The fogs are pretty expensive, but think of it this way. Your only doing it once, and the new bulbs from vled have built in resistors. So they shouldn't burn out.

Yes vled carries red, Footman has the whole red light district theme going on.

Just look up leds on the search and see what others have done. Its really simple. Learn from mistakes of others. As always I'm here to help. You can always just copy my setup for the interior, and go different for the exterior. My goal is clean white interior, and clean matching fogs and headlights, white with a tint of blue..

Same as you except I want to go with blue interior LED's.

How long will it take to install all of this and do we need certain tools to get it done?

doing the HIDs over there will be a time consuming affair, espcially if there are more than one. some of these HID kits need to be rewired slightly to work on certain vehicles. i know this from experience. its not a big deal, but it takes time. also, you'll need to remove the front bumper to do it all the right way. there is a perfect spot for the ballast to site right under the headlight (think the factory ballast sits here normally, i dont know because i dont have HIDs on mine, just a space) the other bulbs shouldnt be any big deal at all.

jay, i have my own way of researchign stuff. I like to take my time and really check everything out. i dont want to just look at pics of peoples cars and say "i like that, ill copy it". i like to make up my mind on my own and try my own stuff (but i also learn from others mistakes and read into what doesnt work). also, i feel to rushed to join in on your group buy. looks like i'll just have to suck it up and pay for shipping and duties when i decide to do my lighting. the interior stuff doesnt interest me. i dont often have interior lights on in my car so i dont want to spend any money on them.

HIDs would be the only ones that take time, and some time for the interior.

Here's the pic, it's blue, but love the look! Oh and think it would look best on a silver or the gunmetal. Just my two cents.

Took me long enough to find the freakin guy lol.

Fair enough, Thunder, all we're doing is bulb swaps, since most of us have factory hids. All you do is pull the front fender liner back.

I can push the deadline to the monday of the week of April. I doubt it will take 2 weeks for them to deliver leds to the shop.

Interior lights are so easy to do...
Clear corners also easy to do...
Front parking light and high beams also easy to do (but more challenging and will require thin small asian hands)....

Essentially we are looking at a deadline of next week, Wed.

If you already know what you want, just list it.

UPDATE
Clear Corners, have a deal in the works, so dont worry about them.
I want all lol... if you install them.. How much do they cost? Not sure on the colors yet.... Interior probably blue. Exterior white...

Footman: Do you have pics of your all red theme? I have blue and reds that look awesome together. Blues under the passenger and driver seat and red footwells... Time to do my other lights now...

Will these fit on our car: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...-p6283693.html I want red! I want my fogs done forsure also...

yes, I'll send both of you pics of my red interior. I'm re-doing mine in April though. I found the ones I have now are not bright enough so I'm moving up to full SMT-LED technology as opposed to regular LEDs...

If you like subtle-ness and don't care for "readibility", then the setup I have is enough for you.

If you want to look like the red-light district in Amsterdam, which is what I'm going for... go with the SMT-LEDs when you choose your items.
