New Lights and some CF Wrap goodness

Major shoutout to Michael at AznOptics. He was extremely patient in answering all my questions and helping me work through some issues I was having with one of the Plasma LED Fogs. Basically the Resistor on one of them had a bad connection inside and after taking it apart i was able to re-solder it and it's been working great now for over a week. He was more than willing to swap them out for me with HID's but since I got them to work, I'm sticking with them for now!

Plasma LED Fogs, 5000K D1S HID replacement, LED Brows, Reverse, & Lic Plate lights. Also decided to wrap my center console, shifter bezel, ashtray door, and Climate surround in CF Wrap. The cup-holder was the worst part as it was scratched and looked horrible. I will tackle the doors over the next couple of weeks as I have time. Wrap is not the greatest ($20 at PepBoys) but I figured if I didn't like it, I wasn't out much $. I may spend the money for a decent wrap like some 3M Di-Noc and re-do it later on down the road, especially since I didn't pay close enough attention and the weave is not going the same direction.

Anyways, just thought I'd share, and feedback is welcome! Those reverse lights are a pain to try and get in a picture!

Holy crap those look really bright. It literally hurt my eyes when I looked at your pics, lol.

Looks good though

haha, thanks! looks brighter than it really is. Honestly, the LED don't have the light output of even a Halogen bulb, I did it more for the aesthetic look since I hated the way the halogens looked in the fog housings. They are not very effective as a fog, but I was aware of that going in and OK with it as the HID alone are more than enough for 99% of the time I'm driving at night.

It's just really hard to capture the light with my phone camera.

Good job.

Yes, the color match is almost spot on, I was pretty happy with that.

Thanks!

Lights are bright but look great! I have the reverse lights as well, they really make a difference.
