+1 on the LEDs for the clearance bulbs (found on all 03-04 sedans, and I believe the same years for the coupe model as well). I have the bluish white LEDs for my clearance bulbs and they match well with the HIDs. I got mine from SuperBrightLEDs.com (think I paid around $2 per LED). They've been in my car for more than a year, and no issues at all.

which led's?
I purchased from V-Leds.com Order arrived in about 2 days.
Now, there are some crazy ones available with many surface mount LED's and such. I just wanted a nice clean look, nothing too loud. Also, by buying the simple ones, I was sure that they would fit perfect as they are no bigger than the originals.
For headlights, side markers, and rear plate I used

I also replaced all interior lights with

The cabin now lights up nice and white. When you get in the car at night it is much nicer to look at. Really goes will with the luxury theme. Just make sure you get white, otherwise it will make a move toward rice lol.

^ Yes, getting to the clearance bulbs is a bit tricky. I had to pull down the wheel well covering and feel out for the socket holder that holds the bulb while eyeing the headlamp outside and making sure the part I'm grabbing is the right part. Once you find the socket holder (it's a relatively long and skinny part), just twist counterclockwise and pull out, and from there you can replace the bulb.
