    I am seeing Paul personally this weekend to setup my GTX with my new LED setup. We will get tons of pictures hopefully and we'll post them up here and I am sure will have some on his company's site as well.

    Can't wait!

    Thanks Paul!

    I just ordered two of the "194 5-5050 SMD" one for the front and one for the back passenger side lights. I hope these will be much brighter than the OEM incandesents. I asked Sylvania what their 194 Bulbs are and they said 25 lumens. So hopefully that will help you guys notice the difference in lumens between stock 25 Lumens in 194 bulbs vs. the leds.

    Has anyone replaced the Trunk Light for their 2004+ GP? I'm wondering what bulb or board should be used and how effective it is.

    Well, finally got the bulbs in and replaced the Passenger Side Front/Rear Interior Lights with these bulbs in white. Definatly much brighter than the incandesents. I like them, but I'm kinda glad I have a bit dimmer Red LEDs on the Driver side from a different company, otherwise these would be soo bright that even if it was red, my night vision would still get screwed up. Very nice bulbs though, we shall see how they work over the long run.

    I don't see how red lighting will mess up ur night eye adjustment unless your starring directly into the LED. white light is what screws it up.

    also the trunk light should should be the same 194. I didn't use boards in my car, just 194's.

    You got the same model car I do I believe, the trunk light is like a larger incandesent bulb. It does look like the socket is similar to a 194 bulb though. I just wonder how well a 194 LED bulb will work in the hidden bulb window for the trunk.

    I am doing all the interior accent lights that come on when you open the doors, and the vanity mirror lights. Basically all the plug in lights.

    I am not doing the gauges, DIC, etc.

    Well just got done working with Paul for three hours. The car simply looks AWESOME!!! And he is one guy you will want to do business with again! We did map/dome lights, front floorboard lights, glove box, driver and passanger vanity lights, rear door overhead map lights, the trunk we did something different that came out totally awesome, and lastly we did the rear license plate light.

    All in all it looks like a new car! Paul took all the pictures, his camera was light years ahead of mine, so he will either send me some to post, or he will post them up himself.

    The quality of his product is incredible and the inventory he showed me was HUGE! He is going to make up a complete LED kit for the Grand Prixs to sell on his website. I recommend ANYONE interested in this, look him up seriously!

    That's what's nice about our kits/inventory. There will be 3 "stages." Each stage will be the same number of bulbs, to replace everything, but stage 1 is stock brightness or very slightly less, stage 2 is slightly brighter than stock, and stage 3 is much brighter than stock.

    Inquiring about vendor/sponsorship now so I can get the ball rolling- pics shortly after!

    Thank guys,
    Paul

    I can certainly attest to the various levels of lighting. LEDs simply produce so much cleaner light than anything else hands down! I did a blue LED interior for the cabin lighting, with cool white LEDs in the vanity mirrors, glove box, and license plate.

    I have a stage three on the license plate and man you see a serious difference between stock and the LED. Also the interior were either stage two or three, can't remember off the top of my head, but when they lit up, you can definitely see difference from stock.

    Thank you again Paul for taking your time out last night!
