OK, here's a few night shots of the lighting on my 96.

Did you use a yellow LED bulb for the taillight or is this just the way the camera made it appear? The HID headlight looks white, and the LED headlight looks blue. The dashboard looks blue & green.
 






No, the tail lights are red, just a reaction from the camera on the night setting.
I should have specified R & L as being L being Drivers side and R being Passenger, it's still and hold habit from when I used to be a mechanic.
 












Do you find the LED headlight to be better than the HID headlight? The HID is probably between 6K & 7K. The LED looks like it might be between 5K & 6K. Where did you buy the LED lights?

I actually like the LED's better, cleaner light, act more like OE since the low beam only light off the top of the reflector and high light off of top and bottom. HID's tend to light up in the whole reflector causing people to constantly flash their brights at you.

The HID's I bought locally but LED's I found on Ebay for around $80.00.

They're HI/LO at 40 watt total.
