Thanks Jim. My understanding is the GW lights are LED and bright white and non adjustable. Does the Vanagon.org <http://vanagon.org/> foil come with lights too or are they separate, and if they are included are they LED and kinda harsh or closer to stock? I like stock. My wife says I’m less attractive under LED lights (this came up when Paradise by the Dashboard Lights came on the radio the other day) and I need all the help I can get.
