LED's - Little Things That Make A Huge Improvement Just completed an LED overhaul on the GXP recently. I figured I might as well do the interior lights, the back ups, the licence plate and the trunk to go with my HID low and fog lights, plus the LED tails on the outside.
I've done LEDs before, most recently on my C6 but for some reason it is much more striking on this car to me. It really transforms the car into something much more fresh, modern and exciting. Very appealing to the eye.
Here's a few pics...
Here's one of my recently added Inferno hood too for good measure...

LED 168/194 bulbs. AutoZone carries them on their shelves:

They are pricey (9.99ea) so it cost me 80 bucks to do my 6 interior lights and my 2 license plate bulbs. Totally transformed the interior, don't regret it for a second.
Want me to snap pics?
EDIT: I did anyway:
Can't get on of the license plate; only comes on when the car is running, and I'm on 4 jack stands with no Tires/Rotors. Don't really want to start it right now.

A co-workers buddy owns an import performance shop and sells the LEDs all the time. He's been using them for many years without any problems so I decided to give them a shot. All the inside bulbs are 194's while the trunk is a 912 and backup lights are 3057's. They are made by a company called Precision.

That was my initial thought too, but I have had a couple of friends ticketed for not having proper illumination on their back plate so I figured I might as well. I'm trying reverse psychology here since I've got nothing to hide. Maybe they won't bother me since I have decent lighting.
