Looks very nice man, I like it a lot!
Were your backup lights the cheapest ones on V-LED's? I've been looking into doing this for a long time, can't wait to do it myself!

That is awesome. Wish I had the nerve.

I was wondering if you remember what bulbs you used for the front parking lights and license plate lights, Looks good I want to try this on my 5.5 gen lol.

Man if you would be so kind it would be great.. I've never soldered anything but would like to learn how to do this in my car

This looks amazing. GREAT job man. Quick question, where did you mount all of these LEDs to? Did you have to drill holes in the circuit boards? I'm assuming they didn't just sit where the old bulbs did...

-I'm assuming you're talking about the window switch LEDs? If yes, I actually didn't do anything to the circuit boards. In the back, there aren't any circuit boards... you just take the switch apart (being extremely careful to keep it upright, as there are 2 ball bearings and 2 copper pieces inside. (you don't want to lose any of those, and if they fall out, you have to figure out how to put them back together... just be careful and keep it upright. I soldered in a 5mm blue LED in each of the back switches with a resistor in exactly the same place as the stock green LED. For the front window switches, there is a circuit board that snaps in to the black casing with the switches. I dremeled "channels" in the side of the black casing so the wiring would fit in and simply put pre-wired LEDs (that I had made) over top of each of the stock green SMT LEDs on the circuit board. I used 5mm LEDs for all, and used a dremel to flatten the end of the LED so as to get even light distribution. Note: I was extremely careful to make sure I had electrical tape covering any bare wires on my prewired LEDs, cuz if you don't do that, and the bare wire touches the circuit board it'll fry it and you'll have to buy a new switch...

I thought I was doing something when I put leds in my doors and dome....I got a long way to go.
