The canbus reverse LEDs shouldn't need the resistor since they already have a resistor on them. White of course for color.

I noticed afterwards that they call it a tail light resistor kit.. Perhaps if one would use it with the brake lights it may help with the light out indicator for the brake light??

Of course it'll help, but I only placed a resistor on the reverse lights for my car so they don't dimly glow since they don't have the canbus resistor built in.

I found the lights for the glove box and trunk lights too dim.
The glove box light I used had all the LEDs on one face and I think there are 9 of them, there is a heat sink on the back. This could be used for the trunk light I guess as there is no reflector in that fitting and a lot of light gets wasted lighting up the area behind the trunk paneling. I'll check that these out some time and see how they are doing.
The map light looks like a small flashlight and all the light is focused down, it is 3W. I hope they'll last some time.

I fitted two LED fixtures in the trunk which are similar to the LED license plate fixtures. I replaced the OEM fixture and added another.

I fitted the license plate LED fixtures in my footwells, I cut out holes and they look good.

This combination of lights gives meaning to the phrase - SHOW TIME.

ala_xfire if thats the case 80 is a steal! haha but no, after a google search i didnt see any of their products matching ours, although its never out of the realm of possiblity, being that we manufacture in china,products are constantly being stolen, and casings are constantly being re used , its sadly the nature of the beast, that being said i will stand behind all of our hids with a lifetime warranty where as you wont get that anywhere else

I recommend falshami's stuff as an option if the Morimoto TRS items are a bit too pricey for folks in general. Since he has a lifetime warranty, it could be a great alternative. Now mind you, I have not used his stuff myself as my Moto kit is running with no issues for 2 years now. Discuss with him if you have questions about them.

That would be up to you honestly, as there's plenty of people to choose from around here that use HIDs now. Just a couple of years ago HIDs weren't really that popular for our car, but now they are seeing the light :P

If you are giving a set away, I'll jump in before mrmiata has a chance.
I'll take a set of 9006's for the fogs, already have Mori's in the lows with 2 spare sets of bulbs.
If you have 4700K that would be nice.

lowest i usually carry is 5000 as the 4300 might look a bit odd in the fogs, but i can get them in , i was looking for a fair way to give them out but this may work as well, i need someone that will give a genuine review of them, also ive never done hids in our fogs, anyone know if they can handle the heat? i put in high power LEDS which rock

5000K is OK. Yes, the fogs can handle 35 watt HID's, a friend of mine has had them in for a few years now.

Thanks for you updated guide - great timing as I'm replacing the head lamps and was considering new bukbs. I saw your recommendations, but didn't see a update on head lamp bulbs. Which should I choose for my car to give it the LED look and will I need anything else aside from the bulb to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

You don't wanna use LED "bulbs" in your headlights whatsoever, unless you fancy blinding people and having extremely crappy output overall. Get yourself an HID kit from the above mentioned companies.
