Had two bulbs left over and realized it included license plate bulbs.
One small fitment issue with the dome light bulbs, the kit came with 4 of the bullet style bulbs, all the same size. The ones in the dome light are longer than what the kit came with, I bent the contact tab in just a bit and put the bulb in at a slight angle, it fit ok and makes solid contact. They are the correct size for the license plate though.
In short, it looks amazing. The xenon lights the aluminum trim up beautifully. Only thing I could pick at is that it doesn't light up the floorboards as well as the original bulbs, but its good enough and I wouldn't call it a complaint by any means.
Installation tips:
- The two panels for the front and rear reading lights pops entirely out, don't try to pry out the small lenses. Also, the main dome light is easier to pop out with the reading light panel out. I started with the dome light and then moved on to the front reading lights and realized it would have been easier getting the dome panel out doing it the other way around.
- The light fixtures for the 4 floorboard, 4 doors, and the glove box are all the same, some were easy to pop out and others hard. They pry out from one side and then slide out down and toward the popped out side.
- I did this at night because I'm impatient and just got my car back from the shop. I would recommend doing it during the day, leave your doors open until the lights time out, it gets annoying trying to pull hot bulbs. Instant gratification though, doing it at night.
I shot these all with the same white balance setting, it looks pretty much like the real deal color wise in the photos. Pardon the blur.
