I didn't see a small metal rod on the freeway at night and got a door ding because of it. *cries*

And now, time to find a body shop....

Bought a full @DiodeDynamics interior LED replacement kit about a month ago and finally got started around dusk doing my first swaps.

Got the license plate and trunk LEDs swapped in. Gonna have to do dome, vanities, and courtesies later.

I'm having a ton of trouble getting the dome light cover off, though :\

Passed some much more expensive cars.

Instead of taking just the clear plastic part off, take the whole assembly off and change the bulb from the back. Makes it a million times easier.

Think I'll try that tomorrow! Thanks. If only I hadn't already screwed up the two small openings a little :\

Nothing special, I wanted 245/45R17 for daily but no one ran it stock all around, and I didn't wanna risk rub since I don't plan on doing any suspension work for another month minimum and I DD alot.

Got the dome light swapped! Fortunately was able to just get the plastic casing off, though the two little slots are a little extra worn now :\.

So I got an SMD12 from Diode Dynamics and now I kinda wish I'd gotten two slightly smaller boards to make the lighting symmetric since I couldn't mount it in the center.

But I just checked it out in about 85% darkness and it lights up the cabin really well now:

I impulse bought Valentis and I can't tell if I like them more than my stock 2017 tails. What do y'all think

I've personally never liked those Valenti's...
The only ones I'd swap my 2017 tails for are the new sequential Valenti's.

Definitely the 2017's unless you're really going for a specific look.
