Hey guys,

So my LEDS arrived in the mail today and I just finished installing them.

For those wondering I ordered from here: http://www.extremebrightleds.com/ - they are a Canadian company too (out of Alberta I believe) and it only took 3 days to get here.

You can get a kit specifically for the 3 however it only comes with the map, dome and license plate plates. Here are before an after pics:

Overall I think they look pretty good, happy with the price. The lighting is definitely improved. One thing that I also wanted to do but couldn't was the hatchback light. This kit doesn't come with the light, but the hatch uses the same 31mm light as the map lights so I ordered an extra bulb seperately.

I hope to get in one of these 31mm 6 LED Festoon bulbs but they DO NOT fit. A 4 LED bulb would be your best bet. These are the ones that will not fit as they are too wide:

No problem, I'm happy with the lights. It's a very small mod but its the little things that add up.
