Default LED Swap almost complete

ok, so i got my amber LED's in for my front and rear turn signals. back-up super bright white LED's i've had for 2 months. here are some pics.

here's my back light (just the left side, but both sides are identical).




here's the super bright white back up LED. (a little dimmer in the daylight, looks better at night).




here's the rear turn signal... looks good on.





here's the front turn when off...




and here's the front turn when on...







all i have left now are to replace the brake lights with LED, and the dome light, and the "hatch light". and my personal "LED swap" will be completed. so with this i now have....

LED map lights, LED back-up lights, LED turn signals (front and rear).

the only LED's left to change to are as i said dome, hatch, and brake lights. then i want to change my console over from orange to blue, and i know that garage dude has it. coming soon....

Nice dude. I just finished swapping all my lights out. You should definitely look into the led tag lights. Make the back look so clean.

yeah i know...

what i'm going to do is contact VLED's, cause they F-ed my order up... iw as supposed to get the 16 LED bright white dome light 3022, but they sent me a pair of 6 LED 168's... dunno how they F that one up.

so i contacted them (by site e-mail... only way... that sucks) and explained the situation. maybe they'll send me one for free to make up for the mistake (cause i'm using the 6 LED one's for map lights now... damn they're bright.

and the 3022 i got from garage i fit into my dome... that thing is wicked cool looking in the dark. inside looks like my LED tubes are on with only that thing on....

so i dunno what i'm going to do... we'll see...

ok so i finally got a video up of my LED's AT NIGHT (yes finally, now stop hounding me)....

it's on youtube.

here's the link....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_LzMU1inK8


the video shows my brake/tail lights, turn signals, back-up, license plate, and my blue LED "running" lights.

finally, i got my LED turn signal flasher in too, back to normal turn signal flashing, but minus the flash on lock/unlock. It's a give and take I guess.

how do you guys like it? I can give you details on what each bulb was: cost, size, number of LED's, where purchased, etc...

enjoy!!!!

um... i might still... depends on what i get as a new car, or if it can be fixed. if i don't use them, and can get them all out, the total cost by me for the flasher and shipping and all LED's was around $200. so you still willing if i don't use them?
