Picked up car on July 25 @ 6pm. Pics are from July 26 @ 9am (Taken Canon SD1000)


Car on homemade ramps being prepared to have LED taillights installed. Easier to get towards screws/bumper. Took me 4 hours to change the outer taillights because I shaved some plastic to make it fit better. I drove around with stock lights on trunk and outer leds for 2 days. I couldnt get a piece of plastic off on trunk lights and decided to break it and order new parts.




1 week later...35% Solargard tints, LED taillights installed, WeatherTech wind deflectors and a few other minor interior cosmetic changes. (Taken with Nikon D70s)





Custom KUSHNECK™ Neckrest Pillow (made by my aunt). The most comfortable pillows you'll ever feel. Literally, it will make you fall asleep.


TRD Leather Shifter Knob (thanks Camry GT-R)..had it facing the wrong way in this pic..hehe


Nav w/Override Hybrid Disc (special thanks to mermejo for doing it for free and not charging $75 like some spammers/scammers), Broadway convex mirror, Valentine One Radar Detector on custom mount

[bandit]

New pics..got the LEDs installed. Also did the courtesy doors which you can see on one of the images. Didnt take pics of the rear reading light since I didnt change them at the time of taking pics.

Wires semi-zip-tied like my first cathodes to keep the wires clean and just making sure it works. This is my second time soldering.


The wedge plug base


Wedge plug in the socket.


TADA! It works! On the carpet is the 194 6-LED bulb (same bulb I use for my license plate lights and interior lights)

This shouldnt discourage you from posting. I couldnt have done all this without the help from forum users.

Post yours up! There might be something you did that I havent done yet that will probably give me motivation to do it and I hope others such as myself will give you motivation as well.

I'm in the process of thinking of a way to mount my Valentine One Concealed Display. Was thinking of putting it right between the HVAC controls and the little cubby.

I like the LED license plate lights... easily one of the best aesthetic mods anyone can do to their car.

Here is a pic of the cathodes on a 2003 Honda Accord. Its literally plug and play and works with any car that uses 194 bulbs. Not fully installed since my gf got into a car accident and the back needs to be fixed.

See my cardomain page for list of LEDs I used.

I dont know if there is a DIY but its simple...remove clips from trunk lining and you can get access to the bulb.

Dude, you are probably the only one on this Gen5&6 forum that actually started modding before your car arrived from the dealership.
Looking good!
