I still have a few things planned like new tokico shocks and custom LED taillights in the works soon. I just finished the orange LED dash conversion last month.

ebay, i just bought a 50 pack of orange leds and ended up using around 20 total but i mustve messed up alot cause when i finished i only had a few spares left lol. oh yea i had to do it twice cause first time there was a lil problem with wiring. if you wanna do leds, i would stay away from the ones that are not "real" meaning they use some kind of filter or coating inside the led to give it color. like white leds use phosphor coating that can make every led be a different shade of white and they have pink but the filters inside just burn off and youre left with a white led after a few hours. stick with the actual colors red/orange/green/blue and maybe a few others. if you look into the tip, it should be all clear inside and no filters and stuff.

i shaved the plate with photoshop =) the dash leds were pretty hard actually since i took the time and mounted them right under the covers. hids are 3200 lumen output using 4300k osram d2s bulb and valeo dot fresnel lens (cutoff is pretty sharp for not being a clear lens). i still get some fogging unfortunately even though the headlamps are completely sealed all around. i think its just the temp changes cause it gets really cold here. fog usually disappears in an hour tho.
