Your steering wheel is on the wrong side...

I have full LEDs in mine, it's so much more modern that way. Sucks you have to use can-bus for everything as the interior lights run all the time at night, but once it's all setup it's pretty ****ing cool.

Only thing that gets me is when i'm out racing late at night in the middle of nowhere, and I open the car to blinding light, it's a bit much.

hahahaha... we can blame Napolean for YOU guys having the steering on the wrong side! lol

The LEDs def look stunning. I changed the license plate lights yesterday, and they make a huge difference too. Just gotta do the indicators and fog lights and im sorted! The cheapest but most effective mod so far. lol

I do have an odd issue though, if I have Locator lights setting to ON, so side lights etc come on when I unlock the car and then start, I get the CANBUS error. However during the day or if locator lights settings to OFF then no error... so basically the car prefers that the engine is running before LED lights are turned on.
Not a big issue, just odd.
