Interior LED conversion 99% complete

Just some quick crappy shots of my interior LED conversion. I realized after i got them in the mail that i ordered the wrong size for the glove box and arm rest, but everything else is done...tell me what you think. Dont judge on the crappy photos though..

for the map lights and vanity lights.

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p5168709.html

for the license plate lights.

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481133.html

For the door lights and the back seat lights..i think i used one of these in the trunk too. not the greatest selection but very bright. i should have went with the flat 6 led on the trunk but whatever.

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481039.html

just ordered these for the glove box and armrest.

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...-p6298403.html

and then these for my foglights...hope they look good.

I think all the dash lights, radio lights, steering wheel lights, & window switch lights account for a bit more then 1%

ok well if you want to be technical about it then!!! i like all those lights red and why bother changing them, they already look good. So i would say that the easy lights to change to LED is 99%...

Did you do the reverse lights also? I got these: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/B...35716-1-2.html

They're not as bright as the stock halogen bulbs, but the color is nice. I'll probably upgrade them soon.

I also did the glove box/console lights in red instead of the 6k white. It matches the floor/dash lights nicely.

its real easy, for the trunk just use a flat screwdriver and pop it out from the passenger side of the plastic piece. just be careful because the little clip holding it in breaks really easy, i just bent mine back a little bit and then bent it forward when i reinstalled it. For the license plate lights, you just have to take off the upper trunk cover, just look for all the little plastic screws holding it in and then the little handle on the passenger side has a screw inside of it. the bulbs are a little pain in the ass to get out but just look at it and you should figure it out.. it took me ten minutes to get the bulbs changed out after i took off the cover..

Well i just bit the bullet and bought the Phillips 85122+ bulbs and the ZKW-R lense from www.theretrofitsource.com, dont know when ill get to install this because im currently in Flight School in the Army, but ill get around to it..

85122+ bulbs: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=148

ZKW-R lenses: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=136

Thanks Steven,

They are bright, but not to the point of annoying. Im hoping my 3K fogs and 85122+ bulbs with zkw-r is annoying....to other people that is.

well i stated in about the 3rd post because in reality i only changed the easy bulbs to LED..so that was the 99% i was referring to. I dont have a need to change any of the other bulbs just yet...lol sorry for the confusion.
