I don't like everything white, but i do like how the led's made the reverse lights a lot more focused and clear.

i highly recomend changing your glove box courtesy light to red, it doesnt interfer with the drivers vision nearly as much when opened at night. Plus matches the console red as well.

next you should replace your license plate light

o i have a bulb for that we just didnt feel like taking the rear bumper off at 12am its going on today along with some Zaino

ndtechie09

yes fitment was good tho the found out that the bulb only goes in 1 way, if you turn it around it wont work so if it doesnt work at first, flip the socket around and it will.

turn signals i did not do stealth...yet. im debating on LEDs still. the LED's make the lights look pure. the red is a deep red instead of an orangish red and the white is just super bright.

DAMN you have to take off the whole bumper for that ???

I don't think LEDs reverse lights are bright enough... what do you think?

ndtechie09

We read the manual wrong, as af of now, you dont need to take off the bumper off. Here a few pictures

I had LED bulbs but I did not find them bright enough. They were OK, but definitely less bright than stock and they don't fill the reflectors as well. Mine were all 15-LED bulbs.
They look cool though.

Your setup looks tight!

as of a few hours ago, the liscense plate light is now the same color as the courtesys (hyper white)

ndtechie09

The color of the bulbs look very pure now. The red is a deep red and the white is a bright white. I'm happy with everything being uniform now. I'll be posting more pics in a little while.

here are some close ups

hmm... that little yellow circuit line in the led bulbs makes it kinda.. not appealing.

the only reason your seeing that is because i held the camera almost touching the plastic to take those pics, you dont see it under normail circumstances.

Looking good. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Can you post some pics of what it looks like with LEDs in both sides and maybe how much it illuminates the area behind the car when backing up?

dynamho

I must admit that it looks sharp, but the decrease in lumens of the overall setup deters me from actually spending time on the mod.

LED bulb swap:

Pros:
- looks sharp
- faster full illumination response

Cons:
- lacks lumens
- sucks up your time

Those look pretty cool but don't they blink at a different speed now since the bulbs are so much more power efficient then the stocks?

same speed, no change
