How difficult is it to install LEDs? and the resistor?
I'm not really a fan of the yellow lights either.
Also, what about the side marker? How hard to install?
Where do I buy all of this stuff?
Thanks

I just put the resistor in the positive lead right? All the other led's ive put resistors on were more exposed so im a little confused. Id like to put leds in the fog lights but i dont know the size. The Xenons in my headlights will stay.
I got them from a UK site, only took 5-6 days to get here. The city lights are sized H6w and im pretty sure the side lights would be a W5W which this site sells. http://www.aceparts.com/

At less than $4 a pair, I would go for the superbrightleds. I think I'll try them out and see for myself. I tried the ones made by Hoen before, but those didn't last too long, and at $30, I'm not surprised they don't make them anymore.

yea u take a resistor and tap it into both wires
my whole car is led. if ur thinking of doing the interior none of the interior lights throw out lamp defective. but you will need to throw in 1 resistor into the overhead dome lights ONLY beacuse they do not shut off. they stay dimly lit all the time while the car is off. U only need to put 1 resistor into one of the 4 over head lights it works for all of them. all the other interior lights work fine without resistors. U should def do licence plate lights though. they are hot as hell. but then again, u need resistors. but u only need one for the 2 licence plate lights.

Well i got w5w or also called WEDGE bulbs. if u have stock lights these will not work. i got zams depo projectors and the city lights in those are w5w like the bumper lights. but i got mine from super bright leds and i got the 8000k cool blue. sick nasty!
and yea u bridge it to positive and ground wires and no lamp defective!
