Interior Shots:

Night Shot showing my modified footwell lighting and self-made ambient white lighting in the map pockets








The New VGA Hi-Res Navi Display which i Love




The new metallic finish trim for 11




My "Warm White" LED Map Lights. They are about the color of OEM White Map lights in Lexus and higher end Acuras. I like them. They are a true white, no yellow or blue in them.

i noticed that too ed, technically, they were always green, but this might be a brighter green led they are now using, OR it could appear hyper bright because of his low exposure setting or something (not a photography master)

i tapped into the illumination wire from the VSA button and ran the wires to the map pockets. i then wired up a set of white leds i had from my G37 on the wires.

it is the ambient lighting kit from my G37. you could use any single LED though. i chose them because they are designed to disperse the light so that i dont get the spotlight effect in my map pockets. i have ordered some amber lights (the same as in the glove box) and will try them next week to see how i like them.

+1 on the scratches..I was gonna ask if anyone knew of a way to protect the finish or fix the scratches? They're more like scuff marks...
