So i went to put the under car l.e.ds on, and realized i diddnt have the patience to get under my car on a bunch of ice and drill 8-1/8" holes through 1/4" thick cold steel
instead, keeping in mind these "step lights" i purchased are to illuminate your footing outside the door i figured i would fit 2 pods to each armrests, one pointing toward the ground and one toward the passenger and hard wire to the light switch so they turn on when any doors open
[rear]
you can also see where i mounted the neons on the back of my seat, the chrome sets it off nice
[front]
I also re-installed my door speakers, as the old ones made cranking the windows difficult. the grills on these duals are much lower profile then the old jensens, although there not very loud speakers.
This is a pic of the ulta white fog lamps with the blue l.e.d lit up.. put these on a few weeks back, grill lights too
these things are bright!
silver pinstriping, havent decided if i like it yet... i went to the carwash and spent 10$ the day i took this picture and i went and got it dirty again :roll: i hate the winter

| yup thats rust, it isnt major... i got locked out once and had to use the old "coat hanger" teqnique :lol: it put chips in my weatherstripping and a little water got in there, so i replaced that and figured it'll last me till i get a new car. |

do you have LED light bulbs to replace the stock ones? That's what I put in my delta....plenty of blue light for me. Got them from:
http://superbrightleds.com/
And you can use Sylvania's site to find out the numbers.

Oh yea, the incandescent bulbs that are just painted with a blue film? Yea....those suck....the film/paint burns off...literally....it BURNS off. Mine didn't cause a fire, but they did get hot and started to just be yellow instead of blue.
LED bulbs is the way to go. I'm sure you'll be using some 194 bulbs, and I would recommned the multi-led bulbs for maximum brightness/light coverage.
