Where'd you get those LEDs from? I've been looking to up my lighting set up on my car as well.

looks great! I tried out some blue LEDs but they were way too ricey. I may have to find some white ones and do this. Thanks.

I changed all my bulbs with super white led's... ;D It makes a world of difference compared to stock, I got all my leds from www.superbrightleds.com (http://www.superbrightleds.com) they have almost all bulb applications of leds at a good price... :)

Same here, I changed my tails signals, and reverse lamps as well with red, amber and white, though this is a cheap alternative until I decide to get some custom made led tails. I purchased all of mine from www.v-leds.com

you can also use a 912/921 9-led bulb. each has 9 little leds. it can replace the 168/194 bulbs.

I noticed the 168/194 bulbs only have 6 LED's while the 912/921 bulbs have 9... Does this make the 9 LED bulbs brighter? Or just light up more area?
