The Rest of the LEDs are here!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!
After putting up with the stupidest shipping fiasco with UPS, FedEx finally delivered my bulbs to me today (1 day from NYC to HNL). I think im gonna wake up early tomorrow and install these before going into work.
This will complete all my lights in the car.
Stock HID
Stealth Turn Signals (On All 4)
PIAA Fog Lights
PIAA Reverse Lights
PIAA Dome Light
PIAA Super White LEDs in the...
If SCSI is available this weekend, i'll make sure to get some night pics up. I would take them with my own camera... but that would suck.

I'll try get better ones done whenever we do the full photoshop thing. God knows when that'll be.
Clear Lense and Parking Light:
Vanity Light:
Dome Light:
I'll get the reverse lights later tonight. Too much trafic on the road for me to roll a camera stand into the street, and by camera stand i mean trash can.
Oh and i forgot the door jam, but its the same color as the other LEDs.

Its actually for the Reverse Lights - this way everybody within a one mile radius is gonna see know i'm backing up. HAR HAR
I like using the stealth ambers for the turn signals, they come out to be a really dark amber color... niiiice.
after dealing with all sorts of cheaper brands on my last car, and PIAA being the only one that lasted... i've decided to stick with them. Never once have I had an issue with a PIAA bulb.

I looked online and found 31mm festoon bulbs. 31mm long is fine, but they were 10mm wide. The OEM bulb seems to be 6mm wide. I'm thinking 10mm is gonna be way too large for the housing.
I'll keep searching online to see what i can find.

I went the cheap route via ebay and picked up bulbs for the doors, map light and dome. All are blue led's and I like they way they look. One thing I found helpful was the sellers link to sylvania's replacement light chart (found here
My led's with shipping cost me $42 and 45 min to install. I can take pics if u are interested.

isn't superbright led's the same as autolumination?
Can't wait to see these guys installed. I've literrally spent a few hundred on bulbs for my 8 but I'm always looking for more. Let us know how it goes

oh i put them all in, except the vanity mirror lights of course - and will take pics soon.
I was happy with everything but the license plate light. The LED projects a really sharp beam of light - but its narrow and doesn't fully illuminate the whole plate. Oh well - its still better than the stock light.
