So I finally got all my shipments of LEDs to do a 100% LED swap of the entire tC2...now all I need is time. I have been working on this LED swap slowly, but here is an update of where I am so far...
The exterior LED swap of all exterior lights is complete!
I have done the License Plate lights, and (single) Reverse Light in the past. And here is what has been added to that..
Brake Lights (CK Type 7443 Red) -thanks biglilsteve



(I used a football to wedge the brake pedal down so I could take pictures haha)
Turn Signals (7440 Amber) with LED relay to prevent hyperblinking -thanks biglilsteve and BeloZero
Front:


Rear:


OH AND REPLACING THE RELAY WAS A F*CKING B*TCH!!! Not only was it uncomfortable and awkward to get to...but it was hella hard to remove! Just getting the connector off was a pain in that small area, but getting the stock relay out was near impossible. I somehow got the white plastic part to pop out with the stock relay to get it free (this took me like 30 mins?). And then it took some more time to just get that plastic thing out of the relay to put it in the replacement....ughhh. oh well...its done now and I'm glad I don't have to do it again...
Side Markers (194 Amber) -thanks biglilsteve


....next exterior LED mod: Audi Style DRLs

Continuing on with the Great LED Swap...
I started to get to work on the interior, but just the easy stuff for now
Map Lights:

EDIT

Dome Light:

Hatch Light:

It looks so different in the car now! It's a little weird at first, but that's just because I need to get used to it. It is a lot brighter and looks cleaner. Also when I unlock the car at night it looks really cool!
...next interior LED mods: Gauge Cluster, Clock Display, HVAC, Shifter, and Glove Box

they are LEDs now....but do u mean why amber?
i personally like amber
but mainly because i'm going to do the audi drls soon. i wanted something to contrast all of the cool white i'm going to have in front (headlights/HB/and Audi DRLs).

dome/hatch: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...on_3022-xx.htm
dome is a x9 led and the hatch is a x4
motherf*cker.....i hate that relay with a passion.....
Just to throw in my two cents...
For front map light, I used:
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/12-LED-Inte...anel_sku53.htm
For dome light, I used:
http://www.oznium.com/thin-led-domelight (5 x 1.5 size)
I figured I use a panel since the dome light area is so big yet the festoon tube bulb is so small.. using a festoon tube bulb just doesn't look right...

thanks vaxc3...i was actually debating on those. jtk2 suggest them to me also
but i actually had left over 194s for the map and decided to just do the regular festoon to stay consistent
