Ha ha...the oem were like the little kid's birthday cake candle by comparison.
I tried to take the oem pic without the flash for before and after but it would not come out.
Now I have to wait from my local part store to stock up the part in order for me to do the remaining two rear doors.
The trunk light will have to be replaced with something twice as bright.
I may order from Diode Dynamic this time.

I've always used tinypic for pics hosting and looks like it did not resize or does give the option for it.
And i was just being a lazy arse to resize it myself.
Next time though.

My local Autozone has 3 or 4 left, last time I was there, I'll pick them up on my way home

I use photoshop to resize my pics or Paint, then upload them to http://imgur.com/ - they have an option to edit pics as well i.....once uploaded, look at the right top corner.

As for the trunk - someone already installed that LED panel...I'm wondering how did that fit in there?

I just ordered two from Amazon according to the link you provided.
The part ordered comes with necessary kit to allow some degree of customization.
I also ordered the remaining two door bulbs from the same seller.
Will post results later this week when the parts arrived.

I got you goin' ...didn't I?

I wonder what'll be next after we are done with the lightning mod...ha ha!!!

videopho · Jun 1, 2014

LOL
That's true!
This car hopefully won't turn into another money pit like my coupe.
I actually was hoping to get the intake/cbe soon then the tune for this car.
But that has now become clear to me that aftermarket vendors are not too keen on car like ours and start investing R&D money knowing the return is almost next to nothing.

Has anyone on here done reverse LED on his ride?
I found this but not sure it's something worth buying .

Alright.... I just got home from the trip and started messing with those LED's

I know those in the trunk (3175) aren't too bright, so I'm gonna remove them and replace with 168/ - which are for the license plate.

They are longer, about 36mm, but if you bend the metal brackets out a little, with some elbow grease, the bulbs will fit in.

And the one from the trunk will go into the glove compartment.

The trunk is brighter already

Damn you, Dareck. Back to autozone...

videopho · Jun 5, 2014

How strange!

I was doing the same thing Derek was this evening, well almost.

I got my order from Amazon for the trunk and the remaining two courtesy doors from the mail today.
So the trunk now got the new light and the one that was there went to the Glove box.

The new part for the the trunk.

[/IMG]my phone camera?
The trunk looks cool white in person but not sure why it had that blue-ish look with my phone camera?

I believe you, I know those pictures don't do justice...you just need to see them in person.

I'm pretty happy with the outcome though

oh! what about vanity lights? are you guys going to change them too?

videopho · Jun 5, 2014

Got a little late for that due to the NBA final tonight so tomorrow I need to figure out what goes to the vanity mirror light.
Unless someone can chime me in on that which will be greatly appreciated.

videopho · Jun 6, 2014

Just pulled trigger for the reverse backup from precisionled.com
Will post before and after pic when installed.

dareckibmw · Jun 7, 2014

I just thought I'd share some pics of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ladies instead of LED light

- Emma
- Diva
- Luna
- Layla
- Mona

enjoy

Did you get the K&N and installed and how much ?
A small review would be helpful.
Cute dogs, BTW.

Why would you say that?

dareckibmw · Jun 7, 2014

Ok....this is very easy job, takes less then 10 min.

Air Filter cost @54.99 + tax (almost same price amazon has on them)

- remove 2 fasteners (pics 3-5) on filter assembly
- lift the housing
- remove the air filter
- insert new K&N air filter into the assembly
- reattached the housing
- clip the fasteners back on

.....and don't forget to put the sticker ON! without it, your car won't be faster ......... mine already is

videopho · Jun 7, 2014

Nice.
Keep us posted how the car runs if any difference.
And BTW, go to my debadging thread at the Detailing forum and vote.

dareckibmw · Jun 7, 2014

Thanks bud!

I don't know if I can "see" any difference, it might be a few decibels louder. Probably no one would notice unless they were told.

Car seems to respond a little bit faster though. (maybe its just my imagination

)

I should stop reading your posts.

Mine is en route from Auto Anything.

Has any one tried the vanity mirror light yet?
I tried but chickened out myself afraid to break it.
