I changed a LOT of bulbs to LED - PICS

I changed just about every light in the car including front and rear blinkers to LED. I already have my custom made front sidemarkers that were modded to LED. Here are pics of everything even the blinkers (which did need to have the Load Resisitors to stop hyper blinking). The sidemarkers are also modded to blink which you will see a second row of LED's that light for the blinking. From the video it looks like the front blinker is really dim. It is ONLY the angle, from the front it is as bright as stock.

You have to remove the trimp around the trunk latch and pull back the carpet. There are three nuts that have to be removed from the back in order to remove the taillight housing from the car.

It is a 10mm.

Hope this helps

Yes they are plug and play I ordered them from superbrightleds.com. They are the

3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb
30x10mm (1.181 inches long)12 VDC Festoon Base Bulb with 4 LEDS
Select LED Color
$ 1.89

But right now they are sold out of the white, or no longer carrying them in white. I had a set I was giving away on the boards a few days ago but someone snatched them up last night.

Yes you will need two. Some people have had problems with the superbrightleds bulbs not matching. That is why I purchased 4 of them in hopes of having two that matched and all 4 did. That is why I had an extras set.
