wow. u just did it today? isnt it freezing over there??
One thing I've noticed is that the LED's don't soft off (dim) exactly like the stock analog bulbs. Being LED's they naturally have a threshold voltage at which they no longer light so while they do dim somewhat before cutting off completely, they don't provide exactly the same soft-off feature the stock bulbs do. Having said that, I don't really miss it and much prefer the white lighting over the dim yellow stock bulbs.

Hi everyone,
I am leaving for vacation 2/1 and will be back on 2/8. If anyone wants to place an order, leave me a PM and when I get back, I'll get back to you. I have to leave NYC for the beautiful weather in Miami and Carribeans

Hey John.
Received and installed the interior LEDs! Looks awesome - what a worthwhile mod!
One slight problem: for the front and rear dome lights, did anyone else have problems getting the LED bulb back into the round portal? It seems as though the hole is slightly smaller in the middle dome light hole compared to the left and right map light holes. I can't get the dome LED bulb back into it's hole! I'm going to try trimming the outside of the two bulbs slightly to reduce the circumference to squeeze it in.
Any other ideas?
And do you guys have two lights in the trunk? I have one bulb extra... we poor Canadians didn't get rear door lights, front footwell lights, and only one trunk light!?!
Thanks again!

No.. don't dremel anything! Just take the plastic cover off and install it and it should plug in. Check bruce miranda's post for those footwell lights retrofit. It can be done and be made very nice!
