I thought the whole idea of LEDs is that they run cool, not like incandescent lights. No filament.
I have LEDs for the plate lights, love em. I changed my fogs and parking lights to 5000k bulbs to match my HID kit, love them too.
Sorry, no pics.

I got a set of H11s off ebay...cheap chinese bulbs that look excellent. 9.99 out the door for the pair.
I used a plastic butter knife to open the fog light cover. There is a notch in the upper outer corners, simply pry and pull. It feels like something is going to break, but it wont. It is a tight fit snap. Star bit after that to remove the housing.
I got my LEds at ijdmtoy.com....a little pricey, but no errors

Im not sure what yellow corner light you're talking about. I changed the parking light( acts as the DRL ) next to the headlight, the fogs, and the headlights all to 5000k bulbs and it looks fantastic. The increased visibility is amazing. 1 year later and still no "highbeam" flash at me or complaints that im blinding on coming traffic.
LEDs in the plate light sockets to match the front.....all in all, I love the look.

ok yea the parking light(yellow light) i am talking about. how did u manage to change that one, did you take the entire housing out or you were able to slip your hand in there (its very tight i can get the light out but idk if i can slip it back in so i backed off). also what kind of bulb is used for that light. put up some picss i am really curious??
thanks

its a 5w5 or w5w...its in the manual as a parking lamp. Again, ebay.
I used a needle nose pliers and flashlight to get to them, a simple twist and pull.
I will try photos this week end.

I will soon, I plan on using ijdmtoy bulbs. They com with resistors built in and guarantee no error codes. They are a little pricey, but bulbs in the past have been perfect without any issues.

).

I think I have ordered 5 sets of 194 and 5 sets of 36mm festoons but I was short for one set and had some left over from another (also, consider to replace parking lights what I didn't do it).
