    Hey everyone.... I've got an order in to Classy for a set of retros(can't wait till they get here!) for my 00 GTP, going with the 5000k kit and xb35 bulbs, clear lenses on the mini h1's, and then clear corners as well.

    What led setups do you like to run with the clear corners? Do you have any pics?

    What are any options for the fogs besides doing a retrofit there also?

    And am I gonna have issues matching led's to my setup?

    Thanks for all your input.

    I know Diode Dynamics makes LED replacement fog light bulbs for out cars, but they are for the looks only I believe. As for the corner. Are you talking about the main blinker bulb or the smaller one for the corner?

    Thanks for the input on the fogs... Does anyone know how close these led fogs would come to matching the look, color wise, of my setup.

    For the corners, I'm not sure how it would look with some led's in either spot or both. I'm trying to find night time pics of gp's with retros and clear corners.

    DD says its a 6000k or pure white. I should be pretty close. The regular bulbs will work fine, because they both have the orange amber coating on them EDIT: The smaller ones are clear so you had to get amber colored ones to retain the amber color with clear corners which is what I would do because I don't know how the local police would take to flashing white lights . LED's you gonna need resistors to stop hyperflash with the blinkers.

    I just saw that too, about the 6000k. I think they'll be too different for my liking.

    I understand that about the led's. I'm willing to wire in what I need to if they're gonna look better. Do you not think the led's would look better instead of the factory bulbs for my clear corners?

    Honestly its up to you, I'm running just regular bulbs with regular corners. They might look better, personally I don't see a need for LED's because I'll never see them while on nor do I do much night driving. I'd do some more forum searching should be able to find some pics someplace.

    For reference I THINK:

    I am going to recommend that if you do get leds for your clear corners, there are some on ebay that are a fraction of the price of Diode Dynamics. I bought license plate leds from Diode, and I honestly am not impressed. I then bought some of ebay, fraction of the price and still has the same brightness. Im just throwing that out there to save you some pocket change.
