    I ordered a bunch of lights for my Grand Prix, and I mean a bunch! This thing has 14 lights in the interior, lol

    Dome lights - 24-LED on the left, stock bulb on the right


    Floor lights - 18-LED on left, stock bulb on the right


    Vanity mirrors - 31 mm 4-LED bulbs on left, stock bulbs on right


    light in front passenger door with stock bulb


    light in front driver door with 194 9-5050 SMD (nine 5050-size SMDs on a 194 base)


    light above rear passenger door with stock bulb


    light above rear driver door with 194 9-5050 SMD (nine 5050-size SMDs on a 194 base)


    I also have a 194 9-5050 SMD for the glove box and I'm still not sure how big I can go on the ashtray light.

    I added two 18 LED boards to the trunk also, will post pics soon.

    I am going to goto a junkyard and try and get the lenses with the wiring from the front doors to replace the dummy lights in the 2 rear doors also.

    I have only replaced the 6 lights in the drivers side of the car, leaving it this way for a couple days so I can show people the HUGE difference these LEDs make. Pictures taken with a cell phone so they dont really show the true whiteness of the lights, or the true yellowness of the stock bulbs, lmao.

    I have a friend that has a LED business and he worked with me on exactly what lights would fit in which spots. These lights are absolutely the brightest ones you will find for this car. He is not a sponsor so I cant post his link, but send me a message if interested.

    I will take some install pics when I do the passenger side, they are all super easy to replace......

    When the funds become available, I am replacing all the exterior lights with LEDs and HIDs also

    Would your friend take some more orders? From the looks of it, you have 97-03 style GP correct? I would be most interested to see if he would? Everyone could enjoy making a little more cash

    Yes he has a small business so more orders is not a problem. If we had 5 or 10 people ordering all at once, we may get a discount. I will send him a message and send what kinda group buy discount we could get.

    And yes, I have a 97 GTP.

    Ok excellent! Thanks for posting the prices. My next question, and I am sure it is a no-brianer, but can he make certain ones with Blue LEDs? ie the Map lights, the floorboard lights, and the rear passanger lights between the Oh Sheeet handles?

    GM went cheap on the 03's (and I think some of the later year models) and did not include lighting harnesses in the door panel reflectors, so I wont need those two.

    Let me know what kind of pricing change is needed to procure them in Blue?

    Many thanks for your efforts!

    We might to consider a link in the Group Buy section if we can get enough people interested.

    You would be incorrect Fury, there are still many 194 lights in your car and it would not be hard to figure out the rest of the lighting layout for your car to get them setup for your ride.

    I am sure of that!

    Also how is everything going over there? Keeping your head low I hope?

    hmmm well I can't think of a good way to find what will fit, if anyone has any info on what will fit 04+, I would be greatly intrested in a group buy and I have my PayPal ready . I would be intrested in blue LED's if they have a slight tint to them. then again the bright white would still look good with my underbody LED's.

    and everything is good. There was an accident today in the motor pool, a fuel truck exploded. I dunno what happed, we was loading up a flat rack and i'd say about 300 yards away was a huge BOOM! smoke and dust everywhere, then we had accountibility formation. I hope no-one was hurt.

    I want to do this with blue lights for my 04 grand prix but I have NO electrical know hows. haha. I feel like a blind person playing memory when it comes to messing with amp and watts and volts and all those goodies. haha

    So if anyone has done it to a 2004+ grand prix, hook us boys up! haha

    Yes, he can do blue and other colors too. He has a large variety of different sizes and types of LEDs, SMDs & HID's.

    I dont think I am allowed to post a link since he isnt a sponsor, or I would have already.

    I told him there was some interest in his LEDs and he is going to join the site.
    I guarantee you will love his products, I have them in both my cars!
    Here is a few pics of my other car with his amber LEDs in the front & rear footwells, all the vents and in the hatch:
