DON'T BUY THE EBAY ONES!

I bought those and installed them a few months ago and they were a pain in the ass. The screws they provide aren't long enough to go all the way through the pedal, therefore you have to find your own. The only ones I had that were long enough to get through the pedal were too big to fit though the hole on the new pedals, therefore I had to bore them out with a drill.

The biggest waste of 3 hours in my life.

Which pedal gave you issues? Or were they all? I know for the brake pedal I removed the rubber cover in order to make it work, which I think is the recommended method. Others have attached the metal cover to the rubber, filed down the bolt, and then just reattached the rubber over the pedal.

These are probably one of my favorite interior mods for sure!

The only one that didn't give me a hard time was the dead pedal. The screws/bolts for both the gas and brake pedals were too short. Even after removing the rubber from the brake pedal, they were still not the correct length.

I laughed a little here


But holy wow! These pedals are only $60 now? I think they were $100+ back in the day. You kids got it lucky!

I bought the interior light kit from them. It came with the LEDs for the mirror lights, door lights, and front and rear map lights. I still need to do the glove box, center console, and trunk.

I know there are definitely much brighter LEDs out there, so if that's what you are looking for, you might not be happy with these.

Personally, I don't understand why people want dome lights bright enough to do surgery under. I just wanted LEDs for the color, not to be brighter. I'm happy with them.
