So I'm ordering my LEDs tomorrow from superbrightleds.com and I remember seeing something about the dome light and a ring that forms if you get the wrong light. I tried searching but couldn't find it. Could someone who did the light swap explain to me which LED I have to get so that no ring forms for the dome light. Thanks! Also, any linkage to the LEDs you got from superbrightleds.com would be greatly appreciated!

i didnt have an issue with service but they did take like 2 weeks to come. they said its not in their hands when they send it out to the post office, but mailing stuff usually takes about 3-4 days max...

Even the Post Office on off season should not take 2 weeks to make a delivery. My guess is that they do not have stock themselves and need to order the items and then drop ship.

I finally received my order...after two weeks. I replaced the door lights with the blue LEDs. Next, I am thinking about the dome light and map light with white LEDs, unless I can find a white with a tint of blue.

hm, anyone try getting the H11 fog lights from v-leds? I'm deciding on some new fog bulbs, would led fogs be as bright as other ones?

secondly, does anyone know how hard installation on the exterior leds, like front and back turning leds are?

FYI, it is in the manual. page 8-30 DIY section

cover the tip of the flat-head screwdriver with a piece of cloth and pry it out. It is so easy

The vanity mirror lights on the visor? If so, I ordered some through v-leds but they were slightly longer and didn't fit.

The coupon code is CLUBLEX. I used to have a Lexus so they hooked us up on the forums. It'll give you 10% off after everything. I haven't bought from them personally since I buy my LEDs on ebay from a supplier in hong kong, same quality. It is cheaper but the downside is it might take a while for shipping.

I bought all my LED lights from superbrightleds.com. The place is only a few minutes from my house so I placed an online order and picked up my order a few hours later. The cool white bulbs look amazing! They are bright and a relaxing white with a slight blue tint.

WLED-x6 LED in cool white for reverse lights, license plate lights, door lights, map lights, trunk light. So a total of 9.

3022-x4 LED in cool white for the rear interior light. Bought 1 total.

I did not replace the visor lights (do the visors even have lights? I have not even opened or used mine yet....). Nor did I replace the map light because I could not tell what type of bulb it had and was too lazy to take apart the glove box to find out. Might do both of those at another time.

KGNickl your coupe is amazing, I love how you've kept it so clean and simple nothing over the top. The skirts and fascia look awesome, im glad your decided to paint it all one color it looks really good with the rest of the car. Respect man, I gotta say my car will probably have the same look except in white and different rims....but in terms of cleaniness and painting the fascia. You have good taste.
