Which chrome piece are you talking about? The only chrome I see is the one covering the license plate bulbs/housing. Both the reverse light housing AND the turn signal housing are both pink. You'd need completely new lights to get rid of the pink. Or you can get red vinyl and cover at least the turn signal so it'll completely be red?[/QUOTE]

Yea I tried those eBay links and they were no longer posted. This looked pretty close though

jeroplex, just search up the beginning parts of each led bulb.

Here's the vanity ones I got. I'm assuming its the same ones since its the same seller.

http://cgi.ebay.com/1pc-31mm-Vanity-...item2c5eac079c

I believe these were the most expensive to convert. All the other bulbs I got were cheaper. I got some from a ebay guy named metapark and another newcomdigi_us or newcomdigi_eu. I think I got my license plate bulbs from newcomdigi. Dome/map lights I got from metapark. Forgot which guy I got my courtesy/trunk LEDs from.

Speaking of bright, I found these on an Australian forum that someone was/might be installing them. Seems crazy lol.

I think people in Russia converted their tails to LEDs but I don't know if they ship to US. Someone found a Russian site that had a bunch of aftermarket lights. Forgot if it was Ed or KG...I'm thinking it was Ed...

which bulbs did you get? and I'm assuming that they look blue due to camera trick?

you should do a night pic to show how bright they are.

What setting do you pick for night shots? I tried taking some night shots of my interior and it was super blurry. Saw some other people's pics and they were also blurry...I have a regular P+S if that helps...

They are the kit from ijdmtoy. They look blue because I used my iPhone. To get it white you have to adjust the white balance on your camera. I'll try to get better pictures

I used whatever size I posted in the ebay link. I think it might've been 31mm. Like I said to Ed before, it might require some shifting to make sure the contact points are all in order but mine have stopped flickering once I set them in the right spots.

If it's the same as the 09 (don't see why they'd change the bulb) I used this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-19...item588f6e98b8

Works well. Loads brighter than the stock bulb.

heres a quick video of the interior lights. the lights came out blue on my camera becaused i white balanced the garage lights so it wont come out yellow which turned the interior car lights blue but they are clean white. this is just to give an idea of how bright it is. this is the kit from ijdmtoy.com

Interior lights, not so much. But they will make it look like u don't have tints at night when you unlock your car.

If you get the vanity/visor lights...then yes hahah they will blind you, your passengers and your dog.

The ebay ones I bought aren't as bright as the vleds but they're brighter than Killer's previous set. And they only cost me a dollar each. Not sure which ebay set Killer got before but here's mine. Apparently they raised the prices but if you search the title, you can find the same ones under 2 other ebay names...all the same people. newcomdigi_us, newcomdigi_eu and netmoto.

If i were you slick, i would cash out on v-leds except for the license plate lights, trust me when i say that generic white LEDs will be jarringly white for the interior, v-leds even more so

Lights look good except the first link won't be good for your trunk light. You need a flank LED bulb. Something like this:

Oh and the map/dome light I got from ebay had 6 smd's and not 4. They look like these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-pc-White-1...ht_4868wt_1163

Just make sure the length is 31mm. I believe the first couple of posts, the person bought 36mm ones and they didn't fit.
