allright heres the pics i took in rush to get inside had a long day at work so didnt really take time to make them look nice

this is just the dome light installed and it serves my purpose well i wanted a brighter mood light to cruise with and it does just that while being just noticable outside the car so it is leagal to drive with inside the car it is great put blue window tint on the floor lights and waiting to see how it looks tonight

That looks very cool indeed - however just looked at the site and the postage to Australia is $85

Does it really cost so much to post a bunch of LEDs to Australia? Maybe they are sending them here by space shutte?

mmm methinks I need to try and get in contact with someone I know in the states. I will contact the store to see if they can move on the postage... ie it doesnt have to arrive here tomorrow

The back seats come in quite handy when you have to transport people you don't like very much.

It's not as much fun if they just ride with someone else.
