LED Lighting Done, Pillar to go... [pic]

LED lighting on 06 TSX PWP

received LED lightings from Tec_Toyz..good guy!
2 White Map LED
1 White Dome LED
2 door Blue 9-LED
2 White License Plate LEDs


License Plate LED was big in size, little stuck in the stock bulb housing, is this same for you guys too?
overall, looks all right







I Hate the "ricey" look....so chose White LEDs over Blues...
but...I didn't personally like the Interior White LEDs (Dome + Map Lights)

it looks all right at totally dark surroundings, but in practical use, it's bad....NOT bright AT ALL... compared to Stock yellow bulbs...



I like the Blue Door LEDs, bright enough.

havent decided what to get for the B Pillar...
My TSX is PWP, Which one do you recommand ? Carbon Fiber or Chrome ?

DON'T DO IT!!!!!

I made the mistake of putting those damn things on my car and boy do I regret
it. The fade after awhile and are a Biatch to get off. I scratched the real ones trying to get the carbon ones off. if you are really set on changing them get them
painted by a shop. I wasted my money and wouldn't think of doing it again.
In addition to fading they peel on the edges!

the few interior shots i have seen with hyperwhite leds from tectoyz looked really really bright. Did you get the 9LEDs? I have the full blue package and it is very ricey. I am about to hang a pair of chopsticks on my rearview mirror.

I used the 6LED bulbs in my license plate with no fitment issues.






Pics really don't do it justice.
