You can get that tow hook from microimageonline.com, but its not rated for towing, just for looks.

I don't think those are HID's, i think they're parking light LED's.

and 2 weeks? and you still have the dealer paper in the passenger back window? LOL

no actually the dealer papers are in the glove box. LOL the car actually didn't even make it to the sales lot, I bought it literally after the dealership just got it.
Cant wait for my plates to come in so I'm able to then order custom ones for it

And they are the parking lights I added the LEDs to. I really hate stock look, was a cheap quick change out. Did the same for the dome lights and lic plate lights.

Not sure yet what color I want to put in for HIDs. (6000 or 8000) It will have to match the fog lights otherwise it will just look strange.

i swapped entire car of incandescent lights with LED's. starting from the front... parking, turns, side markers, map, dome, cargo, tail/brake, turn, back-up, license plate. Everything is LED. not one incandescent bulb left on my car.

how much did it run to do that i have been lookin into it heard it makes a huge difference and everything seems to run smoother because they only use half the energy and are they alot brighter or do they seem about the same?

It depends on where you get your LEDs from and the type you get as far as cost goes. They last MUCH longer then the standard ones and are pretty bright. But again brightness can also depend on what you want to do, you can usually find the color of the bulb (i.e. red/red your whites and your ambers) Since the actual lenses on the car are red for the tails then you could use a white (probably whats in there anyways, just haven't looked yet). You can find the lights with different amounts of LEDs in them, different designs as far as manufactures. I'd try ebay. Deff switch it over, you'll like it better.

I had cool white LED's in the back-up's until i noticed they're too hard to see in the daylight. so I switched them to warm white, they look like regular incandescent bulb color.

I bought ebay LED's for the parking lights. and the more expensive $27 a pair for the turning signals (front and back). my red tail/brake LED's are red 32 LED tower SMT lights. the turns are amber 27 LED tower SMT lights. (both tails and turns from ebay) the back-up lights are 15 LED tower SMT warm white from superbrightLED's. the cargo light I got from garage 1217 on here. the dome light is a 16 LED white (bright as all hell!). license plate and dome lights are the exact same lights. 4 LED white size 168. the ground behind my car from those ones lights up bright!!!


heads up on the turn signals. you're gonna have to get the 4 LED turn signal controller. otherwise you'll be living with rapid flash for turn signals. you can pick one up here. http://www.v-leds.com/BlinkerWarning...81146-1-3.html

that website is where i got the 16 LED dome light. it BARELY fit into the casing. i had to pinch the sides a bit (the metal ends).

i'd say my total of everything was a little over $100. maybe near $125... but totally worth it.

yeah that sounds good my problem is i used niteshade on my tail lights and the light comes through fine at night but is a little hard to see during the day and was wondering how much brighter this is going to be or if i should just buy new tails and tint them. my friend tinted his instead of spraying and the light comes through way better and is a little cleaner looking.

Nightshade works decent for at night and thats about it. I did the nightshade on a friends car, too hard to see during the day.

Im trying to find someone that will tint/ smoke my tail lights for me.
