Too lazy to move the old van :thumbsdow, i'll take another one later.

Forgot the cargo light i change :headbash:


Update: new Hids, finally. unfortunately, i forgot my cargo light again:headbash::headbash::headbash:

http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab290/unrealchink/Hids/xx.jpg
from the picture it looks like a short distance, but the light is thrown over 20 feet.

http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab290/unrealchink/Hids/xxx.jpg
this is throw like down a street, from where the light hits, probably a good 40-50 feet.

I like how the license plate led looks. I have one on from retro but you know, I am not exactly satisfied with that mod because I can't really see it LOL. I like it though because now there is a luxury look overall =D

btw the pics dont really do justice for my interiors lights, which are brighter than they appear.

Thanks! But I think I'm okay with what's on now. I wouldn't really notice the differences really because I'm in the car 99% of the time. Thanks though!!!

Where did you get the HID lights from, how hard was it to install? Also, where did you get the LED's from? I want to do both of these mods.

What about the LED's, where did you get them from? and were the HIDs hard to install? Is it just a matter of plugging in the new ones?

The Leds i got from were from multiple sites. (PM me if you would like the links)

and the Hids were basically plug and play.

however i noticed one of the wires were inverted (a few others reported the same problem) you'll notice which wires these are when you are installing them because it will not fit right. you put the red with red, and blue with blue (positive with +, negative with -).


however, there are other sites to buy hids from, contact me if you're interested.

I bought a steering wheel emblem from the same place but the edges are not sticking. It does not look flush. I constantly have to press it down. How did you install yours?

same happened to me, the 3m tape isnt thick enough, it barely touches the emblem.

a lot of people use silicon to keep it on.

you need 168 bulbs for license plate. there is the option of high powered or regular: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fmini-wedge.html%23wled

look at the "WLED miniature wedge base bulbs"

for 55w HIDs, a relay harness is recommended. for 35w HIDs, its only optional. but either way, its always good to have more power to the HIDs.

@paperboy...where did you get those high powered LEDs from? I have the same coupe as you and I'm interested in upgrading my interior lighting. If you can point to your exact purchase...that would be great.

I got it from superbrightleds.com. they are plug and play LEDs and I havent had any electrical problems with them. Let me know if you need help finding the right LED bulb part #'s, there's a lot to look through.

Well, I'm mainly looking for interior map/rear dome LEDs, then the lights on the door that turn on when the doors open, and then the license plate lights.

Looking on Sylvania's website, I need:
License plate - 2x 168
Map Light - 2x DE3175
Rear Dome Light - DE3175
Step Courtesy Light - 2x 194
Trunk - 168

I'm just confused on what to buy since like you said there are so many options. I want cool white for all of the colors though. And I don't know whether to buy festoon on wedge base lights.
