I decided to loosen in the wrong direction when I was loosening the lugnuts...

xtimxmayyx as for the Led foot wells, I went to www.ledunderbody.com and ordered the basic 2 piece starter kit along with an add-a-circuit. I tapped into the fuse under the driver side that deals with the tail lights. Rand the wires to under the center dash and snaked the lights out from there. It was actually a really easy process. Only reason it took me a while is because I wanted to completely hide the wires (They give you like 10 feet of wire! WAYYY too much). I can take pictures if you want me too, just let me know.

yea, in another thread i actually read about the starter kit and I was all ready to buy one. The only problem is Im not completely sure how to install it cause im not really an electrical guy, but if you can just show me some pics and make a really short DIY or step by step of how to do it, that would be great! thanks!

and you mentioned something about tapping to the taillights? I wanna tap add a circuit into the headlights so whenever I turn on the headlights, these will go on.

Well the fuse I went to is the tail light fuse that causes the tail lights to be on when the head lights are turned on. There isn't a "head light" fuse so to say. This is the closest we've got. But no worries, the lights are only on when the head lights are on. I'll post a DIY sometime today. But don't worry I was scared too. (I hate working with car electronics)


Edit: The DIY for the L.E.D.s foot well lights is up in the ICE and interior section.

Actually there are 4 headlight fuses in the engine compartment fuse box. They're the 4 on the very top left. All 10A

So yeah this is a small update but I finally got my sub hooked up in my car. I had it in my '07 but have just been to lazy to install it. I forgot how much I missed having bass in my car.

So I've been splurging a lot on my car lately. Here is my first up date. A pioneer 4400BH head unit installed by some really good guys in Winder, Ga. They were awesome enough to get the usb and mic hooked up like stock. He couldn't get the aux input to work but I'm okay with that because I have never used it.

Very nice setup so far. I have the same car. Black tc. I was looking into painting my calipers also, but never done that before. Did you take them off the rotors when u painted them? Or just tape around everything and just do it on the car? The color I have only came in "high heat metal paint". Says can be used on valve covers, heat shields, etc. Do you think this will work for calipers also? Or should I stick with caliper paint

Awesome! I hope that can be done with harnesses/included wiring. I'm looking to do this myself and dont want to cut/solder anything.

Great setup man!
