Do you now any good brands that sell brake and fog led lights? I figure these things will prob last 10x longer than regular bulbs so its probably a good investment. Plus i want to blind people when i brake =P

I've tried quite a few for the brake lights. So far, for the wagon, none of them worked. The sedan is different because it uses separate bulbs. I know it works already and there's a thread on Nasioc. Dude has all the part numbers and everything he did on the sedan. Looks good:

Looks bright in the video, but really isn't blinding like it makes it look
I've had my reverse lights in there for a while, but not long enough to know if they are going to last that long being in the sun and cold. So far, cold not a problem. We will see how they do in the summer though.

I know this one guy with a Black EVO 8 that's equipped with like a million LED's. When he turns all of them on, his car looks like a ****ing UFO.
I've changed all of my interior lighting to LEDs, And licence plate lights as well. The difference in illumination is so worth it, the higher color temp is icing on the cake.
I'd do the reverse and turn signal lights too, but I never see 'em so I've slacked on that.

I've done my third brake light, license plate lights, and trunk in addition to the reverse lights. I have bulbs for the front markers but I'm waiting for a good reason to do those because they are ***** since you have to pull the whole housing out to get to them AFAIK.
I got my dome, reading, hatch and license plate lights from fastwrx over 2 years ago. Easiest, most reliable mod I've made so far. The lights work flawlessly, dim smoothly, and are 2-3x brighter than stock. Plus, the interior lighting color now matches the pure white of the speedo and tach needles; no more sickly yellow.
I kinda like the idea of that dual-mode turn signal he has for the side markers too. The reverse lights and high beams are the last of the incandescents on my car.
