I didnt use LED's i used the OEM bulbs. They come in both clear and amber. I just bought all amber bulbs and replaced em. The LED ones do cost more. Its just a freakin light so i personally wouldn't spend my cash on LED's

i ordered some blue led ones from superbrightleds.com. they cost about 1.75 per bulb. i just ordered 13 of them so they should be here within a day or two. iv heard alot of good stuff from them

Are you keeping the interior gutted? Why not paint the exterior the matching color then? Personally I think it would look wack with the gutted silver interior and white exterior. The gut/paint looks good though, reminds me of my hatch.

 

[CHILD]

yes im keeping it gutted. ill eventually put in a buddy club bucket seat and my takatas when i get around to it.

the silver interior paint flows well with the all gray interior thats in the car, and will still match with the gray and black buckets when they are in. Thats the same silver thats sprayed onto the block, transmission, and tower bar. I dont care about following the crowd and having my gutted interior matched with the exterior. when im driving all i see is gray and black, when i get out, all i see is white.

[CHILD]

[mymmeryloss]

vrey nice...
pics of the swap...
paint the bay silver too and do a tuck while u can...

 

[CHILD]

im not sure if im gonna paint the engine bay another color or not. I only like the silver on the interior because it looks more like bare metal and it goes with the factory grey interior. I may end up going back to white on the interior though.

ill get pics of everything as things happen. I only plan on tucking the headlight harnesses in the future. But who knows, plans tend to change all the time when you mod

 

[OTiS133]

that they do lol. where did you order from??
