And some pics...

Maybe it is not so obvious from them, but the map light (driver side, 20 SMD 5050 LED panel) is very bright and strong comparing to stock light bulb. I think I will switch it to 9 SMD. Will see...
For comparison both are on. The color is very hard to present as cameras will pick up white balance. I defined it based on some off white light, but still - it is not perfect.

License plate: festoon 3 SMD LED.
Headlight - compare the colors. Low beam is 4300K HID, while the LED (168 base) is 5 SMD 5050 LED at about 6000K. Used the same white balance.
Just got a pair of those festoon 3 SMD LED's in today. Installed them tonight, much cleaner look from the rear. Thanks for the links!

Just ordered the H11B Binglights for the headlights, got a pair of Piaa's for the H1 High beams and LED's for the parking lights. & Chrome look bulbs for the signals once I get everything I will have to install them all in the headlight housings.

I will let you know how they work out..they better be stock wattage like they indicate I don't need any melted wiring... they want $38.99 for the bulbs on e-bay I offered $30 shipped and got them which is ok if they turn out to be ok.

Where did you get the turn signals from? Any link?

I do not want to scary you, but my experience is very bad with those...
Overall I ordered 3 pairs, and all of them turned out to be too dim to use as replacement.

When I checked, none of them was more than 22W, while rear turn signal is 27W, front 29W. The chrome coating made them even less bright so overall I was afraid to use them...

I ended up getting chrome like Sylvania SilverStar.

I got them from E-bay I will see if I can get you the link or seller.
I am using the blue mirror colored Turn signals in my taillights made buy sylvania silverstar and I like them.
 
this is the link I think he may of sold out of them though...at $2.99 I don't expect much I think you are right they may be dimmer but I think they will work.
the link you gave me had silver (white light) bulbs. It will not light up orange (amber)... I hope you are aware of it.

Yup I am aware of that I did not care they were not amber as I wanted something different. I think that its actually illegal too but won't be the first time I had something illegal on my car LOL

It is not nice of you... really. I am disappointed.
turn signals should be amber. Not white, not even red (which is my, European opinion).

Update:

H11B BlingHeadlight Bulbs-ok for the Money Not Blue not majorly Bright but not yellowed either.

H1- High Beams Piaa Extreme White Plus Very Bright & very white I like!

Parking light wedge bulbs beneth high beam-LED Link in post from China by far my favorite bright white with a hint of blue.

Silver chrome turnsignal bulbs- Look great in the housing light up a silver white color not super bright but match the rest of the bulbs nicely.

I will update the Fog Lights when they arrive which are Texon bulbs.
