Try this site for all your bulb needs including LEDs that are a direct replacement for blubs, ( resistors installed ). Me, i needed the #1157 for the front marker/turn signal and a set of #7440 for the rear turn signals. 4 bulbs and shipping was 12 and change.

Thanks, I happen to be looking on eBay for my brother in law tonight and found Sylvania bulbs for really cheap too!

Hey Jap these are like the LEDs i have except mine are orange.. got the at http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini_tubes.htm for 16.95 and $5.00 shipping.. very easy install.. ans i mounted mine form the top so you dont see led unless you bend down and look up at top of headlight housing. or you are very far back.. I can show you the hook up on these next time we meet up if you want..

One method is to use a screwdriver and hammer to break out the plastic the other method involves baking the lights in the oven to loosen the sealant. Once the sealant is soft you pull the halves apart and remove the plastic piece. Then you bake them again to soften the sealant and press them back together.

Hi Surf!
I finally put on the citylights, but did not clear my amber, i'm too lazy to take off the headlights. man that 5mm LED won't fit, how did you do it? I only fit 3mm LED.

Looking good Sid. I did have to massage the 5mm a little to get it in there. It doesn't look like there is a whole lot of difference in the amount of light output between them! Nice work.

thanks you sir, well, I have to sacrifice the remaining 3mm I have. Its an easy swap(not soldered) so probably i'll trim some 5mm and get it to fit. its kinda hard trying to work it out when the headlights are in the car

I think that's what made the differnce when I did it. I could get the led into a position that would be really tough if they were still in the Box.
