Default I finally did it, but now, I need some help!

Hey, Earlier I couldnt decide between the z4 and the crossfire, well I ended up getting the crossfire, and I have no regrets...

I just need to get one order of business completed.

I would like the following upgrades in my car, and need all the help I can possibly get.

Before I start, Let me tell you guys I did alot of research and search. I just need some addition help.

I would like to convert my completely stock crossfire to have the following:

Hid headlights(bluish white preffered)
Red illumination inside(glovebox, and all)
License plate led's


Thats about all I would like..

If someone can give me a cost estimate, if I did all of it myself.

THANKS!!!!!

Haha, sorry for the lack of details..

Its a 2006 limited roadster black exterior with red interior, auto transmission.

I got it with 22k miles on it. I absolutely love the car in my driveway...I cant stop staring at it.

Did you wash and wax it yet?. Silly question. You most likely did that after you got home from buying supplies.

Did I wash it? haha..I made the dealer wash every nook and cranny, then when I brought it home, my dad helped me wax every little detail. If I had a pin big enough, I would nail the car to my wall..

I just feel HID's and a red LED interior would be amazing in this car.

I cant believe I even considered the z4...god this car eats it alive.

thanks for that post. I saw those numbers, and it didnt make sense to me becuase Im not familiar with leds..

Basically, i have been reading about those transistor things that protect the led's from getting too much electricty..

So basically, is it as easy as but, take apart the stock, install the led, and put together? I dont want the light in the dash to come on either...

Leds doesn't need anything else. Works perfectly, only thing is the advice light stays on ONLY when used. Get the exterior lights too. You won't regret. Reverse lights are other story.
