debated getting the Nokya's a while back but to me bright white > yellow. I realize you get more light output out the yellow nokya's but it just looks... off. Besides, who doesn't like projector LED's ?!

I'm talking about these: http://www.lightbulbs4cars.com/product/NOK9789

From what I've seen they're stronger than the ones you got, but not that much stronger to warrant the extra money they cost. They are however heatsinked better so you can run them like halogen bulbs.

Thanks Marcus. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished too. My screen shipped today so it shouldn't be too long. Hopefully all the other components ship out soon.

Just ordered some new CREE reverse lights for the esky. Figured I'd have some matching CREE's in the back since I got some for the fogs up front:

Escalade 2008 7440 High Power 12 SMD 5050 Cree Projector LED Reverse Lights

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Escalade-20...ries&hash=item231e4a580a&vxp=mtr#ht_677wt_750

I mainly ordered these because they actually have an escalade in the pics and they're from a US seller. Currently have SMD LED's in the reverse lights right now so hopefully these CREE projector LED's will be better then what's in there right now.

Well I figured since I'm getting a new head unit, why not get some bump as well. Just ordered a custom built dual 12" sub box to fit under my avalanche's second row seats, a 4 guage amp kit, a JL Audio JX360/2 amplifier, a pair of JL Audio 12WXV2-4 subs, and a ground loop isolator. It's not exactly "top of the line" but with the limited space under the second row seats, you can't exactly get a JL w7. Plus I'm just looking for a little extra bass, nothing too crazy. I found that when I had my 1 Kicker L7 10" that could handle a lot of power, it was bottoming out due to the limited air space I had in the custom box that fit in between my tahoes 2nd row captains chairs. Not making the same mistake again buying a bad ass sub with a tiny little box to put it in.

It will all be installed with my new head unit and other goodies. Many many many pics to come. The packages will pretty much be flowing in for the next week or two. Stay tuned...

Here are the CREE Projector LED's I got from eBay to go in the reverse lights. I like them way better then the standard SMD LED's I had in there before. They're a lot brighter too. Here's the ebay link:

Yea I really like em. I can't believe how much brighter they are compared to standard SMD LED's. Pictures definitely don't justify it.
