You know we gotta see some pics Cheesy

I just got some LEDs for the interior in the mail today, but wanted to see the brake/turn/reverse LEDs in action before I ordered them, so I'm looking forward to know how they look Smiley

I dig the reverse light the most, so I'll probably order that & the license plate bulbs next... Smiley

Thanks for the pix and parts list, lvbitwiz. I was wondering if you needed to install any resistors to keep the bulb out indicators from acting up? Also, was there any reason why you didn't get the high output LED for the backup light?

Thanks again!

No resistors needed with the flasher unit. As I had said, the pics dont do it justice, that reverse light lit up my driveway, the camera autoexposed  :confused:

Here's a couple of pics that I took while I installed it just to give you an idea of what you're getting into if you DIY it. Keep in mind I followed the instructions provided **to the letter** , measured several times over and made plenty of tweaks to the templates until they were spot on. Measure twice cut one? nope, measure 500 times, centerpunch correctly and drill  shocked  Oh yeah, and drill stops are a must if you dont want to risk damaging anything

setting the templates



after centerpunch


ready to drill  shocked




and 'dry' fit after drilling





The instructions http://www.trdsparks.com/install/PT921-52081-XXinst.pdf  were very easy to follow and the templates werent plain ol paper, more like a printed mylar precut sheet. Most difficult part of the install was getting the templates set right, after that it's pretty much bolt/stick on

Where the hell do you install the flash unit?  I assume it's in the fuse panel but which one is it? Somebody please help, I hate the hyper blink.
