Tail and head light replacement

Anyone replaced the tail light lamps with an LED configuration?

Anyone replaced the headlamps with something fancy like a set of PIAAs? Did it make much of a difference?

I'm also considering such a swap when I get mine... are the lights easy to get at?

I'm toying with the idea of making my own... but it seems just too soon to be tearing the stock lense apart just yet. :p

you dont have to take apart the lenz from the housing. Its acutally two pieces. Remove fender liner. i beilve its two bolts then you pop the clear plastic cover off.

The new lights for the rear are going to be led. Just wait a little longer and you can get oem replacements.

You can buy aftermarket LED tail lights from the following site. About $150.

Y'all probably already know this, since it's an older thread- replacing the bulbs is relatively easy IF you remove the front wheels. The front plastic fender comes out soooo much easier. I replaced my bulbs with PIAA 4000K bulbs and I detected a big difference. Oncoming traffic notices me better too, when I flash my hi beams. Worth the upgrade, cheaper than the HID conversion, and close enough for govt work....

FYI, I have the information on doing the LED retrofit with OEM parts.

If you want the info, email me at rhetoric@aol.com
