Looks nice! Where did you purchase it? Also how many smd's does it have? I've been wanting to do this easy mod just haven't gotten around d to it. Same for taillights, lol.
Most importantly are you satisfied with it?

I did the same upgrade and if I remember correctly the first "cool white" bulbs I bought were too darn bright so I toned it down some with a warmer LED. I purchase all my LED stuff from Super Bright LED.com and they have never steered me wrong. The only problem I had was in removing the lense from the dome light base without damaging it. The damn thing snaps on with no logical or apparent way of unsnapping it other than brute force. Of course I ended up breaking one of the tabs off but a little Gorilla Glue took care of that. Follow the guide in Super Bright LED even if you don't buy the bulbs from them.

Quite the line-up I had planned out today, along with cleaning the garage:P
So, started by cleaning my K&N filter, here it is as it was:
Here it is after 2 cleans:
An, here is once re-oiled:
While the filter was air drying, I decided to remove that ugly noise reducer in the hood:
And, I also relocated the CB to the top of the dash:

As far as brightness goes, they're as white as 6k HIDs which is right up my alley. And if they all fail tomorrow, no big loss, its only five bucks.
And whenever possible get a Pay-Pal account, it makes life so much easier.

So far so good, out of the five I got, I put one in the cabin, one in the third brake light.. its the same bulb, and the other three in my wife's third brake light as well. The PT Cruiser uses 3 so there they went.

i had to crank my torsion bars to the max and use a pry bar to get my reflex shocks to align with the bottom mounting holes , then return the torsion bars back down to the pre measured level
( just a word of advice -- grab some extra stainless nuts and use them them for the top mounting stud - they will prevent any rust from forming on the stud threads - )
it makes it easier to remove the shocks later on if you need to replace them

i have read horror stories about those shocks

Warrantied my MOOG upper control arms/ball joints through rock auto. They should be here on Tuesday. When I send them back and get credited the money back, I'll be ordering bilstein 5100 shocks. Gonna do tie rods at the same time since I'll have to get an alignment after the upper ball joints anyway.
