    i did the same set up, but bought my bulbs individually from ebay for about 7 bucks a piece. got pretty expensive but looks great. i also put them on my license plate too, looks hot! but then again the obc states rear license plate failure due to it uses so much less power that it does not detect it, and also it started to flicker... im guessing due to the cold, so i took them out and put the stock one back on. this is such an easy mod anyone could do it... the manual tells you how to replace bulbs so look in there for any trouble.

    EBay is not a store. It's a venue to bring buyers and shoppers together. Chances are, I bet mmotorwerks.com even has an account on eBay and sells their stuff for cheaper than their own website. Most online stores do that now.

    I found them on Ebay searching for "39mm LED". Be careful, I accidentally bought the blue ones instead of the white ones. Now I have to wait and see if the seller is not an Ass.??

    Yes, I just bought 5 off ebay for about $5/ea. I want to see how these look and make sure they fit and then I'll buy the rest. I could really use the extra light under the dash...I seem to find myself under there too much.

    Edit: I bought the 39mm, 9LED, white xenons. Search "39mm LED"

    ^^^ Did you also bend the tabs for the light in the back seat? That pillar light uses a smaller bulb, and I am still trying to figure out how to fit that 39mm LED bulb there. Also, do you get license plate failure for the plate light when using LEDs? Any fix?

    Doesn't look too bad, IMO. Is it hanging down or something?

    What looks bad though, are your parking lights on with your angel eyes. At least make them the same color. Sorta ruins the look.
