So, I had wanted to add some lights in addition to the puddle lamps under the mirrors.. and the side vents seemed like the appropriate place to start. I've been wanting to do this for a while but other people have beat me to it.

(Other person's car (DFLORES @ clublexus))



Still waiting for him to post daytime pics so I can see how he actually mounted them. He says they arent visible in the day but I can't imagine how because it looks like he used one of the flexible sealed LED tubes.

Anyway, I ordered some LED's to do some experimentation and got them today. This is what I have come up with so far (excuse the wires)

My car:

(White, two LEDS)






(Orange, one LED due to laziness)








Thoughts? (Honest ones!)

I'm thinking of hooking the white LED's up to the puddle lamps + separate on/off switch, and then doing Orange hooked to turn signals(?)+separate switch. I also bought a set of blue.. not sure if I want to use those or not. Neat color but good way to attract bad attention from police.

I agree with H and Ohm, none of it.      

Well at least you have all of their honest opinions and they aren't lying to ya...

For my honest opinion...I say please DONT do it.

BUT in the end...its your car...no one can tell you what not to do with it...we don't make ur payments right???

I think those led look better than most widespread mods, like tinting the lights, which I think it's a disgrace.

Lights are fun, and since you have the performance in spades, you can get away with some silly mods. 

I'm flattered but confused. I'm not sure what "caliber" this car is It's really just an IS ($32K) with another $30k of factory rice
