hey how did u mount those Map lights into the housing? i got the same ones and it wont fit like how u did yours.
also, i got the city lights too and one is more blue and one is more purple. do u think its defective?
one more question: those leds that go into the city lights are only one way connection right? (as in + and -)
my drivers side is able to reverse and work but my passenger isnt. did that happen to you?

I also have the same set up for the HID low / Fog lights. I have the same MTEC HID kits that I sell and I have to be honest its a HUGE difference at night.
I have been thinking of adding an HID kit to the High Beams also, since I do a lot of night driving from Miami to Orlando.

I got my high beam HID kit from V-LED.com link that you had posted and they did not work out. I think it is either the bulb or the ballasts. I have sent an email regarding this issue to V-LED customer service. We'll see what kind of customer satisfaction they have.
Did you have any issues installing the High Beams?

ok jackson i have been doing my lights bit by bit and either V-LED changed the part # for the dome light you have or you linked the wrong one...
if you look at the part # you link to...
your bulb in your pic has 20 LEDS as does the one you link to...BUT your bulb (in the pic) looking at it from point to point has 4 rows of 5 leds (left to right) the one your link goes to looking at it from point to point it has 5 rows of 4 leds (left to right) ALSO....our oem bulb is 32 mm long....the one you linked to is 42 mm long....i know all this cause i bought them from your part #'s....
i THINK this is the one you actually used jackson

this one will fit also
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p5767433.html
i will be ordering it today and see if they will credit me for other...
oh when you ordered yours did you get any that didn't work? i know you can plug them up and flip them around if they don't work but out of 24 bulbs i have had 2 not work. not really a big deal as they sent me the first one free and im gonna let them know bout this one and hopefully they will take care of it.
ALSO i have to get the part # but all 2001 + use a different reverse bulb then yours...and i will try and get you a new part # if you wanna update your post...if not that's cool too. either way glad u did this, im ALMOST done with all of mine. i have decided to do some foot lights, like you did, can i make a quick disconnect like you did or can i but some from someplace?
dont get me wrong, im not complaining. im hoping this will help further help anyone doing this mod...

as sam said...with the right bulb they are all plug and play. i updated jacksons thread with the RIGHT dome light as he isnt answering pm's or updating this and the right reverse bulb for the 2001 is any 921 led or this page...the one he listed wont work on the 2001+ models..

Hey, sorry I'm so late to this thread, but I do have a couple of questions.
1) How did you manage to fit these huge "start" bulbs into your housing?
2) Wouldn't it be a better idea to get white leds for brakes, since they are brighter? Since the brake housing is red anyways, the light output would've still been red, but much brighter?
