that looks really BA man. I wondered if you would be able to tell that they were LED, was worried it would just look like an extra bright bulb, but I can see every one of those babies! SWEET!

I've never changed a bulb before.Do I need to buy a floor jack?See last pic. Where did you get them?Any hyper flash yet?Yea, I know, on the turn signals but I thought the red lights were on as a 4-way flash.

Haha no I just finished changing my oil and rotation my tires =P and so far I haven't had any flash issues but I haven't done the turn signals yet. One of my co workers saw them and said I'll prob still get rear ended by blinding the person behind me hahaha

I had no idea they made LED's like this. What modifications did you have to do to get them to work?

No modification for the tail or reverse lights. The tails i had to squeeze down the arms to get it to fit into the hole. But depending on how the blinkers come out ill prob have to put a load resinator to keep them from hyper flashing. Ill be ordering the turn signals next week hopefully.

I've seen relays to are supposed to not hyper-flash. Probably 5x the cost of a load resistor.

Im using v-leds.com They have some good coupon codes if youre willing to wait for them to send them out. They come out really quick. and they had a facebook special for 10 mins one night where youre whole order was half off. really great quality stuff. i havent had a issuse with any led product ive bought from them. the longest led ive had in my car from them is close to a year or 2 old.
