Default C5 updates

Guys,

I would like to update the C5 a bit.

So far I threw in the C6 shifter and ordered HIDs. Now working on satelite radio. Thinking of LED tail lights but like my Euros. Has anyone seen LEDs with amber/red similar to Euros seen on many C5s?

Also thought of the auto dimming mirror, side view mirror LED flashers and heated seats.

Any other ideas to consider with updating?

Thanks

Marc

Haven't seen any LED taillights like you mention. But, they just might look very .
