    Cheers bud,
    Nah, front map lights are white led's but they look light blue.
    There brighter than standard obviously & yes i got em off ebay.

    What i like about the Calais map light assembly, is the ability to turn each light on/off individually

    Nice!! does the calais light have dual bulbs in each side? if ya get me? like one for the spotlights, and one for the mains?

    I just looked at my one, and with the door open, when you push the spot light on, it seems to go a bit brighter, but couldn't really see how many bulbs were in there?? -- with out pulling it down..

    I wanted the Calais one? cause it was Black!! lol, to match the rest of the interior... Its an added bonus that it has the additional 'spotties' function!

    Its just a single bulb, or in my case a Led.
    I haven't tried mine with the light on then pressing the button. Might give it a go see if it gets brighter!

    Just get on ebay & run a search for VZ interior, you should find a few black ones, i got mine for $27 from Motorfield Direct (NVU).

    Hey nice job on the lights! It creates a completely different environment in the car hey. When I changed mine I found that it certainly brightens up the interior and gets the occasional compliment or two :P Makes the car look just that bit more luxurious.

    Question on the dash lights, how much did it cost to get it converted. Was it by phreddy?

    Thats for a L4 cluster, L3 might be abit cheaper.

    Ahh spewing, would've liked it to be two bulbs/led lights in there.. Oh well!!

    Yeah I already have one, it already came with the lights, so I fitted it without looking, I changed over the roof lining to a VZ one to get rid of the 'centre' light that the VY's have..
    Think I got it for around the $35 mark, posted.. not sure where from though, through ebay..

    Great improvement I rekon!!

    Keep the mods coming, you're giving me ideas!! lol,

    Thanx 4 the comments boys,

    Baracuda, Prob get SS lights next year sometime. Im going overseas in a few weeks, so i need every penny.

    Zuessy, i got it detailed about a month ago, the paint had swirl marks in it, the water beaded but after u washed it u could see the marks.
    Not any more as u can gather by the pics.

    Kal123, i use Armour all Wash n wax. Then a good chamois after that.
    Just go to Repco, cost is around $8 its a blue liquid.

    Wow the car looks great! Not usually a fan of colours on cars, but that blue comes out really nice looks awesome! Gotta love Wash'n'Wax always does the trick!

    Just with the swirl marks... my paints in really good condition, but when you park it in the sun, being a black car, the reflection of the sun shows some very very light swirl marks and scratches just from the previous owners washing id imagine. Is this what you had? I got a quote from a paint specialist and he reckons that he'll do a complete buff and polish, and paint sealant or something for $295 and it will make the paint flawless. Just curious if this is similar to what you had done, becuase I'm a bit suspicious... It doesnt really need it just thought it could be a good thing down the road.

    Yeah thats the same situation i had but the swirl marks where everywhere no matter where u look, they continued down about 2-3in from the bottom of the windows, the bonnet & boot line.

    That sounds a reasonable price but try to find a car salon, where they specialize mainly in car detailing. Thats where i went.

    Its best to get it done sooner rather than later, as the paint could suffer if left untreated.
