my 1.8T jetta

If you mean wedge base then yeah, all wedge base LED's from superbrightleds.com. Made a huge difference for me, stock lighting output was nothing compared to what I finally have now.

I was also looking at making bars, for the footwells and trunk, but I'll probably do them later on, I just did direct swaps for now. I'd like to see your finished custom bars .

My lights cost me about $95.00 CAD. Seems like a lot but stuff adds up. I ordered 14 replacement bulbs, 2 of the bulbs were expensive ones because they were for lighting up my headlight housing and it's just a small 194. They were shipped from America, so I had to pay for shipping and what not, the package also got opened at the border (even though I told them to send it as a gift) so I ended up paying duty. Last but not least I'm in Canada so I had to pay extra for the currency exchange.

Check out my ride in the rides section for a preview of what I have in so far.

yeah i checked it out thats why i asked if you used all replacement bulbs. i didnt go that route because they cost too much. im going to just build LED circuit boards to replace the over head lighting but everything else i just bought a bunch of LED bulbs im going to wire up. i got 20 wide angles which are a 45 degree viewing radius and 100 20 degree bulbs for $26 total shipped from hong kong factory direct. should be here in 2 weeks im having a friend bend me some aluminum flat stock and drill them at his shop to use as the bases and ill wire maybe 20-30 a side for the trunk maybe less not sure depends on how they light up, and ill do 5 wide angles in the glove box and 6-7 a foot well. and everything is getting wired into the existing light sources for those areas so they are hooked to a switch to come on when you open the door, so pretty much they are a custom direct replacement
