If so then the fronts are 7440 leds just light the backs. I think I am going to go amber LEDs turn signals for the rear and white or amber led turn signals for the front...
I am even going to swap out the D4S HID bulbs for these in 6000k:

Because you know since I got WRB I got to have a tinge of blue in my HID lights.
Well, that sounds nice. Let me know how it turns out.
I'm thinking about swapping the back up lights and even maybe turning my red reflector into a rear fog light. There are some vendors on the forums that sell 'led kits' which saves you from getting them all separately, but to be honest, I think they're a bit pricey in my opinion. I spent 10 bucks for interior, LP and trunk and I have some spares.

For turn signals, you'll need to get a relay, so they don't flash super fast.

DRLs (bottom LEDs) only turn on during the day, when your E- brake is off (MT... I don't know for AT). I, sometimes, switch my lights from auto to parking lights only so the DRLs and the halos are on. Looks pretty sick.

Hope that answered some questions.

Perrin has been in the pulley game for quite a while. He is pretty well respected in the Subaru and Mini communities. I'm currently trying to convince my wife to get a lightweight overdrive pulley he makes for the coopers(never mind that it overdrives the supercharger).

Sucks that the DRLs only work in the Day...I guess thats why they call them Daytime Running Lights? LOL!

Here is what else I ordered a bunch of LEDs!
From Diode Dynamics:
Front: STAGE 2 LED turn signal lights in Amber


CF18 Flasher Relay

Rear: Stage 2 LED turn Signal lights in Amber



Automation LED:
INTERIOR LED PACKAGE KIT: PACKAGE 2
Added:
DOOR STEP LIGHTS
LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS
CREE REVERSE LIGHTS
VISOR VANITY LIGHTS


All that is left are the fog lights, trying to figure out what to replace the bulbs with....

Party time? Does it unload at you house or do you pick it up somewhere? Heck, with all the meetups lately some of us might show up to cheer you on and have a photoshoot...especially a pic of your big grin like most of us had when we took delivery! :happy0180:
