hahaha yep. They came out bluish and super orangeish because of the lighting of the parking garage and the settings on my camera. Pretty cool though eh?

Everybody, I just wanted to take the time out to wish all my customers and freinds a very Happy Thanksgiving. Spend time with your family and eat eat and eat. Just so you all know I will be out of town from 11/22-11/26 Any Race Pedals or Door sill orders that are placed between now and then will ship on 11/27. Quanity is getting low on all sets offered on Pedals and Sills, So put your order in if you are intrested in either. Also any orders that have been placed up to today have all been shipped. I will be checking my PM box thru the long weekend feel free to e-mail me any questions.

Thanks Everybody and Enjoy the Holiday!!!
Dave

Another Update - Close-up of Sideways Shots

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been away from this thread for a while. I finally found some time to take some more close-up sideway shots. I turned on the flash so it'd make the sills and distinctions easier to see.

Hope these help.

Hey rimz, I'm looking for the same exact setup for my car as far as those 9led white lights. Where did you purchase them? and How long have they lasted without blowing?

The most popular spots that people are buying their 9LEDs from are from either Tec-Toyz or from superbrightleds.com. I've used both and both are great. I would say go with either and you'll have no problem

Hey rimz,

Did you get these leds from tec-toys for your domes and door lights? I just received my 9leds I ordered from tec-toys. I don't know if its me or I am just installing them incorrectly but they seem to be more dim than my stock bulbs. Your photo seems really bright. Are they are lot brighter then stock?

As far as installation, do I need to do anything beyond just switching out the bulbs?

yeah, all my interior lights and the license plate lights are 9LED lights from tec-toyz...i'm not a 'lighting expert', but i don't think they're brighter, but they do illuminate better than the stock ones....if that makes sense... they give off that sweet look where you can see more when they're on but don't blind you when they're on, if that helps...

as far as installation, just take off the covers for the lights, take out the old, put in the new...just be patient when removing the old lights...i was switching out the map (front) lights first and the very first one i was replacing broke on me while still in the socket...so i cut a potato in half and tried to remove the broken piece, but no luck...so i used a tissue and it finally came out all together and not in pieces, thank God....i think the potato had loosened it...after that, no problem replacing the other ones...

warrior15r, mine are probably as bright as yours...that photo can be a little misleading...i took it with my digital camera and it probably enhanced the lighting a little bit...it tends to make pictures in the dark seem like daytime sometimes...i wouldn't worry about yours not being as bright or anything...judging from your picture, mine look just like that...

well, if you have red seats like the '07 Type S, then i would say red sills...unless you already have white LED lights for the interior, then i would say white sills....
