no, but it is not nearly as scary as it sounds.

should crack your lights open and paint them - i would do red inside to match the car! then clear the amber stuff and what not!

I used different led mcd levels. Different resistors. Wrapped the wires different. I used hot glue instead on epoxy.

That's looks good Chris. I like that! Good job on the handles and the lights. I've been procrastinating also for the door handles. My max is white but don't want to use blue. I like the grille too. I saw one like that on ebay except it was black. Max is clean, keep it up!

You can get them at harbor frieght, or joanne fabrics. Hot glue gun. It worked great for securing the LEDs and wires, and it is clear! It is also water proof (so-far) and can easily be removed if you screw up.

Looks good.

Hey guys I am new here. Do most guys with non-hid headlights get PNP kits or swap for stock HID headlights?

For those who went the PNP route, how annoying is it to replace bulbs and ballasts when they go out? You have to take the bumper off and stuff.

They're wired into the step lights, therefor they come on when you open the door or hit the unlock button on your key fob.

Remember?

You've asked this question a few times in different threads.




Hit your unlock button, watch the lights dim off, thats what the LED's do.
