Default A few little changes.

So I finally came around to changing the puddle light underneath the mirror today, I did try to do it myself but eventually the guys ended up taking over. Along with changing my puddle lights, I also did 2 other small mod which turned out quite nice I must say =)

Kudos to Harry & Don at HD Autosalon.

After.


Before.


After (wrapped in matte/gloss black vinyl).

It's the 194 bulb. The light output isn't as bright as the stock one even those they are LED, I think its due to the darker color? Tried white ones and they were pretty bright.

I really like the side mirror look. Where did you get the wrap? Was it difficult to do?
