for the housing look where your license plate is. take a flathead screwdriver and there shoudl be 2 notches or grooves. right above where the screws are,(where the light housing is for the license plate bulbs are) one for each bulb (one on each side) stick it in. apply pressure with finger as well and push in and pull out. then simply twist the bulb out. and voila. it took me 1 minute to change mine.

since you dont have pepboys, just order the ones on superbrightleds.com

hope you get that sexy ride of yours even sexier. props that you didnt go with a BLUE led light ;) ..
white looks best imho. good luck!

LOL! This thread just reminded me that I bought some hyper-white LEDs about 6 months ago and forgot to even put them in! :lol:

Better go do that while its still fresh in my stale mind! ;)

(but i bet it only shows that cuz of the pic. not real life)

honestly Blue, just go to Pepboys and buy those White 194 LEd bulbs u see on display. my friend did that for his camry and they look really good too. or get the ones that i pointed out for you. you can't go wrong either way.


That's what I have... I'll post pics tomorrow (I'm letting a homie borrow my laptop and I left the USB cable in it :bad-words:). However, the only downside for the PepBoys LED is that although there's enough light output to not get you pulled over, it's not remotely close to the brightness of the "new Lexus" look that I was trying to achieve at the time, so your best bet is to actually get the ones with multiple LEDs instead of the cheap single LED.

The wledx6 is probably more bright than the t13 x6. The reason I bought that style was because I already had the t13 x9 and it was just a little too bright for what I was looking for. So with that in mind I knew the color and design worked I just need 3 less in each one.

The wledx6 is $1.00 or so more expensive per bulb so I'm sure it's just as bright as the 9.

Hope that helps.
