been wanting to do this stuff for a long time, finally got to most of it..still have a few things left, but heres what ive done so far:

finally got the piaa fogs wired in , ended up having to replace a brand new relay (grrr) , and i cut the piaa switch into the spare block out plate by the hazard button..still needs some finishing, but not bad..

I installed turning lights in the side larker side housings. I used parking light sockets i found at the salvage yard some time ago (isuzu even!) , drilled out the holes, notched them with my dremel and bingo, factory looking fit.

I installed one super hi output white LED
(with resistor) in each of the front lower turn signal housings,wired up to the parking lights. it gives them a cool amber glow. More than bright enough to do the job.
shows where i installed the led, there was already a chanel there, not sure what the original purpose of this was, but i used it..

those little super bright led's are awesome, awhile back i imported a box of them in white, red, and green..the white ones i put in the directional lights as marker lights , show allot brighter than i expected. i only put one in each side, and its nearly as bright as the the incandescant light bulb, gives it a shimery type glow. if i put three more in each one it would be extremely bright!
im going to use a few for the interior. ive already got a green one inset into the overhead console, which will be wired to the dash lights and project a soft glow onto the shift console itself, bently does this and its a really cool effect..not distracting at all (though they use a red one.)i think ill also put one in each footwell , and maybe a set in the back so when the rear door is opened they come on, theyre so small theyre easy to put just about anywhere...
