Hey advans, they ended up working when I turned off the car. Thanks a lot. I don't know if you ever rode an is250 or is350, but they have this single bulb LED that shines dimly over the cup holder and armrest, which I liked, so this dimly lit LED reminds me of it and I like it a lot.

Mad ! ! !

finally i changed turn signal to LED bulb this morning

and guess what? it dont WORK!!!

so disappointed -_-

i tested by turning on a hazard light to see if it works, they do not work at all(well it kinda blinked for every 5 second i think)

and warning sign came on -_-

i guess i will just get clear bulb or one of those cheap knock-off painted bulb for rear turn signal.

what am i gonna do with these LED bulb now , maybe i should just resell it on ebay.

oh, one more, i think license light bulb is 37mm cuz i bought 39mm and it was too big.

and about that warning sign(well its not really warning, its more of a message) do they go away?? or do i need to reset something?

well, for head light, city light, and fog light im using PIAA light bulb (none LEDs)

do i still need resistor for that too?

hope not ! !

and since im gonna put 194 LED on sidemarker, i'll be needing resistor for that as well.

GOD ! ! wasted money on freakin LEDs.

All LEDs that are being put out on the exterior need resistors.

Hey Advans, how do you take out the dome light on the back?

the dome lights?

they are easily removed, its just held it my "force" take a flathead, and that thing pops out in a sec.


BTW, I got sick of LED city lights, I removed my resistors. I even removed the city lights. right now I have 2 error messages! haha

the car looks cleaner WITHOUT city lights, especially with bi-x and HID fogs!
