Ok One last question. How do get to the license plate lights? I recently when to Super Autobacs and purchased the bulbs ($9 for matrix single bulb kit and $25 for a premium set with 6 bulbs) and am not sure how to install them, do you go in through the back underneath the carpet? As always any info is much apreciated. Thanks

SoCal Cyco: Yes you have to remove just apart of the trunk lining. There are these little plastic screws you can take out with a flathead. Just take off the ones that will allow you to peel back the lining a bit to get to them. After that, it's a bayonet twist type to get to the bulb.

Oh and those lil clips are a big B*#ch to pull out so dont get discouraged if you have a hard time you just gotta put a lil muscle into it and pull straight out and they will come off... by the way if any one wants the l.e.d.'s that I used here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/194-1...6853QQtcZphoto ---These are the same brand as my hid's and everything works great I actually have 3 pairs of these 1 in the high beam housing, 1 in my clear corners, and 1 in my license plate and they are really freakin bright...

Bumper is Mode Parfume and lights are probably Sonar. You can get the latter from www.l-tunedparts.com

You need 194 bulbs. I got these for mine and they are very bright. Just a little spread of light off the bumper onto the floor, but it does its job.

Thank you very much for the fitting numbers! You made it simple
