I changed all the bulbs from factory to LEDs. Front city lights are the hardest to find, but finally found H6W in 3watt Luxeon LED that I'm ordering from England as we speak. superled.co.uk or somthing like that.

Front and Rear turnsignals are now 7505 Luxeon LEDs, Taillights, back up lights, side markers (on bumper), Dome lights and other interior lights, glove box light, license plate lights. All light bulbs for around $250 or so, but I'm very happy as everything look intensely brighter than stock. by the way I changed the lights color according to the purpose, red LED for taillights, amber LEDs for turnsignals, white LEDs for dome, interiors, and city lights naturally.

you've got to see them in person as I can described how bright they are and pictures won't do justice.
