So I had time today to install her LED tails.

They look nice, but they would really look better if they had the dual indicator mod installed.

And I noticed there was a very nice big hole for the reverse bulb! Hmmmm???? HID reverse bulbs anyone?
I havn't located a place to mount the ballasts yet, but when it warms up, I will seriously look for one.
I've had HID reverse bulbs before, and they blow away any LED bulb for brightness.

Anyways for now, i've installed the LED's that Boricua SS suggested HERE. Out of the three sets of LED bulbs that I've tried, these are the brightest by far!

Here are the pics!

Next up is to install her new Halo Projector Headlamps!
