My fogs are actually cheapo $5 dollar (that's really what I paid for em) LEDs from China and they're still going strong after 3 years because they were one of my first mods. My AAC LEDs which were supposed to be "better" LEDs had to be replaced 4 times. I was actually going to do the Diode Dynamics ones but I did some research and basically bought all the LEDs that are equivalent to their stage 2 kits. For a total of $5 dollars for the interior map lights, trunk lights, and license plate lights, it was a tough deal to pass up

To be honest, my girlfriend really gets the credit for that one. After I loosened everything, 2 buddies and I started to try to take it out. We literally were there for 30 minutes pulling and twisting till we got super frustrated. When we decided to take a break and cool off to try again in a bit, my girlfriend came up to it, looked at it for 5 minutes, and took it out in one motion. Made it look like a piece of cake. I will say that she has a lot more patience than I do though . She also helped a bunch putting in the new HUGE pedder's sway bar because putting in the new sway bar is a lot harder than taking out the stock one. The difference in size from the stock to the pedders one is huge. On that one we struggled a bit as well but again, she just looked at it, twisted the bar a little and we pulled and it went in.

Do you have a link to the LEDs? I'm curious to see the ebay page and if they have other colors. I was thinking of doing a blue for the map light and white for the rest. But then again I'm not against white for the map light?

She sounds like a keeper did you make HER a sandwich afterwards?

Anyways, thats helpful thanks. On another suspension note, Didnt realize how expensive the rear subframe bushings were.

This is what I bought for the map lights and trunk lights, which is the exact same as the diode dynamics stage 3 ones: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121140440550...84.m1497.l2649

And this is what I bought for the license plate lights, which again is the same: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141012606663...84.m1497.l2649

*NOTE* I am by no means talking bad about the diode dynamics ones. I just decided to do a little research on what they used and bought them cheaper from eBay. I decided to take a "gamble" on the China LEDs because of how cheap they were. If they happen to go out on mine, I'll probably by the diode dynamics ones but for now, these were good for me.

No but I did take her out to eat, does that count

Are you looking for the full replacements or inserts?

Free food counts in my book...

but full replacements are probably going to be the better option im assuming.

I don't know if we have the power to warrant full replacements in my opinion. I have talked to Pete from Pedders and his opinion, along with what I've seen from a lot of the suspension guys is that you need at least over 450 rwhp to warrant full replacements. For full replacements, easily the best are the pfadt ones but man those are insanely expensive. Supposedly, ADM makes a full replacement bushing that they don't really advertise but is supposed to be really good. But I haven't seen a lot of reviews probably because the ones that knew about them were a few members. As far as inserts, I'm doing the pedders ones after seeing the review of caverman comparing the pedders ones vs the energy (bmr) suspension ones. They're more expensive but well worth it.
