights (city lights) but can't change them out because my hands are too big to fit. I'll get the dealer to do it for me when I go to pick upy plates.

You can just fix the QUICK FLASH Problems via a resistor

Does anyone notice that the LED's in the map lights do not shut off completely after you have armed the alarm? The only way to shut them off is to have the switch in the "off" position. If you have it set to "door" they remain very dimly lit. Won't this drain the battery?

There is an automatic off for the lights after 30 minutes so the battery doesn't drain. I left the driver side reading light on one night when I first got my car because I couldn't figure out how to turn it off at the time. I came out 30 minutes later after reading about the auto off to save the battery and the light was off. I found out how to turn it off the correct what in the morning.
