What I wanna know is why they bothered making these nice led tails, and still use regular bulbs for the backup light and turn signals.

I've seen LED turning signal bulbs at Autozone and ebay. They are around US$6 each.

I have LED in all my tail lights, except reverse. Looks great :) Don't get those uni-directional LED bulbs. They barely illuminate enough in the dark, let alone daytime!

That flip trunk lid is crazy. I'd get it because it's trick and yet surprisingly not obnoxious... except I think you'd have to touch the paint on the top of the trunk to close the lid now. I prefer to grab the license plate so that I don't scratch the paint with my hands...

There are plenty of companies out there that offer just the bulbs, ive made some LED light kits for some computer cases i use to mod back in the day, one place that i always liked was http://www.ledtronics.com/ they are a lil more pricey then some specialty shops but once you start learning the lingo you can do google searches for the other kind of LED's and make your own :)

Took awhile before I realized it was there but there is a recessed handhold on the inside bottom edge of the trunk lid to the left of the latch for pulling the trunk down, very convenient.
