There are a few things you can do to your 5.3. What are your goals?

I know i am definitely going to put some wheels on it....decals and tints. But I am really interested in also putting HID lights all inside my car. Pref. red. I only can see blue ones....does anyone know where I can get red ones? And are they easy to self install. I am car savvy...but when it comes to wiring and harnests...I dont think im that experienced. Maybe a bunch of youTube videos may help? LOLOL

Though looks like lots of input against doing the Lambo-style door hinges, if you're interested, I suggest you send a PM to Montyss02; he put them on his Monte recently. He'd probably share his sources / experience.

And just out of curiosity, would you care to share the meaning / significance of your username??

LOLOL.....
hmmm how can I explain. Well "Fiasco" literally means like chaos/destruction...u know just beyond negative. LOL. I of course am farrrrrr from negative. Im just a positive bowl of sunshine :-D. When the artist "Lupe Fiasco" came out, since my name sounded familiar so it kinda just stuck with me since Highschool. Id say about 8/9 years now. So my car is, of course, named Fiasco and most my screen names somehow has fiasco in it.

. Kinda made it my trademark

If you want to change the interior lighting color and you are typing HID into your searches, that's why you aren't finding anything.

Look for LEDs and the same number that the bulb that is stock has.

Low beam headlamp
H11

High beam headlamp
H9

Parking light
4157

Front turn signal
4157

Rear turn signal
3057

Tail light
3057

Stop light
3057

High mount stop light
Assembly (meaning you can't change the individual bulbs)

Fog/Driving light
H11

License plate
194

Back up light
921

Front sidemarker
194

Rear sidemarker
194

Ash tray
194

Glove box
194

Map light
578

Dome light
578

Step/Courtesy light
194

Trunk/Cargo area
912

So for example if you want to change the color of the light that is on the floor by your feet (the courtesy light) then you just buy a good colored LED 194 (perhaps a wedge shape so it projects light better) and you just simply pull the old bulb straight out, and put the LED in its spot.
