    Lemme know what you guys think. Snapped these at the dealership I work at after I cleaned her up.

    P.S. Interior is red (obviously), and the H.I.D's are 6000k, I know they look a lot more blue.













    The turn signals in front are Red/White switchbacks, really goes with the theme of the car. I will try to get a video of them on here.

    I like the second set of fog lights down there, looks classy.

    Oh, the bigger ones are the turn signals, those are white LED's, the pic is just over-saturated. The little ones are projector fogs that come only on the GXP.

    But thank you.

    Time to do the tail lights in LED - just remember to resistor the flashers.

    I've been thinking about doing that... but I really can't wrap my head around having low output on the map reading lights. Is it as dim as it looks?

    I know blue is aweful, cant speak for red. White LED's are brighter than the stock bulbs in a GP. I have my wife's '02 done with white in the maps and footwells.

    It's awful. At this point, its solely for looks. Looks bfkinga tho. I wanna do strips in the footwell rather than one bulb, **** sucks. Everything else is fine.

    I just did normal wedge bulbs with 8 omni-directional and one forward pointing one. Because 04+ interior housings are like reflectors so I figured I would have the best shot with that kind.
