HELLO
Because of this forum I started modding...SO THANK YOU

This weekend I installed 6000k HID fogs and some interior leds + RDash license plate leds. (thanks brabusw209amg )

Those HID fogs are awesome...
I really like the OEM interior lighting so I only changed the rear underdoor lights and the trunk lights to leds.

I?m happy with the outcome of those underdoor leds. IMO the front doesn?t need anything more than those mirror puddle lights already existing
Sorry about the picture quality.

And then some minor thing i did...
We have a lot of insects around here and because I?m driving a lot I decided to cover the radiator & the aftercooler with the stainless steel net.
Here its brand new and still clean...

With this it stays like that

The net is barely visible with the grills on...you need to get very close to see it.

Next mods will be done after the winter.

Excellent Mika!

Those lights look great and I'm glad you also shared some pics of that net you put down there .
I have to upgrade the interior LEDs and license plate LEDs when I get back from Vierum?ki. And then we'll take some photos!

The 6000K and R-dash make so much difference as do the interior lights.

Looks great

Smart idea with the under-door lights. Do they give a lot more light around the car than the standard ones?

Those rear under door leds are a bit brighter, but that 9SMD led at the trunk lid is bright . Gives much more light combined with those two leds at the trunk sidepanels.
