That looks sick! I have been planning on doing this to mine, but I have been too lazy to find all the correct bulb sizes.

LEDs are the first mod everyone should do......its so cheap and easy but makes a BIG DIFFERENCE!!

the bulb sizes are w-194's, the map lights are different, i forgot which ones i used...........you can get them at superbrightleds.com

replacing the bulbs is easy...takes no more than 5 minutes. Just slide a flathead screwdriver into the space and pop out the plastic piece that covers the light. you can be forceful on it, it wont break

im not too crazy about the valence overlay.....it makes the rear bumper look like it end short and leaves the exhaust hanging in the middle of the air

OT, but if you've had your car over a month, where are your license plates? How long do they take in CA?

are the LED's too bright inside the car? Seems like they would be at night...

Anyone know what size the bulbs are for the fog lights, I want to try and find High Density xenon headlights for the foggers. Kind of afraid to install them myself, any one done this?
