Hey guys, here is the LED package that I was talking about (I went with the brightest interior dome light (although they have less intense dome lights)):

The 15 LED dome light seems crazy bright in the beginning (don't look straight at the panel while installing (it is like looking into the sun)), but, I definitely have come to appreciate the 60% added brightness. The reverse lights were the only lights that were hard to install because there is limited space to fit your hands between the muffler and the rear bumper where the light sockets are.

Well now that you're an experienced installer should take you half the time to do mine

Let me know when you get them in. I don't mind giving a hand (my wee baby hands seem to fit). I will take payment in scotch or beer.

Thanks. I like firestorm color too, but was convinced to pick asphalt--more cop friendly.

Spotted late last night a (probably) dark blue FRS last night on the 401 west around the Guelph area. Didn't even see it pass me initially but I caught up to it at the construction zone. Looked over a few times, nothing from the driver. Odd that I've seen more in the wild out this area than in the GTA.

If I commit a fr-s, I would like to use it as intended, mildly not crazily, in such a place.

Nope, wasn't me. Although I was thinking of going home at lunch and I sometimes drive through that intersection along Northfield.

Speaking of, I actually saw @thorlius last week going to (and from, haha) the BB buildings at the Northfield campus. Which was odd because on my way there along Northfield near the McDs, I saw another firestorm (heading west) which I originally thought was thorlius.
