Yeah I just used the plastic box that the lights came in, cut out two appropriate shapes, and used them to cover the holes. I used hot glue to hold them in place and seal around the edges.

These are the ones I bought.

Regarding the water, the stock bulbs are behind two plastic lenses with a weather seal. You can't use them (unless you mod them) with the CCFL bulbs so you have to find a different way to seal up those holes, while letting the light out.
Myron, I'm not sure about the cold weather. It gets cold here, but not THAT cold.

^ I bought LEDs to do the license plate. I didn't find out about the CCFL until after I bought them of course. I still have yet to install them but I probably won't be doing it for a month or so. LEDs better hold up during our weather otherwise it's going to be a big pita

I haven't had any problems with cold weather with my CCFL. I live in Northern MN and they've worked with temps as low as -40 (F), even last night it being -10F. (-23C.) didn't have a problem. They do take a few seconds to fully warm up so don't be upset if they're not very bright when they first come on like I was.

Guys, you can buy white CCFL's from almost any computer site.

www.newegg.com
www.svc.com
www.frozencpu.com
www.performance-pcs.com
You get the idea... I used a kit from Xoxide and it turned out great.

I checked out frozenCPU and it costs $10.
On top of that, standard shipping costs 22 dollars to Canada, and it would take more than 2 weeks!
That's $32...
I paid $15 for mine, including shipping. Something like 10 dollars for the product and 5 to ship.
It arrived after a week, too.
If you're in the states, it's $10 for the product, and shipping is free.
Can't be beat by all_city!
