IDK, My wife got them for me.

SO I got the light together. I had to wire it up good and open the hole more on the plastic key cover thing and put it all back together. Looks killer IMO.

Ill do the write up soon.

Now. While I was installing the key light ring thing, I redid my interior in black suede. The pink was starting to hurt my eyes.

Dont worry man here in lowsyana we have nowhere to hang out b/c of honda/acura ricers and there truck buddies throwing beer bottles underages getting wasted, racing down Ryan st. ghey but a lawyer who comes to the meets lets us go to his lot and hang. And we can kick f*** out.

Car looks good glad to see the swayed instead of some chicks panties in your interior.

+1 for write up on that mirror mod man.
