Probably, May or so. You can visit my web page anytime, and buy them. I will soon be making a GB page, which will only be up when the GB is going and a normal page with the normal prices that people can just click add to cart and buy the item they want. Making it much easier.

awesome thank i'll take a look at your website first!

I was reading this post and i saw you were making a how to guide for the led's when do you think it'll be all complete? I would really like to do the gauges and hvac.

Sometime next week for the post97 cars, and probably a lot later for the pre98 cars. I need someone to do the following for pre98 cars first before I can finish it 100%

Hood, Bulb (what size from superbrightleds.com, along with before and after pictures.
Key Holes (gonna try this on my 99)

I think thats about it.

Got done with some more of the tutorial if anyone wanted to know. Book mark it if you haven't already, so you guys can check it without coming to the GB.

I promise as soon as I can get to it I will start working on helping you with that. I'm right in the middle of about eleventy billion projects right now...

Well, i didn't take any pics during the installs, but i'm gonna whore the pics of my LEDs.

SO far i've done:
-door handle LEDs
-LEDs above the cupholders
-LEDs in the 2 bins in the console
-Also rear dome LEDs on my old 99 mystique (pics here )








And this is backlit by an LED (i made my own ghetto incandescent replacement version of an LED):




More LEDs coming soon. In order to mount them, i just got black mounting holders from radio shack, they mix in nice with the midnight blue interior.

Oh ya, sorry about the massive pics.

Hey they look great. How long did it take to install them?

Umm, for the door handle LEDs not too long. You can prep the LEDs, resistors, and wiring before hand so that you can just go outside, take the covers off nad start splicing. Should take like 15 min per door once you get the idea. For the console LEDs, obviously it takes alot longer because you gotta remove both consoles and the radio trim piece (remove the radio trim to do the LEDs above the cupholders). Also when drilling in the actual console, you need careful planning to get locations and angles right. All in all, i'd say its a nice weekend project.

Also for those console LED's i wired a switch in, i mounted it inside my driver-side glovebox (mystique-only ), it's sweet.

Thanks for pics , so the door handels shine all the time , not just when the door is open? I was hoping they would do that , was afraid Id have to do some kindof modification to how theyre hookedup

Yeah, thats probably the one I get asked the most about myself. Just so you guys know the pre-98 consoles have a piece of plastic to light up all the letters on the shift indicator. For some odd reason some of these plastic pieces are green and some are clear. luckily I found a clear one while at the junkyard one day.
