Hey everyone just did another mod to the tC. I got these directions from www.clubsciontc.com pretty sweet deal. I just picked up some blue LED's from my local auto parts store (PepBoys) 3 LED's for $6-7 so you need at least 4(2 LED's in each mirror). All you locals don't go to chicago ridge on SW Hwy and Ridgeland(sold out lol) I needed all of the blue for my dash I plan on doing next. Regular 12V LED's work great, I will post pics when I clean my ride(just rained). Follow that website's directions except for sanding the metal(shows up bronze when lit up) Try not to scratch the chrome liner when dremeling. You don't need to sand anything, you break off the orange LED's and use their posts to solder the new LED's to(very clean install)

I'm pretty sure blue blinking lights are quite illegal on non-police vehicles.

For those that are interested the link about is a great DIY with pics....i was comtemplating this mod as well with White leds (and i also like the blue idea too) but after readin further into the thread....the leds kept shorting out....i believe due to opening and closing the door....not really sure but i suggest reading this thread above....its a great mod but something you dont want to continuously keep doing...

The blue looks awesome BTW :up:
